This was the fourth book I read by Nelson DeMille and this all in a 6 months frame. I fell in love with Nelson DeMille as an author when I read his novel Plum Island in June. Since then, I read The General's Daughter as well as Word of Honor and both kept me reading until the wee hours of the morning. When I got to Spenceville, I was captivated with it at the beginning, but as the story went on, I found myself somewhat bored with the all too "predictable" plot. It was still a cute story but a little too "feel-good" ending for me. The characters are easy to identify with but it is hard to create any real "attachement" to them because of their "whishy-washyness". This is not to mean that I hated the book and do not recommend it to anyone but simply that if you too are a DeMille fan, you may not want to keep this one for last. It is really light and an easy read.
