The Big Lie

I read to get away from the current political nastiness. Surprise, surprise… James Grippando decided I needed to live it in fiction also. To say I’m disappointed in this book, is an understatement. I even pre-ordered it. First time I’ve ever requested a refund on a book.

Cropland took today’s headlines and tried to make a story. He failed. Charlotte is one of the dumbest characters I’ve read. The caricature of President Trump is ludicrous. And Jack can’t get out of his own way. Sorry I wasted my money

Nothing more than a sad political statement. I enjoyed these books until the apparent need to make everything these days political.

Ive read all the jack Swytek books and generally liked all of them which is why I preordered this one. This is Just a poor attempt at trashing President Trump, with a ridiculous storyline . Hope I can get a refund, and this author is off my list in the future.

I’ve been a fan of James Grippando since his first book, and The Big Lie is among the most enjoyable. Fast-paced, timely, humorous and surprising, it’s a fun read. While it has a political theme, it’s not heavy-handed and wasn’t a burden to my over-saturated news junkie mind. From skimming the other reviews it appears some readers don’t like one character’s not very flattering similarities to President Trump. So if you are offended by some light satire, which is on par with a good Saturday Night Live skit, perhaps this book’s not for you. Otherwise, join Jack Swytek in an exploration of the electoral college and Florida’s Stand Your Ground law, while having fun identifying the people and places that populate this page-turner.
