First Family ~ David Baldacci

Funk Rating: 7 out of 10

I'm seriously starting to wonder why I order Baldacci books at full hardcover prices. It's not that they're bad; it's just that they're not that good anymore. This is another in his trajectory of generally implausible plotlines that still gets you turning pages and saying, "this isn't so bad, but it could have been better."

If you like Baldacci, and this is the only thing short of some really bad stuff at the airport bookstore, you can read it instead of working on the plane. But it's not gonna be one you treasure...
