Betrayal

Betrayal

by: John Lescroart

I have read all of his books. They are usually very good. The front half of this one - HARD - but by the back half, all the front half was helpful in the understanding of the plot.

This was a hard book. the first 2/3's are all about the War in Iraq; the soldiers, the people who are over there trying to rebuild, getting contracts to do so. It was not a nice look at any of it. There was some information that I didn't want. I would like to know if it is true. Obviously, the author was VERY against the war and what has happened after. But, how much of what he wrote is true, and how much is just his opinion? That was a bug.

Then the last 1/3 of the book, we finally get to his usual characters. There is a crime, a lawyer. Will it all be soved correctly?

I enjoyed that last part of the book, but because of the hard first part, I can't reccommend it. Who wants to read about people doing bad things, taking advantage, wasting our money. It was sick.
