 Great Book November 18, 2008
I bought this book for my son for Christmas. He will love it. He collects all the Prey books by Sanford.
 Thump Your Chest - Grab Female November 4, 2008
Lucas is a living breathing cliche, but at least he shoves it in your face and makes you like it. He takes the law into his own hands and isn't afraid to score chicks while he does it. Sound chest bumping and sexist? Well, it is. But for some reason, you forgive Davenport and cheer for him.
I picked this book up to learn more about the Twin Cities. Sanford delivered on his lifelong relationship with the community and gave me what I wanted.
The technical jargon was smothered on a little thick, but I'm sure cop geeks will love it. The serial killer was the most interesting character to me. I haven't pulled the trigger on any of Sanford's other books yet. The second in the series doesn't grab me with its premise, and I hate to move forward without reading it. That being said, I'm not willing to give up on Sanford. This book was about what I expected, but delivered above par.
Great start August 19, 2008

I got started on this series by reading a couple volumes that have been released in the last three years or so. I decided to go back to the beginning and see how Davenport started out.
It was nice to see where the money came from and that he began as a tough guy. As with the other books I've read, I'm not wild about his main girlfriend/wife. The game development detail adds a lot to the character and how he works.
The hunt for the maddog kept me hooked. There's nothing quite like the take-down of an obnoxious jerk, for a satisfying read.
Excellent book! June 23, 2008

Very good book, the start of the Prey series. Once you start you can't put it down. You'll want to read all the Prey books after this one!
Poorly written in parts, gets good when story picks up April 28, 2008

This book shows that, in his years as a journalist, John Sandford learned a lot about the relationship between police and the media. Unfortunately, the story is lacking at times, and the reader has to slog through lengthy portions of procedure talk - the book ends up with a lot of dialogue-heavy scenes that may sound impressive and official, but the story stands still. That said, at times when the plot picks up, it's much more enjoyable. Didn't get much out of the computer game subplot. Unnecessary character over-development. Really liked the ending. Clever writing.
