Cemetery Road CD A Novel Greg Iles Scott Brick Books Reviews

• I have been a big Greg Iles fan from the beginning of his career but unfortunately this will be my last book of his I purchase. Like many of my favorite authors the practice of adding politics to their stories is a giant turn off for me so I will simply return this book and get my money back. I work way tooo hard for what little money I make to spend it supporting the liberal agenda. Sorry Greg and toodaloo to you!!
• Have been a huge fan for a long time. Pre-ordered this book. Very disappointed in the political commentary/positioning. Big turn off and very typical lately of writers that think their readers want this in their novels. Tired of the elite journalist character that is so much more evolved, smarter, and worthy than the rest of us. Lots of stereotyping here. Skip the book and read one of his old books. I may try him again with a new book, but will wait until it goes on sale or at the library. Just another successful rich writer/artist that appears to let their politics be part of their product/art. No different than so many singers and actors. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.
• I wish these authors understood they alainiate half their readers when they bring in obvious biases into the writings. We as readers try to get away from this when we read and it literally ruined this book. Will be sending back. I get enough of this from the media and hollywood. now its in our books. Guess its ok to drop the N word throughout the book though wheil you bash the president. Good Luck in your future writings as you have lost this reader.
• Huge fan of Iles; perhaps one of my top three fav authors; and I read a LOT (2-3 books per week).
  Have read his books over and over many times in the past (just LOVE Black Cross and all the Penn Cage books).
  
  BUT, with this latest one "Cemetery Road", it had to get political and started bashing our President. I understand these are the character's thoughts, but Iles words it in such a way that it's so negative, not just from the first-person character view, but also from his own (Iles') view.
  
  I'm saddened when a novel no longer tells me a great story, but instead becomes a political narrative.
  
  Sorry, but this one will remain unfinished. You let me down Mr Iles. What a disappointment.
  
  Perhaps I'll just re-live the good 'ol days and re-read "Sleep No More" )
• I really wanted to love this book, because it's by Greg Iles, I thought it would be another winner. It really misses the mark. And it doesn't have anything to do with Trump!! (For Pete's sake!!) I got so tired of conversation after conversation where this one has the upper hand, no, now THAT one has the upper hand, wrong again, now this one has the upper hand again... The whole book is like that. And Jet is so unlikable, I wanted to ask Marshall, what it WRONG with you??? That pair was so boring, all these conversations that were just speculation about what MIGHT happen if THIS was discovered, or THAT person found out something. I was so glad when the book was over. I wasn't going to pay money for something and then not finish it. But this won't stop me from being a Greg Iles fan, he has too many other great books for this to keep me from reading whatever he comes up with next. But I might wait until the next new one gets donated to the library and I'll borrow it from there, just in case. I'm donating Cemetery Road to our library next week.
• Greg Iles is one of my favorites. All of his books are page turners, and if you decide to undertake reading an Iles novel, plan on getting nothing done until you are done reading. After the last Penn Cage trilogy, I wondered how this author could ever top such an awe aspiring saga and he for sure delivered.
  It is frustrating that others found the plot overshadowed by politics. The mention of Trump and the current political climate is so incremental compared to the nail-biting, non-stop tension and drama. If you could let such a small matter deter from such an enjoyable read, well, the only term that comes to mind is...snowflake.
• Lost me on page 69 when he just had to include Trump derangement. 63+ million people voted for President Trump, figures that some of them might spend hard earned money on your book to enjoy the mystery not your political “opinion”.
• When Nascar drivers are interviewed after a race and take a big drink of Coca-Cola on camera, they receive $10,000. Most donate it to their charity, but still it's distracting. The same is true in Greg Illes new book. My favorite author must have received a new Ford Flex, or a few dollars per mention. I'm almost halfway through Cemetery Road and not sure I can finish. He sometimes refers to his Flex 2 or 3 times on one page. "He turned and walked to his Flex" "He placed his briefcase on the back seat of his Flex." Okay..I get it. You have a Ford vehicle.
