 His Worst? September 16, 2008
I've read quite a few of Sanford's novels and have enjoyed them all.
I don't know what happened here. I have to rate it as one of the worst novels I have ever read. I was temped a few times to just stop. But I wanted to see if I got any better as it progressed.
It didn't. I am amazed at how some readers gave it even 4 stars.
Don't waste your time on this one.
 I'm being generous giving this book 2 stars September 1, 2008

I gave this book 2 stars because I just finished "The Run" which was much worse.
 Kidd novel is a fun adventure August 24, 2006

The Devil's Code is the second Kidd book I've read by John Sandford after reading the Hanged Man's Song. There are only four in this series of a part time artist/part time computer hacker, and I've read the last two. The Devil's Code is a fun book, where the differences in Sandford mainstay Lucas Davenport and artist Kidd are more fleshed out. Kidd is a funny guy who enjoys his life and his relationship with LuEllen. LuEllen is a thief who likes golf and cocaine and can help Kidd out with the dirty work that he isn't quite used too.
In the Devil's Code, a fellow hacker is killed and his sister comes to Kidd for help. Kidd begins to look into it and finds out that the hacker, named Standford, was researching AmMeth. Meanwhile, the US government is after a group of terrorist hackers named Firewall. The members of firewall include Kidd. There's only one problem, Kidd is on the list of terrorists and Kidd knows that isn't true. Someone must be setting him up.
In Davenport novels, Sandford spends a fair amout of time with the villian, giving the readers all the gory details of his methods. In the Devil's Code, St. John Corbeil is the villain and we get to meet him be he isn't given the center stage in this novel. There are a lot of twists and turns as Kidd and LuEllen run around the country trying to discover what's going on and also not leave any tracks for the authorities. There isn't much cat and mouse like in the Davenport novels, but there is a sense of fun, even when things get violent.
I'll move on to the first two books in the series, which by now are seriously outdated. And I hope there may be another Kidd novel in the series coming soon.

I am a good fan of John Sandford. I liked this book by him as well. He keeps you interested. There are no slow starts as he gets right to the action. I do prefer his Prey series but these others didn't dissapoint me.
I don't usually like books, but May 24, 2006

It started when I was housitting at my buddy's condo and the power went out during the superbowl. WTF? I had nothing to do and all I could find was one flashlight. On his coffee table I saw a copy of Devil's Code and once I picked it up I could not put it down. This book is far from what you think it is, but everything that you hope it will be! I would compare it most to watching a really good Russel Crowe or Brude Willis movie, but with powerful and exciting thoughts and situations instead of explosions! Forget all those other "code" book out there. Now this book REALLY changed the way I think about what goes on in government. Something tells me that they're not telling us everying that is going on. You'll never look at life the same again. Now I'm usually a slow reader, but the amount of action that takes place in this book is increadible. To think about the fact that a guy could jump out of an air plane and his parachute could not work and he could still live is increadible.
