Review - Inner Circle

In an attempt to try and sleep last night, I finished Inner Circle by Brad Meltzer.

The book really picked up speed about half way through. But I was not sure I would make it. Nevertheless I enjoyed it. It had a good plot, one that was not very predictable. The only thing that bothered me was when the booked jumped in and out of the first person narrative. It was a little awkward. Otherwise, a good book.

Description from Goodreads: "There are stories no one knows. Hidden stories. I love those stories. And since I work in the National Archives, I find those stories for a living." So says Benjamin January, a young archivist who spends his days working with the most important documents of the U.S. government. When Clementine Kaye, his first childhood crush, shows up at the Archives asking for his help tracking down her long-lost father, Benjy tries to impress her by showing her the secret vault where the President of the United States privately reviews classified documents. It is also where Benjy and Clementine accidentally happen upon a priceless artifact-a 200-year-old dictionary that once belonged to George Washington-hidden inside a desk chair. Eager to discover why the President is hiding this important national treasure, the two soon find themselves entangled in a web of deception, conspiracy, and murder that will reveal the most well kept secret of the U.S. Presidency.

The description is probably better written than the book, but it was still okay reading. Since I do not have enough big books to read, I've started on Tom Clancy's Dead or Alive. I'll report on finishing it around December. I'm also listening to The Confession by John Grisham. So far, so good.
