    UNBOXING NEW FALL BOOK RELEASES.

    Of the 4 books in this series, I've only found the last 2 in audio editions. This was fun, but Sandford hadn't quite hit his stride with characterization. This was a good story, but didn't seem quite as good as most of his later work. Still, I'm glad I read it. I might read the first 2 as ebooks as well.

    I am a big fan of the John Sandford Prey books but I could not get into this book. It was written in and the technology which plays a major role in the story is now so outdated, it made the story less fun for me.

    John Sanford's Kidd Novel series

    I guess I should have read this book 15 years ago, might have liked it better. But the book's biggest drawback for me was the main character and a lot of supporting characters were all hackers, scammers or involved in some other illegal activity and probably all should be in prison I am a big fan of the John Sandford Prey books but I could not get into this book. But the book's biggest drawback for me was the main character and a lot of supporting characters were all hackers, scammers or involved in some other illegal activity and probably all should be in prison, bad guys!

    Jul 09, Susannah Carleton rated it really liked it. Good book with a keep-you-on-the-edge-of-your-seat storyline and lots of plot twists and turns. A very engrossing story.

    Nov 13, Julie rated it really liked it. I am amazed at how John Sandford can come up with the 3 different people he uses for the main characters in his novels. They each have different personalities and the books follow the flow for each of them. Kidd is standing alone just fine : Keep waiting for Kidd and LuEllen to decide to take the plunge and be together full time! Oct 21, Owlsinger rated it liked it.

    It's always heartwarming to see the main characters exit the story without hospitalization or physical therapy. The Kidd novels seem to be more of a cerebral exercise in problem-solving, with occasional e-evidence thrown in for confirmation as well as Advanced Burglary , an advantage Davenport doesn't always have. There seems to be only one left in this series - aside from the cameos in the "Prey" novels - and I will miss t It's always heartwarming to see the main characters exit the story without hospitalization or physical therapy.

    Jul 11, Piroska rated it liked it. Good, but sometimes it couldn't hold my attention, especially with all the outdated computer stuff. Sep 01, Chuck Kechter rated it really liked it. Though a lot of the computer info is dated, this doesn't slow the story down at all even now.

    Good summer reading! Jun 20, Anita rated it liked it. Kidd is the hero, everyone else is a villain. May 15, John Culuris rated it really liked it. Now this is more like it.

    John Sandford (novelist)

    After the twist and turns and betrayals, we get to see the villain outfoxed and forced to watch everything gained through treachery taken away; and there is a satisfaction when the final defeat is conceded. The second Kidd novel, which involved wresting power from a corrupt Delta town, ends in a physical confrontation with one of the dem Now this is more like it. The second Kidd novel, which involved wresting power from a corrupt Delta town, ends in a physical confrontation with one of the demented villains. It fulfilled the thriller aspect of the story but there was something lacking.

    When a fellow hacker dies under suspicious circumstances, his sister brings Kidd a coded, pre-death message. Before he can even make plans to proceed Kidd discovers the government is interested in a radical hacker group called Firewall--and he, under his hacker name, is listed as a member.

    He knows some of the other names listed, has heard of some others, but they are not an organization. Kidd and his friends have to uncover the truth before the government runs them to ground. Better, Sandford arranges an ending that gives us the final battle befitting a thriller but leaves a lingering enemy for a checkmate. This time out, satisfaction delivered. This was the first of the Kidd series I've read. I understand from Sandford's "after notes" that this series came from a query by his son that if he could come up with a good enough plot and character structure, would he Sanford write the book.

    Sanford said he would. This is not a normal Sanford book, and it doesn't read the way a standard Sanford book reads. The style is different as it should be, and the story itself is good but way out of the realm of Sanford's books about Lucas Davenport a This was the first of the Kidd series I've read. The style is different as it should be, and the story itself is good but way out of the realm of Sanford's books about Lucas Davenport and fuckin' Flowers. So any comparisons between these two styles ought not be made, in my opinion. I would never think of giving Sanford anything but five stars.

    Sanford is a consummate professional and one of the best contemporary writers we have. Perhaps some found fault with this book because in their mind, they were unconsciously thinking of Sanford's Prey series and Lucas Davenport and comparing. Consider A J Rowling writing under a pen name and how that book went nowhere until some learned that this book was written by her under a pen name.

Hart slipped an automatic pistol out of a belt holster, and Goodie gulped and fumbled out his own revolver. Camp once told a Publishers Weekly interviewer that he planned to continue writing books featuring his two popular protagonists, Kidd and Davenport, and was contemplating a new pseudonym under which to write mainstream novels of a more literary nature.

    It then shot up to bestseller status immediately. The characters were not likable and the story line was not in any way engaging. And when I realized I neither knew nor cared what was going on, I closed the book and moved onto something else. This book was written in , obviously before So perhaps that had something to do with the boredom in the action.

    Sandford has written a lot of great novels. This was not one of them. It's a John Sandford novel. Very fast read, good action, and a lot of fun.

    The story is dated, since it involves the characters being online a lot. With their dial up acoustically coupled modems. But it's a whole lot of fun. May 05, Daelith rated it liked it Shelves: read. Jul 30, Randy rated it really liked it. I've enjoyed reading many of John Sandford's books about Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers, so when I saw this book with a different protagonist, I jumped at the chance to read it.

    Kidd is an artist who also participates in industrial espionage. A friend of his is mysteriously murdered, and that friend's sister comes to him to find out why he was killed and who killed him. Lots of action, murders, I've enjoyed reading many of John Sandford's books about Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers, so when I saw this book with a different protagonist, I jumped at the chance to read it. Lots of action, murders, and of course a little under-the-sheets activities with Kidd's associate, LuEllen.

    The book was published in , so some of the technology is dated. Nevertheless, if you have enjoyed Mr. Sandford's stories with Lucas and Virgil, I think you will also like this one. Jul 09, Patricia Henry rated it it was amazing Shelves: finished. Part of a series dealing with a thief, LuEllen and a computer hacker, Kidd who is also an artist and a bit of a professional criminal.

    One of Kidd's hacker friends is killed and Kidd is asked to help solve the mystery. He was out of it. The man outside was pounding on the door. He headed back through the house, snapped on the living room overhead lights to let them know he was coming, looked out through the drapes-another ten seconds gone-and unlocked the front door.

    Corbeil was waiting.
