Crystal from Beaufort, NC

What did you think of POWER PLAY?
It was a great book.I started it on Saturday afternoon and had it
finished by the evening.I honestly couldn't put it down.It kept me
interested and guessing at what would happen next.I loved Jake's "average Joe-ness" and his nonconformity among the higher powers at his
company.His character was very complex, but I think everyone can
identify with at least one of his many traits.The other characters
were interesting too --- some I loved, some I absolutely hated, and
some were somewhere in between.The suspense kept me on the edge the
entire time and I loved the setting of the secluded lodge.I almost
didn't want it to end because I wanted to learn more about some of the
characters, but I did want to find out what would happen.
Would you ever read a future book by Joseph Finder?
Definitely.I enjoyed KILLER INSTINCT, but I loved POWER PLAY so I will
definitely work on his backlist and read whatever he puts out next.
Debbie from Gulf Breeze, Fl
Have you previously read a book by Joseph Finder?
I have read all of his previous books, and PARANOIA and COMPANY MAN
still remain my two favorites.
What did you think of POWER PLAY?
I will say that I enjoyed the book because it was an easy read and it
kept my attention. I also wanted to keep returning to it, as I could
not even begin to guess how it was going to end. Mr. Finder's
descriptions of [the characters'] whereabouts were so detailed that I
felt like I had been transported to those locales. My favorite was the
second paragraph of Chapter 14, in which he describes the fishing lodge
and mentions being "immediately hit by the smells of wood smoke and
mulled apple cider." I was there in the moment!
Jim from Fortuna, CA
Have you previously read a book by Joseph Finder?
Joseph Finder's POWER PLAY was the first book I have read of his.
What other suspense/thriller authors do you read?
I also read suspense/thriller books by John Grisham, James Patterson
and David Baldacci. They are all very good, and I think Joseph Finder
belongs right with them.
What did you think of POWER PLAY?
I must say, it was very good. It held my interest all the way through,
and the last bit Ijust could not put down. It was very exciting
indeed.
Would you ever read a future book by Joseph Finder?
I am now looking forward to reading the next Joseph Finder book.

No.
What other suspense/thriller authors do you read?
Robert Littell, Lee Child, David Baldacci, and David Morrell.
What did you think of POWER PLAY?
This is my first Joseph Finder novel. POWER PLAY is a great read. It’s
truly a book you can’t put down.It deals with corporate intrigue in
our present-day post-Enron world. It’s set at a corporate retreat,
where the guests have no e-mail or telephone access.There is a high
level of action, without too much complexity.
Would you ever read a future book by Joseph Finder?
Yes.
Lisa from South Houston, TX
Have you previously read a book by Joseph Finder?
No, this was my first and I loved it.
What other suspense/thriller authors do you read?
James Patterson, Lee Child, Harlan Coben, Jeff Lindsay, and Michael
Prescott.
What did you think of POWER PLAY?
I thought it was a great book. The storyline was intense. Usually, I
have everything figured out by the time I'm halfway through a book, but
POWER PLAYkept me guessing until the end.
Would you ever read a future book by Joseph Finder?
Yes, can't wait for the next one.
Norine from New Rochelle, NY
What other suspense/thriller authors do you read?
Other authors I've enjoyed recently are Richard North Patterson, Eric
Van Lustbader, Phillip Margolin and Jeffery Deaver.
What did you think of POWER PLAY?
I enjoyed this book very much.The suspense of who done it and why was
exciting, andthe need to find out was very "on the edge of my"
seat-ish.Some of the technology information was interesting, and added
to the overall story very well.Joseph Finder never lets you down.I
wish I had a better word for it, but his writing is good!I always
finish his books wanting the next one now!

moved along smoothly. It that kept me interested until the end; I was
sorry it ended. I will highly recommend it to friends.
Would you ever read a future book by Joseph Finder?
Yes, Finder is now a must read.
Tami from Oldfort, TN
What did you think of POWER PLAY?
Honestly, at first, I thought how many more "guys in suits in the
woods" suspense stories can this author write? But I love it! I got so
into it that I read it through the night,and it was all I could do to
keep from turning to the end and seeing who did it! I would tell all my
friends this is a MUST read.
Becky from Valley Grande, AL
Have you previously read a book by Joseph Finder?
Yes.I have read COMPANY MAN and KILLER INSTINCT.
What other suspense/thriller authors do you read?
Lee Child and Allison Brennan are just two among many.
What did you think of POWER PLAY?
I really thought that the story was very slow in the beginning, and
didn't pick up until the executives dinner was interrupted by the
kidnappers.But as the story progressed, I knew that I needed that
history of Jake to help me better understand him.
Would you ever read a future book by Joseph Finder?
Yes!I hope to read them all in the near future.
George from Lafayette, LA
Have you previously read a book by Joseph Finder?
Yes.I have read almost all of hisbooks.
What other suspense/thriller authors do you read?
Simon Kernick, Mark Billingham, Deon Meyer, Lee Child, Michael
Robotham, James Spiegel, Michael Gruber, Peter Spiegelman, Ken Bruen,
Douglas Preston, P. J. Tracy, and Barry Eisler.
What did you think of POWER PLAY?
Actually, compared to Finder's other novels, I was disappointed. I
thought the main character wasn’t particularly likable.So, as a
result, I didn’t really care about what happened to him.I also thought
there wasn’t much of a plot ---it was mostly a series of action
sequences once the bad guys came into the picture.
Would you ever read a future book by Joseph Finder?
Yes.
