Jim's review
Wild Fire by Nelson DeMille
After two strong John Corey novels (Plum Island and Lion's Game), this is the second straight that falls short. The Corey character is strong and wise-cracking one minute and then whipped and docile (around his wife) the next. That relationship was, to be polite, rushed in Lion's Game and dragged down Night Fall. It's a little better here, but the inconsistency in this book hurts it.
DeMille can't write a bad book, but I'll be wary about the next one if it contains John Corey again. He's a great character, but needs to be utilized better.
