 I don't think Baldacci wrote this one August 20, 2008
I've been a fan of Baldacci, although I must admit, I haven't read all of his books. In contrast with the others I've read, I wasn't even able to finish this one. That is rare for me, because I usually need to know how the story ends. Simple Genius reads as though it was ghost-written. It is full of cliched dialog and unbelievable events.
 Simple Genius August 18, 2008
This is an excellent read! So far all I have read by this author is great.
 SIMPLE YAWNER July 23, 2008
Short and sour....the poorest Baldacci book I've read.
These characters and plots were highly interesting in their first two outings. Not so here.
Frankly it was hard to work up any interest or sympathy for the characters or the story. Just mediocre in every regard, and some of the dialog and character reactions were suprisingly banal and predictable. The CIA "bad guys" were equally poorly drawn and the I found the anti-Bush and civil liberties tirades tiresome and irritating.
Save your money and visit your library....it might be worth your time only if you got it for free.
Not the David Baldacci I used to Know July 21, 2008
"Simple Genius" - Well, it was adequate. I just think Baldacci is capable of so much more. Going way back to "Absolute Power", I thought it was brilliant. With "Simple Genius" I was brought in to a certain extent and then from time to time found myself wondering how many pages I had left to go and looking forward to the next book on my unread shelf.
 Probably Better By Listening July 17, 2008
I really enjoyed the audio version of this book but I can tell that it might not have been an easy read. I found parts of it riveting, parts predicatable and parts incomprehensible but overall the characters kept the story from getting out of hand.
