This was a very good book. Maybe not my style but the book was on the Best Seller List for 130 week+. I read it in 11 days.

TimBondy@bookwyrm.social reviewed The 6:20 Man by David Baldacci
Review of 'The 6:20 Man' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
It took 13 days to read this book. "The 6:20 Man" by David Baldacci that was published in 2022 gets only 3 stars out of 5 from me. It was groundhog day with the main character taking a train, day in and day out. It got too predictable. If you have a book that you've been wanting to read, read that book and leave "The 6:20 Man" for when you got nothing better to read. It was an easy and monotonous read.

Review of 'The River' on 'Goodreads'

I was sorely disappointed by this book. The whole premise of the book interests me greatly so I figured I would enjoy it. I didn't.
Even with very few characters in the novel, the author didn't do a good job developing some of them.
The author included too many "flashbacks" in the book and some didn't seem necessary.
I rated it a 3 star but I'm being generous with that rating.

This is a very good book with excellent character development. The storyline is plausible and so are the characters. Note: The author uses adult words, not swear words. In other words, I used the dictionary probably 25 times while reading this book.
You should think about reading this trilogy

The book dove a little too deep into the fantasy genre for me. I read 208 pages of it until I gave up. I'm just not into that genre but the book was well written up to the point that I quit.

This was a good book and I plan on reading the trilogy. Understand this is an "adult book" in that the author uses words not normally used in fiction. I read this on an ebook reader and used the "definition" feature of the app quite often. It will expand the normal reader's vocabulary in my opinion.
The author also uses a lot of acronyms that challenged my memory a little too often. Matthews could spell out these acronyms more often.
