Editorial Review of The Camel Club
Conspiracy theories--everybody has one. The difference with this conspiracy is that it's all too real.

Review Summary: Really enjoyed this one...
Review: Really enjoyed this book and I am placing orders for the next 2 that follow. This was the first "serious" book that I have read in years (since college) and I must say it was great. I endured a few late nights as I didn't want to put the book down. I just finished the book and I am sad that I don't have the next one to start reading right away.

Review Summary: The Camel Club is cool!
Review: The Camel Club is cool. They're an odd group of conspiracy theorists, led by Oliver Stone, on a quest for the truth.
Baldacci weaves quite a tale that keeps your attention and is full of twists and turns.
I thought this was a great mystery thriller with a bunch of interesting characters.
This is the first Camel Club novel. The second is The Collectors and the third is Stone Cold.

Review Summary: Good Read - Recommended
Review: The overall low rating of 3 stars has motivated to do my part to bump the ranking up. The Camel Club is a compelling and enjoyable read. I finished and immediately ordered the next book in this series.

Review Summary: Another Baldacci Winner!!!
Review: I became a David Baldacci fan while reading The Winner. I don't remember what caused me to pick it up. I'd never read him before, and I guess I was looking for new authors. It didn't take me long to realize that this was a master story teller. I savored that book as one might savor a fine wine.
The Camel Club is another edge of your seat tale that takes the twists and turns that Baldacci weaves into the story so cleverly. He does something new this time, at least from the books I've read. He reveals some of the villains early in the story; he just doesn't reveal what they are planning to do. The concept is a fun change in his story telling.

Review Summary: Enjoyable thriller if you can ignore the talking points
Review: This is my first Baldacci read, and Camel Club was enjoyable enough to pick up more of his books. One of my favorite genres is the political/espionage/thriller, and this has a good balance of technical info, action, and character development. You do engage with the characters and that allows you to get past some of the wordy or improbable parts.
Unfortunately this book suffers from a common fault of many writers in that Baldacci rolls out a lot of the worn out political talking points for texture rather than actually creating real back story. One character is angry because his army unit was decimated by Agent Orange; another character loved "Ronnie" Reagan but thought Jimmy Carter was the best president ever; the American invasion of Iraq turned Baghdad into a "constant fireball," etc.
Just skip over the political commercials and you will enjoy this book. It's a great beach read.
