5.0 out of 5 stars My first Coonts but certainly not the last!, Jun 23 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: CUBA (Hardcover)
As I was browsing a local book store back in April, looking for some reading material to take along on a trip south, the title CUBA jumped out at me from the shelf. As my destination was, in fact, Cuba (I'm a Canadian), I picked up the book without further investigation, believing there is no such thing as "coincidence" and whatever happens, happens for a reason -- see "A Road Less Travelled". It turned out to be the right move. Cuba is a highly entertaining piece of fiction, mixed with a satisfying amount of non-fiction, resulting in a "good read". The situations in the book are neither implausible nor improbable, particularly in view of past and current world happenings, while still providing escape. I fell into and throughly enjoyed the book and would recommend it to anyone who likes adventure, suspense and action, with a touch of reality. And, I must confess, it was even more enjoyable when being read only a relatively short distance from where it all "happened". I'm going on to the other Coonts efforts.

4.0 out of 5 stars "Good not Great !", Nov 20 2002
This review is from: CUBA (Hardcover)
I thought "Cuba," by Stephen Coonts was a good story (not great) but still interesting enough. Military action meets political fiction. I did like the characters and the suspense.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nothing special, an average thriller, Jun 23 2002
By Tyler Scott Ritchie "tybear05" (Madison, WI USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Cuba (Mass Market Paperback)
I have never read a Jake Grafton novel before this, and I don't think I will any time soon. This book is roughly as original and clever as it's title and moves along at a snail's pace. However, the international issues relating to Fidel Castro are definitely entertaining. Without a doubt the weakest character in this story is Grafton. His supporting cast, though they have laugh-out-loud names like Toad Tarkington and Tater Totten, are much more interesting and might deserve a novel or two of their own. This book is nothing out of the ordinary and pretty much defines average. I rounded up from 2.5 stars because Coonts seems like he could do better than this with a little prodding.

4.0 out of 5 stars Slow start, but improves.
"Cuba" gets off to a slow start, and threatens to lose its way every now and then, but is overall pretty good. Not the best in the series, not the worst either.

2.0 out of 5 stars Only an average thriller.
While entertaining, this book is very predictible. There aren't any surprises, so you are left with Coontz's description of events to entertain you. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Average at best
At times the book has promise. The author did some research for his novel but he never seemed to make up his mind what kind of story he wished to offer the reader. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Not up to par like Under siege but still good.
Unlike Under Siege the best book this author wrote and the best situations that his character was in. This time a great but not superior story!
