The 500 Book Reviews
The 500 by Matthew Quirk Book Summary
A gripping thriller debut, set deep in the heart of the world's most powerful political arena.
A year ago, fresh out of Harvard Law School, Mike Ford landed his dream job at the Davies Group, Washington's most powerful consulting firm. Now, he's staring down the barrel of a gun, pursued by two of the world's most dangerous men. To get out, he'll have to do all the things he thought he'd never do again: lie, cheat, steal -- and this time, maybe even kill.
Mike grew up in a world of small-stakes con men, learning lessons at his father's knee. His hard-won success in college and law school was his ticket out. As the Davies Group's rising star, he rubs shoulders with "The 500," the elite men and women who really run Washington -- and the world. But peddling influence, he soon learns, is familiar work: even with a pedigree, a con is still a con.
Combining the best elements of political intrigue and heart-stopping action, The 500 is an explosive debut, one that calls to mind classic thrillers like The Firm and Presumed Innocent. In Mike Ford, readers will discover a new hero who learns that the higher the climb, the harder -- and deadlier -- the fall.

The 500. Fast moving intrigue and folksy narrative. Our nation's secrets fictionalized but a sense of reality and helplessness that hits home today. Enjoyed...enjoyed.
The 500. For his first novel, the author drives an action packed narrative throughout the storyline. There is a little of "The Firm" imbedded in the characters. Parallels are easy to see but there is enough separation that this novel stands on it's own merits.
The 500. Stayed up until 3 AM because I had to finish it. A really good read and, what I hope, is really good fiction.
A unexpected page turner!. An exposé of what goes in DC! Even if only 10% true, it's disconcerting to the point of nausea. I like the first person Damon Runyon like account of a real "quirky" character in every sense of the word. Can't wait for Mr. Quirk' next book! My first book on iPad. Loved it!
Great first book. This was a good story and great pace. The story was refreshingly new and the action was enough to keep the story going at a great pace. Will definitely read the authors next book.
Fantastic. Great read.
Fun read, but..... Its a fast, fun read, and I genuinely wanted to follow Mike on his journey, but too many times, he just seems stupid. Anyone who's read THE FIRM or any of THE DRAGON TATTOO series will see so many holes. But, overall, it's still an entertaining read.
Amazing. SPECTACULAR PAGE TURNER..... Can't wait for the movie and the sequel. GREAT BOOK!!!
The 500. Couldn't put it down!
Very good book. Sometimes it dragged on but overall great story!!
Worth Another One. 3 Stars. Nice debut. Quirk shows real promise. While a little slow in places, the characters finally started to grow on me in the book’s final third. Enough so that I look forward to reading the second and what seems to be the final Mike Ford book. There are definitely places for him to go. I picked this up after watching The Night Agent. Now TV is introducing authors to me. Usually, it’s the other way around.
Fast moving read. This was a very entertaining book that you will read quickly.
Good book will make a great movie. Good story that moves briskly. Should make a great movie. I like the free preview before the whole book was available.
