About this deal

It wasn't very believable but the characters grew on me and I found myself liking Devine as he tried to learn who murdered Sara Ewes and the secrets at Cowl and Comely. m. train into New York’s financial district, to his new job as an analyst at the powerhouse investment bank Cowl and Comely, takes him into a world where greed, power, jealousy and ambition result in the financial abuse of the masses and the enrichment of an elite few. I have to admit it’s not something that interests me at all and I’m not a fan of books featuring white collar crime. in that day and leap for joy, for surely your reward is great in heaven; for that is what their ancestors did to the prophets. A positive mention also goes to the societal message in the story, which is truly thought provoking.

moments but this is Baldacci we are talking about and he knows exactly how to make a book into a major page turner. One of his mentors is found hanging and what originally looks like suicide is soon deemed a likely homicide. Travis Devine is a man endowed with both brains and brawn: he currently works for in a New York investment firm, putting in long hours in his job near the bottom of the food chain, but he’d previously served as a US Army Ranger in both Iran and Afghanistan.There is a beautiful, though somewhat lengthened, paraphrase of the "Trust" in the Commonitorium of Vincentius Lirinensis, composed about A. The first few chapters, I had thought he was going to be some one-worded or short sentenced, near silent protagonist, kind of character. This book could not have possibly been written by the same man that wrote “Absolute Power” and “Total Control”. It seems he’s inadvertently stumbled across some dodgy dealings, some of which potentially involve less-ethical governments.

Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you, revile you, and defame you on account of the Son of Man. This is just the tip of the iceberg as what is revealed is submerged in very murky waters in this well crafted thriller. Definitely in the minority judging by other reviews but this was a DNF for me at 15%,I found both the writing and the main characters hard going and certain things odd ( people living in houses worth billions do not have a train line running past their mansions,certainly not close enough that the men can spy on a lady in her pool ) very cliched in places (sweet cheeks? The narration would have been better if it had just been left to a single person - some of the dialogue was very disjointed - almost as if the parts had been recorded separately. The 6:20 Man had a very interesting and somewhat compelling plot - not the best but certainly much better than mediocre.Allergies are getting the better of me this morning, but I’m hyped because there’s going to be a Nintendo Treehouse Live Presentation in a few hours! He opens the book with a good hook, “Travis Devine took a shallow breath, ignored the heat and humidity that was rising fast along with the sun, and rushed to board the 6:20 train, like it was the last flight out of Saigon.
