Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. I have been looking for a new series to begin reading. This one sounded interesting, so I gave it a try. I am sorry to say, it was boring and not especially well written. Also, Caroline keeps referring to this horrible and dark place she had found on the Internet and how it was so wrong and evil of her to go there - and then we never find out what it was!! So annoying. I finished it, but skimmed pages near the end. I will not be reading book #2. Tech? Hacking? Good story, enjoyable plot and strong female character. What really drew my initial interest in this bin was the hacking twist eluded to in the summary. Sadly the biggest thing she does during the book is Google searches and a little social engineering. The stuff I was hoping to read about is eluded to in the epilogue. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

Caroline is fresh out of law school and has been recruited to work with Louis Stern who also happened to be her professor at UCLA. While being a very smart student in her law class, she has the rare distinction of also being a software engineer. She has also shown the unique ability to hack into institutional data in the past which had landed her dad into trouble.
I wasn't disappointed in the least with my decision to try out this book. The story grips you from page 1 and there is a constant underlying tension throughout the book. At times I was also reminded of a Hollywood movie (Michael Clayton) which is based on a similar premise. The parts of the story dealing with her past are also well edited to include only the most important elements.
My only reservation with this book was the "Hollywood" feel to it. ****spoiler alert**** Being a rookie lawyer, Caroline hardly showed any characteristics of one. Given that she had moments of self doubt and panic attacks, she was still virtually untouchable. Also, I felt that the ending climax was a bit forced considering that the reason cited by Caroline for hiring her was that Louis deliberately hired her and set her up on this case for certain failure. I wonder why Louis didn't hire any other mediocre student if he actually wanted that? ****spoiler alert ends****
Overall, I would still recommend this book as a good legal thriller with a touch of unpredictability. ( )
