| 1. The Book of Lies |

By: Brad Meltzer
Publisher: Grand Central Publishing
June 01, 2009
Author Brad Meltzer's effort to wrench a thriller from interpolating the Biblical tale of Cain and Abel with the death of the father of Superman's creator is strained, at best. The story plods slowly, stuffed with highly unlikely coincidences in an attempt to justify the plot's unsatisfying resolution. It's rendered jagged by too much clumsy dialogue, a gaggle of flat and unnecessary stock characters... more

By: Brad Meltzer
Publisher: Coronet Books
August 07, 1997
A lot of people seem to be on the fence about Brad Meltzer. And with most of the work he's done, I see an average rating of 3 stars. But I like the guy, I'm just going to say that. And being a bestseller, others like him as well. Does this make him the greatest author of all time? Nah, but it does mean he's turned some heads. I've read a couple of his works and enjoyed both. So when I saw his debut... more

By: Brad Meltzer
Publisher: Grand Central Publishing
March 01, 1999
If I could give this book zero stars, I would have. The story is completely unbelievable. The dialog is ridiculous. No lawyer at a high-priced law firm and no Assistant District Attorney speak like the characters in this book speak. Sara, the newly hired ADA, who previously had worked 6 years at a high-priced law firm, answers her phone "This is Sara". And an "experienced" ADA takes time to coach her... more

| 5. Identity Crisis | 
|
By: Brad Meltzer
Publisher: DC Comics
October 01, 2005
This graphic novel takes the superhero's main defense--his mask--and peels it back, not only physcially, but also psychologically. A superhero's mask is his main protection against the prying eyes of not only the general public, but also the enemies he makes in the course of his duties. And it not only protects him, but also protects his friends and family as well. But now the unthinkable has happened... more

| 6. The Book of Fate |
|
By: Brad Meltzer
Publisher: Vision
May 01, 2007
I'd describe this book as a mixture of Vince Flynn and Tom Clancy (minus the military, and sleep-inducing passages). There's a bunch of action, likable characters and a good ending. I can't ask for more in a book and have recommended it to several friends. ... more

By: Brad Meltzer
Publisher: Coronet Books
September 13, 2004
This was second book I have read from Brad Meltzer.
This book is very interesting. I like how writer begins the story with such a simple thing as game in Washington. Then you can find out what people are playing in making new laws and legislations. After small misunderstandings and big bets things turn around for everyone who is involved in the game. Something that started out as kids thing... more

December 01, 2001
Nora, Nora, Nora. I was so sick of her I could scream. The protagonist was written as if he were a 17-year old lovesick smitten puppy. I found the writing somewhat immature. The White House trivia was interesting, but characterizations and a ridiculous wrap-up to the plot left me disappointed... more

| 9. Justice League of America, Vol. 2: The Lightning Saga |
|
By: Brad Meltzer, Geoff Johns
Publisher: DC Comics
January 27, 2009
I'm a really big fan of both Geoff Johns and Brad Meltzer but this trade left me scratching my head raw. The Legionnaires have always been a slightly confusing topic to start with then you add in a JLA adventure with the JSA abd you too many characters who have as much of a hard time as the readers figuring out what is going on. Maybe this project was too ambitious. I don't know exactly why but... more

September 23, 2008
Metzger's storyline has multiple subplots, but the overall theme is the evolution of both hero and villain; in this case, Red Tornado (John Smith) and Amazo. While in the astral plane, Tornado is aided by Deadman into inhabiting a fully human cloned body. However, this decision proves to be fateful. While Tornado loves feeling human again, his android body and Vixen's totem are stolen by mercenaries... more
