At Smarter.com, we aim to ensure we give you the most sound buying advice possible. With our 'Cumulative Product Rating' system, in order for a product to receive a rating score, it must have a minimum number of ratings to qualify.
This system is not intended to diminish the value of products with a low number of ratings and reviews, they're great, and hopefully very helpful, but if you want our advice, we want to make sure that the product you're thinking of buying has been rated and reviewed by enough shoppers like you to be a valuable indicator of product quality.

Really Awful
So many things in this book just don't make sense. Michelle ties a rope around her ankle while swimming attached to a kayak, rescues a drowning "Viggie" and then kicks the rope loose? How? Give me a break,this book was mailed in and not worth the...

Top notch author hits another home run.
David Baldacci's Simple Genius is my kind of book. It has action, it holds your interest, and the author keeps you on your toes with several major plot twists. You really don't know until the end, who the good guys and the bad guys are. His...

Simple Genius - awesome
This is the first book of David Baldacci's I have read. It has been mostly on planes and in airports, but it is a great travel book! It is fun, easy to pick up and put down, but I wasn't very interested in putting it down. It was really fun. I...

Empty, Trite, Predictable, Light
Who's the Simple Genius? I don't know. What does this book have to do with codes? Nothing. CIA, NSA? Nothing. Like so many recent books, this is just another that teases about quantum physics, cryptanalysts, and historical intrigue about...

simplistic
It is hard to believe that this book was written by the same author as the Camel Club series. The writing is simplistic as is the plot. The books before this one were the kind that are hard to put down. This one is hard to keep reading. There is...

Just average...
After recently reading "The Collectors" and "Stone Cold," I was really looking forward to this one by a brilliant and captivating writer. However, "Simple Genius" just didn't live up to Baldacci's potential. The book felt rushed and he definitely...

Like Thin Cardboard
This is a terrible book. The characters are flat -- Sean King, the rugged ex-Fed who loves too much; Michelle Maxwell, the psychologically bruised ninja babe; Horatio, the psychologist lovechild of David Crosby and Doctor Phil; and Viggie the...

Not worth the NYT #1 bestseller rating
I picked up this book at the airport before a vacation based on the NYT #1 rating and the fact that it seemed like a novel with some substance based on the title and the jacket notes.

Baldacci at his averagest
The comfort with reading a David Baldacci book is his relatively predictable output. He never puts out any really great stuff, but he is typically able to avoid sub-par material as well. In Amazon rating terms, he is a three-to-four star author....
