 "A little silly" 2009-12-19
By L. Beachum (Texas)
You can see the plot and moves coming and they are very predictable...the main character is a little childish and his wife is a little dull...but a good quick read...comic book prose and entertainment without the pictures, but stiil better than TV.

 "I like Joseph Finder but I found this novel Slow paced and Predictable - 250 pages in and I'm ready to quite" 2009-12-15
By Opinunated (USA)
I've liked other novels by Joseph Finder.



I did not find "Killer Instinct" very compelling.



I found the story line slow paced and quite predictable:



Story Line: An electronics's company executive meets, by chance, an ex-special forces member with a jaded past. The executive helps this person get a security job at his company. Not very surprisingly, things start falling into place for this executive - his career advances - thanks - in no small part to the gratitude of this new hire. Even less surprising is that this ex-special forces member is using less than ethical methods to advance the career of his benefactor.



After 250 pages --- I'm ready to move on to another novel.



Will there be a conflict between the executive and the ex-special forces operative - of course. But I'm not sure I'll even bother finishing the novel to see the outcome.



Update: I finished the book and it was, as predicted, predictable.



Not recommended.



Slow paced and VERY Predictable.



Finder has written far better novels!

 "Ambivalent" 2009-10-06
By Carol Donaho (Livingston, Tx USA)
This is the story of a guy named Jason Steadman who is a salesman for an electronics company that is being merged with another company based in Japan. His job is in jeopardy. Jason is relatively happy being a salesman but his wife isn't. She wants a bigger house, a bigger salary, a baby. She isn't happy at all. Fate intervenes and Steadman meets an ex Special Forces guy, Kurt,and gets him a job in the security dept. at his company. Now, Kurt is not only a great pitcher for the company team, he can make things happen to help Steadman become more and more successful. As Jason rises quickly through the ranks while others are fired, he begins to wonder about Kurt's role in what is happening around him.



I don't know if it was the Kindle version being hard to read due to the font or just the characters themselves, but I honestly didn't like any of them. Jason was some kind of confused young man who did what people told him to do without having an original thought, his wife was a money grubbing witch, Kurt was not a very nice person although he thought he was. It wasn't until the last 50 pages or so did I gain any respect for either Jason or his wife. These last pages saved the book.



It is a page turner as far as the action is concerned but if you don't care what happens to the characters, it is hard to keep turning those pages.



This is definitely not one of Finder's best - but an average Finder book is better than thousands of others. This will keep your attention and you will want to find out what happens which is why I gave it 3 stars instead of 2 but not good enough for 4. Wait for the price to go down.

 "Entertaining" 2009-10-01
By JB Read
The story grabbed my attention from the very start. How easy is it go get yourself in big trouble!

An exciting book that will keep you reading. Great characters.

 "Please do better QC over the formatting" 2009-09-16
By Don (Richmond, VA United States)
I like Finder's books and this one was no exception. However, it is bothersome when the formating is messed up. In many spots, there is a space in the middle of a word or a hyphen, even in the middle of a line. Changing the font size doesn't help either, it's embedded in the ebook.

 "EZ Find" 2010-01-05
By Neil Ferguson (Houston, Texas)
So far the product seems to work great. I currently have set up 5 items that we keep losing and it picks up their signal from at least 30 feet away without any issues. I have also purchased the pet tags to keep track of my cat in case it darts out the door.

 "low battery" 2009-12-28
By K. Cunningham
I bought this for my husband who is always losing his wallet or pager or cell phone or something else. I tried to set this up on three different occasions. Always getting the low battery message after turning it on. I tried fully charged rechargeable batteries the first two times I tried to set it up. I tried regular AAA batteries on the third attempt. Why would I use a product to help find things when it won't even let me set it up.

I don't know why it doesn't like rechargeable batteries.

The disks that come with it are great for keys or pagers.Not wallets. They are too thick for a wallet. And you would have to use adhesive tape on your cell phone. yikes!

I fell I got had on this product. I would not recommend it to anyone. I am rather disappointed.

 "Great Item" 2009-12-16
By Joel Kesselman
The item works really well and is very useful. I am extremely happy I purchased it as it has assisted me in being able to not lose my keys again in my house!!! Great customer service and outstanding follow-thru with delivery!! Highly recommend!!!!

 "Easy Finder" 2009-11-04
By Sita De Leeuw (Stanford,, Ca USA)
This item didn't work and we had to return it. Too bad!1 Theoretically it's a good idea. Maybe we'll find another one by a different company.We put it on our cat and it either didn't ring, or it rang all by itself without pushing the button.(our cat hides when a stranger comes in the door.)

 "Just awful!!!" 2009-10-11
By Benford O. Nance Jr.
More expensive doesn't mean better, and I learned the hard way. This product is designed very poorly. The lock that holds the battery in place is spring-loaded so the battery keeps popping out. The transmitter is made of very cheap plastic and is easily damaged. I purchase another one for a lot less and I am very happy with the results. Don't buy this unless you are willing to spend more money for one to find the transmitter because it doesn't work.

 "Solid Attempt" 2010-01-30
By bluzkat (Philadelphia, PA)
Have to agree with the Publishers Weekly review. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. This faint praise is particularly poignant because all of his previous books were fabulous. I saw the ending coming a mile away. Also, I listened to the audio book version. The reader's voices were really, really, really annoying. Nick Heller's voice was okay, but his SIL and nephew whined their way through the entire book. And it was hard to tell which was which. The voices were almost identical. Everytime they came on, I cringed, and they are on almost every track. So, if you are inclined to read this book, pick up the hardback or paperback. Leave the audio edition on the shelf.



This was the first in a series of books about Nick Heller. Let's hope in the future stories that Finder reestablishes the intrigue, complex characters and psychological thrills that he exhibited in his previous works.

 "book review" 2010-01-21
By D. Johnson (Chicago)
I really enjoy this author, I have read all his books.

action and adventure!fast pace!

 "Great Read!" 2010-01-19
By M. Johnson (Georgia)
This book was terrific; a definite page-turner. I enjoyed Nick Heller's swagger, intelligence, comedic flair, and analytical mind. This story could easily appear in a Hollywood movie; move over Jason Bourne. Thanks, J. Finder, for all the twists and turns you presented in this novel. I'll be back for more!

 "good but not his best......" 2010-01-06
By BeachReader (Delaware)
A quick and compelling read from first page to last. Some of the business talk left me glassy-eyed (I wonder if all the detail was really necessary) and there were a few mistakes (a woman whose body was totally wrapped up in duct tape had defensive wounds on her hands -- no way!) Some details the reader just has to let slide because they strain credibility. The only character I liked or cared about was Nick, which is a flaw in my opinion. But otherwise, it was a good thriller that kept me guessing.

 "A new enjoyable series" 2010-01-05
By rry007 (Raleigh, N.C)
I picked up this book on a whim and found that I loved it. Roger Heller and his wife, Lauren, are out on date night when both are attacked. Lauren was in a coma for 24 hours, and when she regains consciousness, is in the hospital wondering what happened. Roger, however, has simply disappeared. Their 14 year old son, Gabe, has no idea what to do, and so turns to the one person he trusts to help out his family; his uncle Nick.



Nick Heller and Roger used to be best friends growing up. Their father, the notorious Victor Heller, used to be a billionaire, but was now rotting away in prison on charges or insider trading and securities fraud. Ever since his imprisonment, Roger and Nick have been estranged. Now, Nick must drop everything to find his brother.



Nick is a very likeable character; he is caring, smart, and witty. The more he uncovers, the more confused he gets, and he realizes that things aren't always as they seem. If you like action and intrigue, this is a great book. The surprises are great, and I have to say that I did not see the end coming at all.
