Supurb action thriller/ scary stuff

|
My book was perfect...no typos and the like. The story is exciting from page one, packed full of information that makes the characters more likeable and very believable. The scenarios are realistic, frighteningly simple and made me completly paranoid!! I`m about to order the second part as soon as I have finished this review. The book is completly unputdownable !!! Buy it.

Not bad...but certainly not a 5-star read
|
Err..is everyone who has reviewed this book either a friend or a relative of the author?
Let's get a reality check here please: this is a decent attempt at a terrorist-thriller, and is fast-paced, thought-provoking, and page-turning. But a 5-star book, it ain't.
The writing style is amateurish, the prose basic, and to release a book that hasn't been proof-read is simply inexcusable (I'm not exaggerating when I say there must be in excess of 500 typos & grammatical errors).
Not a bad first book, but certainly not brilliant. This author has a LONG way to go to join the top thriller writers around at the moment (Lee Child, Harlan Coben etc.)

Soft Target,hard reality
|
A fascinating,highly addictive first novel from this brilliant new author.It's intelligently written without being in any way highbrow,Conrad Jones certainly knows his subject and combines historical fact with insight and empathy.
The subject matter has already been explained in earlier reviews,what really comes across in this amazing novel is the total possibility of this being a prediction for the not so distant future,nothing about it is far fetched.It's written in a fast pacy manner which will have you speed reading in no time as you rush to see what the next chapter brings.
Totally unputdownable.

Brilliant reading
|
|
I read this book on the advice of a friend who had already read it. What a great read it was, I couldnt put the book down and read it three days flat. Every page hooks you into turning it over and finding out what happens next. The ending was brilliant and gives you a real taste to read more from this author.

Conrad Jones is an outstanding new author
|
|
Having just finished Conrad`s book Soft Target, all I can say is WOW! a very enjoyable book full of unexpected twists and turns that keeps you hanging on for more. I won't cover the story itself, that has already been done by other reviewers. What I will say is "BUY IT NOW" and make your own judgement, this guy has got talent and I look forward to reading his next book. New authors need our support. They are the ones who entertain us!
