Burn Notice: The End Game

A great follow-on

Having read the first book I see that the creativity of the story is still rich. The plot has a complexity that keeps the story moving and unfolding. The narrative of the the main character, Michael Westen, continues to provide rich insight into the character and brings relevance to the situation at hand. His lightly sarcastic tone beautifully highlights the irony of his particular situation and provides great segue to his light-hearted though dark references to his particular thought process that often make me laugh out loud. I can't wait for the next book!

True to form

The book is, of course, written as a story that might be seen on the show. The plot is new and includes the backstory of Michael Westen's past if someone hasn't seen the show. Points that have occured in the show are alluded to as well to bring anyone up to speed in the life of this spy in his hometown after his burn notice. The three main characters provide rich conversation with a sarcastic overtone and not a few very humorous one-liners. Their interactions also serve to deepen the persona of each character. I often laughed out loud when reading this book and if you like the show, I believe you will love the book!

great supplement to the show!

I love burn notice. It is a witty show with action and excitement. I found this book by chance and read it in two days. Michael is the narrator and the author does an outstanding job of capturing the voice of every character. I highly recommend for a fun read. Can't wait for another in the series.

Very Good

I enjoyed the book as much as the show, I love the characters. The chemistry between Fiona and Michael is electrifying. The story line is captivating and full of energy.

Burn Notice The Fix

I picked up this book because I enjoy the television series, and "Burn Notice: The fix" reads just like the show. Everyone is included - Michael, Fiona, Sam and even his mom. Sam gets Michael to take on the case of Cricket O'Conner and her missing husband and fortune. I easily visualized the characters and the situations and therefore zip right through this story. Fans of the show will love it. Non viewers may think it as just an okay story.

Good but some graphic violence

I liked it except for about 2 pages where he described, in way too much detail, what it's like to get shot or hurt in ways that I really didn't want to know about. If this is supposed to be like the show, then it shouldn't get that detailed - it's not pleasant.

The rest of it was well done, the voices of the characters were good.

Characters Welcome (in paperback)

For those of you feeling the burn of the mid-season dolrums, "The End Game" is a perfect filler for all Burnies until Michael Westen resumes his quest to uncover who burned him and how to get back into the organization. The writing is perfectly suited to the TV series, where you can hear Jeffrey Donovan's voice-overs perfectly in your head, as well as capturing the dialogue of Mikey and the other characters perfectly. I am thrilled that USA is allowing allow most of its flagship series to be expanded in book form.

really good

Enjoyed this and the others in the series, can't wait for a new one to appear, or for the show to start up again.

Good but not the best of the series

I'm glad I bought and read the book but it ended up being my least favorite of the series of Burn Notice books. I enjoyed the twists, even though they were somewhat predictable, and I loved that I could hear Michael, Fi and Sam in my head while I read their parts. The author does a great job of writing the way you'd see this story play out on the TV show. What I didn't like was how the Brent character was simply too much of a "stupid teenager" to be believable to me. I think the author went too far with that. Also, in this book the author decided to make the cast all liberal Democrats, blasting Republicans and conservative thoughts are listed as obviously wrong. This is a probably deal-breaker for me. If that trend continues, I'm out. Please don't politicize my favorite characters like that. I don't want them to be hardcore Republicans or Democrats. Leave politics and religion out of this entire story line. Lastly, although the author is usually pretty good at referencing current technology, he lost credibility when the characters used "zip drives full of data". LOL, what is that, like 120MB? Zip drives went out of favor like 10 years ago. I don't even think they're sold anymore. Still worth reading but I'm hoping this isn't an indication that Tod Goldberg is going to use Burn Notice to push a political agenda.

Favorite Burn Notice book yet

My favorite Burn Notice novel yet. Barry and Sugar are always great. The book is full of fun and laughs. Anyone who watches the show should pick up this book and give it a read. I can't wait for the next one.

Great Read

Another winner from Tod Goldberg. Great characters and a complex story line make this a great addition to the Burn Notice library.
