JA Konrath is the author of six novels in the Lt. Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels thriller series, the latest of which is Cherry Bomb.

THE LIST is a bit of a departure for Konrath. It's a technothriller about a group of ten people who all have tattoos of numbers on the bottoms their feet, and don't know why.

One of them, a Chicago Homicide cop named Tom Mankowski, has had one of t...more

I've been following Joe's blog for quite sometime as I think he has some great thing to say to new and aspiring writers. When he lowered his price to $0.99 I took the dip and really enjoyed it. This is not a book to "change your life" its just a nice entertaining way to spend a few hours and there is absoltuely nothing wrong with that. I enjoyed it and when have even if I paid $4.95 instead of $0.99...Guess I'll go buy a few more Konrath's to put some more money in his pocket to make up for the...more

I’ve never read any of his books before, so I was pleasantly surprised to find this author has expertly crafted a novel riddled with scientific experiments gone haywire, intertwined with political conspiracies; antagonists so terrifying you won’t want to sleep with the lights off for at least a week. “The List” is incredibly entertaining and had me guessing right until the end – and all my guesses were for naught as nothing was what it seemed. A brilliantly formulated plot with an utterly shocking and unpredictable ending, held me glued to the edge of my seat for hours on end!

I loved all of the characters. Well, all the good ones, at least. Imagine meeting Abe Lincoln, Joan of Arc, Thomas Jefferson and Albert Einstein (to name a few) in real life. That would be awesome, right? And can you imagine Joan of Arc as a Hollywood producer trained in martial arts who can kick the heck out of…oh, let’s say, Vlad the Impaler? No, that’s not a spoiler. That’s only a microscopic tip of the iceberg called “The List”. Because the reader is catapulted headfirst into the action in the first chapter and is given so many hints at what’s to come later in the story, my one fear was that it would lose momentum half way through, and then peter out to a mediocre, unsatisfying conclusion. Lucky for me and everyone else who reads this adrenaline-spiking thriller, this does not happen at all. “The List” starts out fast, driven by clever writing, witty, pragmatic characters and knee-jerking plot twists, and manages to keep its breakneck pacing throughout while building up to a stunner conclusion that leaves you wanting more of this magnificent writer’s extraordinary creations.

I’m a huge fan of horror, so naturally Stephen King and Dean Koontz are tops on my list, but as from today J.A. Konrath will be added to that list of authors who have perfected the art of sending chills down my spine with their fear-inducing works. “The List” is mostly a thriller but has enough shocking scenes and malevolence in this fast paced heart-stopping story to satisfy any horror fanatic’s lust for the macabre. I will most definitely be reading more of Konrath’s books!

The List by J. A. Konrath is fun entertainment, and a great recreational read. The story moves very fast, and there is lots of action. The plot is interesting enough to keep you engaged. If it were a movie, it would be a combination of "Die Hard" and "National Treasure". The characters are not super deep, but deep enough to contribute to the action and plot elements of the story.

Sure his name(s) is virtually unknown outside the e-book market, and his typical fare definatly isn’t for everyone (read Killers, or Serial, you’ll see what I mean) but that shouldn’t make a difference. It’s a shame when lackluster and disappointing novels the likes of Patterson and even Koontz dominate the market while Konrath’s works are kept to the realm of digital downloads and small, independent markets. Thankfully, this hasn’t stopped him from writing to his audience, and NOT to the critics; it keeps his books pure and just the way they should be, without the input from an overpaid editor from some ridiculous publishing house.

Nowhere is this clearer than in “The List”. Like most of Konrath’s stuff, this one was originally rejected for mass market publication and again, it simple baffles me. I’ll be the first to admit this isn’t my favorite of his catalogue, but even then, Lee Child couldn't hold a flame to this piece of well written fiction.

From the opening sentence (“We found the head”) to the last period, “The List” is a non-stop, thrill-a-minute, joyride. There’s a plot that while not exactly original, has plenty of original twists and turns, characters that you can’t help but love, and plenty of action and suspense that should please even the most hard-headed critic.

Of course there will be complaints regarding the science that is presented here. Hey, I have no problem telling you it’s way out there, and the kind of thing you would see on a si-fi original movie, but I’d be lying if I said I understood all of it (I slept my way through high school bio) but that mean I don’t want to believe it. Konrath’s descriptions and use of scientific imagery is so crisp and concise that I can’t help but imagine a government conspiracy and a plot to overtake the planet with genetic clones.

And I know there’s the dialogue and relationship between Bert and Roy. It comes off as corny and contrived sometimes, and yeah, they’re almost like the Odd Couple of yesteryear, but unlike the previously mentioned Koontz, Konrath makes it work. If nothing else, these sarcastic dialogues and bad one-liners prove that unlike far too many authors in this genre, Konrath never seems to take himself too seriously. I don’t always like this, but I have to give a big thumbs-up to Konrath for being able to make some of the most dark and dire situations into something laugh-out-loud funny.

So the novel “Origin” may have been a better book in my opinion (seriously, if the late Michael Crichton were still alive, that would have been the book he wished he had written), but that shouldn’t stop anyone from picking up this book. Like I said before, Konrath’s name probably won’t ever top the New York Times Bestseller list, but that doesn’t mean he’s not one of the best thriller writers alive today. (less)

The first sentence on Chapter 1 is “I found the head”. How can I not love it immediately?

Unique plot? Check.

Tons of actions? Check. Almost as much as the sweet mind-boggling actions in ‘Draculas’, but unfortunately not as gorrific as it.

Level of gore? Moderate by Konrath’s usual standard. The impaling and the decapitation were scary, sure, but then again, they weren’t vividly presented to us readers as in Endurance. It felt more like a fleeting moment of a glance at an ugly carcass rather than b...more

Readers will find people like Joan of Arc, Albert Einstein, Atilla The Hun and more. How they get into the story is familiar territory for avid medical thriller readers, but you won't find a lot of medicine or science here.

In The List, 30-year-old Chicago police officer Tom Mankowski arrives at a gruesome murder scene and finds that the victim has a strange blue numerical tattoo on the bottom of his foot. Tom has also had one of these tattoos since birth but has never learned why. As Tom digs deeper into the victim's life and research, he uncovers more people with these strange markings...and an apparent plot to kill them all. A high-suspense adventure begins to unravel the mystery of what these tattoos mean and why they seem to be a death sentence.

Reading a book like The List requires the reader to do a few things, the most important being a) accept the idea of fantasy and b) have a sense of humor about it. The reality is that The List, like so many other books in the thriller genre, is over-the-top and requires you to accept some "realities" that could never exist in the real world. This is a genre that requires readers to accept evil supervillains, mad scientists, murderous conspirators, and Rambo-like levels of physical stamina. (The fact Tom isn't already dead 20 pages into the book is incredible.) If you can't allow yourself to suspend logic for a few hours, you'll never be able to enjoy a thriller of this nature. And that includes The List.

When some of the secrets behind the mysterious tattoos were revealed, I couldn't help but laugh, but in a good way; they were the laughs of an entertained reader, not a mocking one. Again, it's all about that ability to accept fantasy and go with it. The dialogue can be hokey at times, but Konrath has a good sense of humor. A recurring gripe I had was that he turned Tom's African-American sidekick, Roy, into a racial caricature in terms of his speech, but it wasn't severe enough that I felt irreparably offended.

My biggest disappointment was with the ending of The List. This is where Konrath lost me as an entertained reader. It is so completely over-the-top, not to mention gross-out, that it stopped being a fun escapist read and became too ridiculous to be enjoyed. It was a very disappointing way to end a book, and almost made me push the overall rating down a notch. I imagine most readers will walk away with that same sense of letdown.

However, the rest of the book is pure literary cheese, and if you like your thrillers to be over-the-top, you'll like The List. It's not high literary fiction, but not all books have to be.(less)

Two detectives, Tom and Roy, are investigating a murder when Tom realizes the victim has a tattoo that matches one on his own foot.

Konrath writes an intriguing plot but sometimes, that’s not enough, nor does the intrigue last after a few chapters. The suspension of disbelief is jarring and the characters become a bit too comical for my tastes. I don’t mean, in this case, that they’re humorous but rather, the characters become punchy and comical versions of themselves that I could only laugh as they went on a search.

Another issue I had with the book was the sudden dumping of information regarding a large portion of the plot – a chunk of scientific jargon that, for those not well-versed in the subject, gets tedious and boring. It also seemed too sudden and too easy for the information to come into the light. I think this particular problem could have easily been solved by spreading the eye-opening experiences over more chapters; it would have widened the amount of time spent learning what was done with people and it also would have kept more interest.

The writing isn’t the best nor is it far from the worst. Certain parts of the novel read too much like an essay though I believe this is due to the scientific aspects of the plot. There were big chunks of “this happened, then this, then that, then this again” as can somewhat be seen in the following quote:

“After taking a picture of the nuclear DNA with seeded film, we ran an electromagnetic current through the negative. It worked. When a free floating adenine saw the negative picture of a thymine, it tried to attach itself. It couldn’t, of course, because that wasn’t a real thymine molecule – it was only a picture. But it did line up correctly, along with all of the other molecules. We made half of the zipper. Then we scraped the negative, added more bases, and the other half of the zipper formed.”

While this isn’t terrible to read every once in a while, especially when a character is explaining a process, Konrath tends to use it often to a point that it becomes a tired trend.

In his afterword, Konrath describes the journey THE LIST made from conception to editors telling him to cut it down to the editing process to the publishers declining it once more despite the changes. He mentions that he continued to cut it down. I had no problem with the length of the novel but I did have an issue with a few scenes and pieces that ran too rampant for seemingly no reason. One particular issue was Roy and Bert playing the ‘punch buggy’ game that was once popular for children. Unfortunately, it acts as an annoying gimmick throughout a vast majority of the book.

The premise of THE LIST still remains interesting but the execution of the plot doesn’t work in its simplest form. Perhaps another rewrite and a few more cuts of unnecessary jokes would have made this one a bit better.(less)

I picked this book from the description. It seemed like a little bit Science Fiction, a little bit Mystery, with some humor to leaven it.

It really isn't much of a mystery, but that's okay. The initial mysterious death and with it's tattoo connection to the investigating detective is also okay. That's about where you should suspend your belief and general "mystery genre expectations." At that point the book turns into more of a thriller, a chase to catch the "bad guys" and save the world.

The books are a mixture of the humor of Janet Evanovich, Carl Hiaasen, Christopher Moore, but with the scares of James Patterson, Thomas Harris, Patricia Cornwell.
