My Father's Son ReviewThis was a very good book. Kevin is your average teenager, loves to play basket ball, has a crush on his Spanish class partner, and has a best friend. His normal life everyday life of living either at his Mom's house or his Dad's is about to turn upside down.
Kevin's mother struggles to make ends meet, having dropped out of school young to get married and have Kevin she's had a tough time since the divorce. Kevin's father, Greg is much better off. He's a computer programmer and lives a very comfortable life.
After a normal teenage day, Kevin sits down to watch some TV and sees the Newsflash, the DB25 killer has been caught and the photo on the screen is his father! Of course Kevin knows he's innocent because he's a great Dad and could never cut up and torture these women like the TV says.....or is he??? Kevin's life turns inside out, his mother will not talk to him about anything of her early days with his father, and he doesn't even know that he really does have Grandparents. His father refuses to see him in jail and his lawyer is barely polite to Kevin. Soon the whole school is looking at Kevin as if he's the killer and eventually after loss of his temper Kevin's best friend will suffer his wrath.
I read this book in one sitting; it grabs the reader and holds onto you. The ending was not expected and I could not wait to get there. I just couldn't put the book down until I knew how it turned out. I felt for Kevin during his struggles. His mother, I felt, should have been more open with him; I understand his father not wanting to see him, and I also felt Kevin's hurt with that. I felt sorry for Jason, his best friend, he was just trying to get on with life. But the one character that most moved me was Linda, Kevin's mother's friend. I didn't like her at all. I felt she was completely out of line with Kevin from the minute she set eyes on him. Just because the kid looked a lot like his father didn't make him his father and her attitude was ridiculous.
I recommend this book to all ages, it was great, the mystery and the life of Kevin were gripping. The characterization was very good as well. It really grabs the reader and pulls them in.

The President's Henchman ReviewI enjoyed this book as a 'before bedtime' read. It moved along and had enough twists and turns to keep me guessing. Defintely a low-calorie thriller that doesn't take itself too seriously.
What bothered me were the characters. Everyone was a relentless cardboard cut-out 'Mary Sue,' especially the president. Not content to make her brilliant, insightful, kind, and thoughtful, without a single controversial opinion, she had to also be an athletic supermodel and movie star who does aerobics every morning. Of course, she also had overcome a supreme tragedy in her life that not only left an air of sadness about her, but also propelled her into the realm of greatness. Freaking YAWN . . . what a bore.
The rest of the characters are little better. They are all noble and fine with unassailable virtues. The women are stunning, soft yet tough. The men are handsome and manly, tough yet soft. . . . Puh-leeeze . . .
However, mary-sue-itis aside, Flynn is a good storyteller and keeps the tale moving. The many subplots dovetail nicely and I did enjoy it to the end, despite my craving to see one of the perfect characters, especially the president, to fall and fail.The President's Henchman Overview
