3.0 out of 5 stars The redemption of Peter Hale, Feb 15 2008
By Pierre Lapointe "www.maclap.biz" (Vancouver, BC) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This is a story of the redemption of Peter Hale who changes from rich spoiled son, mediocre lawyer to a dedicated defender of justice. Though the story is not very original, its execution is very good. The characters are well defined and their behaviour is consistent with the attributes the author gives them. The story flows well and keeps you entertained. A good who done it for a few hours of relaxed reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic ! Great audiobook !!!!!!!!!!, Nov 9 2003
This review is from: The Burning Man (Audio Cassette)
This is one of the best audiobooks I have ever listened to. It had characters that kept my interest. The storyline was fast paced and never boring. The reader was superb. I highly recommend. I will listen to this more than once. This book is a keeper in my book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A capitivating mystery, July 8 2003
This review is from: The Burning Man (Mass Market Paperback)
Young and arrogrant, Peter Hale was sent to a back-woods town for a lesson in humility after fumbling a major case for his father. Driven from his life of priviledge where nothing but the finest would do ~~ Peter takes on another case and this time, learns a lesson about human nature. He took on a case of a mentally-retarded man who is accused of killing a young college co-ed. This same man was also caught just a few weeks prior as a peeping tom at the local college. This man is also a brother-in-law of Peter's former college classmate ~~ another reason why Peter took on the case.

This book is full of twists and turns that Margolin is famous for ~~ and his writing captivates your attention from beginning to the end. Margolin shows human nature at its worst and shows it at its best ~~ and though you thought you have it all figured out ~~ he surprises you again. It's a fun and fast legal thriller ~~ perfect for summer reading. I had a blast reading this book and so did everyone who I loaned this book to!

4.0 out of 5 stars The burning man gets burned
Reading a book was usually challenging for me to do, I could never get myself motivated and ready to read a book such as The Burning Man. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars HOT STUFF
One has to admire Margolin's ability to take standard characters and situations and mold them into engrossing, suspenseful thrillers. "The Burning Man" is a good example. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Soft in the middle
This book started out strong, and even finished with some unexpected punch, but the vast majority of the middle of the story left me somewhat unattached to the storyline. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Kept me reading into the night!
This was the first time that I read a Margolin book and I couldn't put it down. It was a refreshing change that encorperated leagal ease and social injustice.

4.0 out of 5 stars A MUST READ LEGAL THRILLER!!!
I have read other Margolin books but this one is the best I have read. It started a little slow and the main character, Peter Hale, made mistakes a lawyer should not make... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars AN AWESOME COURT ROOM THRILLER!!!
This was definitely one of the most complex Phillip Margolin novels, but it was one of the best. A poor retarded man is on trial for the murder of a college coed. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Still Searching
I am still searching for an author who can take over this genre. Phillip Margolin's "Burning Man" fell way short of expectation. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars _Burning_ toast with pat of Margolin
It is, perhaps, unfair to comment on a book after reading but one chapter of it. But after completing the first chapter, I found I could read no more. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Trite and predictable
Been there, done that. You've heard this story a zillion times. It's unoriginal, and you can figure out who the killer is less than half way through. Read more
