The Book of Lies by Brad Meltzer

3.0

This is by no means great literature, but it is a fun, fast-paced read. I would have rated it higher, but the G rated language was quite annoying after awhile. Mostly because it was so gosh-durned unbelievable. Hardened cops and felons who have done hard time do not say "what the fudge." I mean, seriously, unless the target audience is tweens, either leave passages like that out altogether or do it right. This is not 1950, no one is going to be shocked by someone saying What the fuck. Or if you're that queasy, at least make it what the hell. But the persistent use of "eff" and "fudge" was not good.
