Robert Crais's "The First Rule"

I am not going to bore you with the inside of the book jacket synopsis. All one needs to know and understand is that this is a Joe Pike vehicle and Elvis Cole is along for the ride; nuff said. "The First Rule", you should read this book posthaste, make all haste to get this in your hands and indulge yourself. I was not raised too smooch gluteus maximus, but I must say if Mr. Crais is reading this, I am a big fan of your work. The characters are memorable, and the interplay engaging. The speed of the story, turbo! Suggestion for you when you grab this book, don't plan on doing anything for awhile. It grabs you and is hard to put down.
One must enjoy a story with the Russians; excuse me, the Serbs as the bad guys. The camaraderie of Pike and company, the dedication to each other that these so called characters of morally questionable behavior is to be enjoyed. "One of my guys" is spoken throughout, in addition to, honor, integrity and allegiance above personal gain and keeping the scales of justice in place.
The haters out there can't wrap their heads around the fact that if they had five dollars and Joe Pike had five dollars, he would have more money than they had. Many can’t fathom the fact that Pike can punch a Cyclops between the eye. The other critics are claiming that Joe Pike is to perfect a character, tsk, tsk, tsk. Please get over yourselves; it's a book. It's enjoyable and entertaining.
I strongly suggest reading Robert Crais's work. I have read all his books and have not found one too weak or unworthy of my time. Joe Pike and Elvis Cole are strong characters with a great cast around them. Crais crafts good storylines with basic themes. The beginning, middle and end are all strong. The human condition and plenty of humor awaits you. Robert Crais has a nice website; give it a try. Enjoy; see you soon. I look forward to hearing from you.
