Official Review: The Date Farm by jack winnick

This sounds like a suspenseful thriller. I like that the main characters seem realistic. The story of romantically involved agents fighting terrorism sounds intriguing. This was a thorough and well-written review

Sometimes it takes such stories to unravel the sad realities of our time, especially terrorism. Thank you, Cecilia, for writing such a wonderful review.

Having not read the previous books in the series, I'm glad this book can be read as a stand alone novel. This fast paced, history influenced novel sounds remarkable and I will surely check it out!

I read the opening pages of this one where the mall scene is depicted. It sounds like from your review that the author keeps up the intensity throughout this novel as the plot unfolds. It’s good to know that this one can be read without having read the others. I’m not sure I can handle the violence at this time, though. Thanks for the great insight on this one.

Interesting to see it that it has some semblance to real events. Aside the entertaining aspects which i suspect would be a classic, I hope we can also learn a thing or two about how to be cautious and deal with the ever increasing terror threats in our world.
Nice review too!

Well here is my second comment on Cecilia_L's review. My fault: I think I should have also confirmed the posting for it to appear.
Anyway, it is a review of my liking, as I was saying before. It is so because it confirms my feelings while reading the sample of the book.
The reviewer covers all moves of a good review, the summary does not reveal too much and the characters are presented so as the potential reader already likes them when he or she starts actually reading the book.
The reviewer emphasises the fact that although it is the fourth book of the series, references to previous actions of the spies do interfere in the understanding of the present action.
Thank you!

Sounds like a good mystery. I'm glad it stands on its own, as I haven't read any other book in the series.

While I do like the genre, I do not care for stories involving terrorism, so I'm afraid I pass on reading this one. Thanks for the review, just the same.

Sounds like an action-packed read. I hadn't heard of the other books in the series but will be interested to check this one out.

The Date Farm by Jack Winnick.

A romantic thriller is a book I would love to read. I like how it mentions that there are ties to past historical events and I believe that would make me relate to the story. Thanks for the review.

Great reveiw, thanks. The sample was enjoyable, I would definitely like to read the book. Uri and Lara are a good team.

I would prefer watching a movie based on this book than reading it. I am glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for the wonderful review.

This is typically not a genre I’m drawn toward, but I do love TV shows of a similar caliber. I’m interested to know more and am definitely putting in on my to-read list.

You certainly have given this book a glowing recommendation. However, purely based on the content I’ll probably give it a miss, just because spy thriller and stories on terrorism don’t really appeal to me. Thank you for your review though, which was very well handled.
