I actually managed to buy this book twice。I could say I did that because I enjoyed it so much 。。。。。Managed to buy the book from a supermarket and a week later visited a secondhand book shop where they had an unread proof copy。 I did not have my book list with me and I'd forgotten I recently purchased the same book。The new supermarket copy was donated to the local library and I read the proof copy。Enjoyed the ending of the book but found the middle part a bit of a slog I'm afraid。And lesson learn I actually managed to buy this book twice。I could say I did that because I enjoyed it so much 。。。。。Managed to buy the book from a supermarket and a week later visited a secondhand book shop where they had an unread proof copy。 I did not have my book list with me and I'd forgotten I recently purchased the same book。The new supermarket copy was donated to the local library and I read the proof copy。Enjoyed the ending of the book but found the middle part a bit of a slog I'm afraid。And lesson learnt。 Do not visit bookshops without your book list。 。。。more

It may be I have reached my quota of Baldacci novels。 Needed to grab a couple of books for some weekend reading and found “The Innocent”， the first of a series that I have two subsequent books already。 Added “The 6:20 Man” at the last second and started it when I got home。 Super-fast read for a speedy reader to begin with。 It did keep me entertained and， knowing Baldacci， it was clear that the murderer was not who you were directed to assume。 Several reviews point to the injection of a “woke” cu It may be I have reached my quota of Baldacci novels。 Needed to grab a couple of books for some weekend reading and found “The Innocent”， the first of a series that I have two subsequent books already。 Added “The 6:20 Man” at the last second and started it when I got home。 Super-fast read for a speedy reader to begin with。 It did keep me entertained and， knowing Baldacci， it was clear that the murderer was not who you were directed to assume。 Several reviews point to the injection of a “woke” culture and that is evident in this book。 However， like many of the newer mainstream offerings doing the same， it comes off as pandering to toss in a quick statement or giving a brief character a lifestyle and commentary without clear context。 It is like the authors want to check a box， not adding anything effective to the conversation。 A very generous 2 stars， but only because I did not give up on it。 But maybe Baldacci fatigue is setting in。 。。。more

3。5This was my first book by David Baldacci。 I enjoyed it and found myself liking the main character Travis Devine。 The plot was fast paced and kept me entertained。 I did find it a little confusing at points though trying to keep up with characters and plot etc。 The same character being referred to by their first name and their surname in the same paragraph didn’t help！ I also found the ending a little far fetched but didn’t see it coming！ Would I read another by this author？ I probably would ye 3。5This was my first book by David Baldacci。 I enjoyed it and found myself liking the main character Travis Devine。 The plot was fast paced and kept me entertained。 I did find it a little confusing at points though trying to keep up with characters and plot etc。 The same character being referred to by their first name and their surname in the same paragraph didn’t help！ I also found the ending a little far fetched but didn’t see it coming！ Would I read another by this author？ I probably would yes！ 。。。more

A page-turning murder mystery with some international financial intrigue thrown in。 I wasn't fond of the combat parts， but I enjoyed the characters and the flawed nature of the hero。 A page-turning murder mystery with some international financial intrigue thrown in。 I wasn't fond of the combat parts， but I enjoyed the characters and the flawed nature of the hero。 。。。more

Another fun hit from Baldacci。 Larger than life， former Army Ranger， Travis takes on big-time bad guys reluctantly at first。 His position as a financial analyst after a successful career as a Ranger will make this another great series。

Fantastic book。 First time reading a book from David Baldacci and very keen on reading his others ones too。 Love the twists。 Would have read it quicker but work all day so only had lunch breaks and evenings to read。

Looking forward to discussing this book with my book club this month。 My first read by this author。 Well written and action packed which I enjoyed。 There were a lot of characters to keep straight but I believe that was the author’s intention to keep the reader guessing。 I enjoyed the plot line and the main character and am looking forward to the next book in the series。 The book was 100 pages too long。 I would have enjoyed it much more if it were shorter， some points just dragged on。

Classic Baldacci！Full of twists and turns。 You will never know what will happen next or who to suspect。 You will love the main man， and the array of supporting characters only a genius writer like Baldacci could imagine。

This was a 2。5 that I’m rounding up to a 3 because even though I only kiiiiiind of liked it， I love David Baldacci’s stories and will definitely read the next book in the series。 So it can’t be as bad as I’m making it。6:20 Man had a cool premise and a lot of cool characters， and I’m sure people LOVE this book。 And I see it。 But Travis Divine is a multi-book series main character we’ve met more than once before and the dialogue was a major eye-roll 96% of the time。 As predictable as Divine makes This was a 2。5 that I’m rounding up to a 3 because even though I only kiiiiiind of liked it， I love David Baldacci’s stories and will definitely read the next book in the series。 So it can’t be as bad as I’m making it。6:20 Man had a cool premise and a lot of cool characters， and I’m sure people LOVE this book。 And I see it。 But Travis Divine is a multi-book series main character we’ve met more than once before and the dialogue was a major eye-roll 96% of the time。 As predictable as Divine makes the story feel， I was on my toes and guessing （incorrectly） the entire time。 Every time I would get bored， I’d be wrong about something and get interested again。 I hated it and then I was hooked until the end。 。。。more

Weak ending。 A protagonist who could take on three， then four dangerous men but is imperiled by one girl/woman。 Where was all his military training he talks about for that encounter？

I’m done。 No more Baldacci。 As a reader I think we change over the years。 Twenty years ago I loved this author’s work。 Now I find it predictable and far fetched。 I’m annoyed that I read the whole book when I have quit others that I would have given 3 stars to。 Baldacci can write。 That is evident in his long backlist of books。 He is also popular so the formula work for him just no longer for me。 These days I think my taste runs to a more literary slant。
