"Absolute Power" is a well-written suspense story. Having seen the movie prior to reading the book, I was a little worried about being a step ahead on every page. That didn't happen. As usual, the book is better than the movie. The main premise of the book and movie is the same, but some of the storyline and characters are a quite different. If you liked the movie, you'll love the book!

This book has a fast-paced story line. Lots of suspense and surprises. The main character is great. Definitely gets into the political scene in D.C., power and abuse thereof. But the good guyd win. Nice ending.

Can the President of the United States get away with murder? The fictional answer to this question has set the literary world on fire and transformed David Baldacci into a household name and overnight success. Going beyond the classic works of John Grisham and Robert Ludlum, Absolute Power combines the highest levels of political intrigue with big-money law, cutting-edge forensics, and the riveting search for a truth hidden within the power of the Oval Office.

Baldacci is fast becoming one of my favorites. It is difficult to put this book down because you just "need" to "know" the entire plot. What I like about Baldacci is he holds my attention throughout the book. He develops is characters well so they are captivating and compelling.

This book was made into a movie with Clint Eastwood, except the movie was quite different and not as good as the book. You will enjoy this book much more than the movie, even if you have seen it. I sure did.

Kristina G. (A great read and a mew twist on what the power of the executive branch could do. It makes you think and gives you a thrill as you read it. I know movies aren't ever as good, but I would love to see this one!
