Er arbeitet in einer grossen Bostoner Treuhandgesellschaft und lebt in Winchester, MassachusettsRezensionen:Rob Kean is a master of suspense. Even the most minute details will keep you spellbound as the author does not divulge anything without having you read more.This was one of the best books I've read in awhile. I even took the book to school, gave my kids an assignment, and continued to read.I'm not usually enamored with books about collegiate shenanigans, being long past that age myself, but this book kept me riveted. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys reading about mystery, abuse of power, and a fast paced - can't put it down story line.===I was most impressed reading Rob Kean's book, "The Pledge." The storyline flowed remarkably well, and I found myself unable to put the book down. In fact, it took me two sittings to finish, the second one of which ended at 5:15am one Saturday night/Sunday morning. The characters are well developed, and I found myself laughing (yes, out loud) at their mishaps, cheering their triumphs, and scowling at their foolishness. I highly recommend this book to those in college (for its relevance) as well as for suspense lovers of all ages who enjoy a good read.===Wow!!!Obwohl man von anfang an weiss, wer die "Bösen" sind, ist die Spannung, wie und ob sie letztendlich erledigt werden, nicht auszuhalten. Detailliert geschrieben ohne zu langweilen oder zu viel zu veraten, mit unerwarteten Wendungen und einem Spannungsbogen, der immer höher steigt, ist dieses Buch auf jeden Fall 5 Sterne wert! Ein tolles Erstlingswerk das auf mehr hoffen lässt. Auf Englisch nur zu empfehlen für Leute, die einen sicheren Umgang mit der Sprache haben.===Simply written, with the pace of a James Patterson, the story line of a Sydney Sheldon and the plot of a Pat Conroy (Lords of Discipline) - this book held my attention for the three nights it took me to read it. Though reviewers seem to worry about whether it could happen or not, I'm thinking "who cares?" It's a good read, there are NO slow parts, and Mark Jessy is a hero, a la Will McClean of Conroy fame. Good for you Rob Kean, good for you. I eagerly await your next syllable.===Great read! If you are looking for a page turner for the summer holiday this is the one. Yes, as some have mentioned the story line is a bit sensational at times, but isn't this true of most action/suspense novels? The story was gripping and certainly one we can all relate to at some level. I couldn't put this one down.Great first novel===This book kept me on the edge of my seat. I couldn't have predicted it if I tried. It is well written, and well thought out. I can hardly wait until the next one is on the shelves. Mr. Kean is obviously an insightful and talented writer.===I devoured my fingernails, laughed out loud, and even had to dab a tear or two! Rob Kean's ability to evoke so many emotions may be unprecendented among first-time authors. Sure to inspire some unhappiness among short-sighted "brothers," it really shouldn't offend fraternity boys any more than the work of Thomas Harris angers doctors or caucasians. And this former Greek finds it every bit as compelling as Harris' "Silence of the Lambs."===I loved this book and literally could not put it down. In fact, I woke early one Saturday [5:00 A.m.] and didn't get out of bed till I'd turned the last page at noon. Shawn Jakes is no more of a fantasy than James Bond, and I'm looking for a sequel.------------------Der Versand erfolgt meistens am Tag des Geldeinganges.Sofort lieferbar. Nichtraucherwohnung.

0446608483 From Publishers Weekly First novelist Kean's overlong tale of a pervasive, sinister college fraternity fails to thrill, and offers few other virtues. When freshman pledge Chad Ewing is found bloodied and dying after a hazing party for Sigma, the most prestigious frat on the campus of Maine's Simsbury College, scandal threatens the unsullied reputation of the elite school. Kean's hero, Mark JessyAa Simsbury senior, a former Sigma, a Native American and an all-American lacrosse starAlives under a cloud: accused of date rape two years before, Mark had escaped expulsion, but was forced to disaffiliate from his fraternity. Moreover (in a "punishment" no more implausible than Kean's other plot twists), Mark was named to serve on the college's student disciplinary tribunal, the D-Squad. Now Ewing's death threatens to bring Sigma's leaders before the D-Squad, charged with a fatal hazing, but penalties against the fraternity might expose Sigma's conspiracy of powerful, rich alumni, which even controls the FBI. The unscrupulous dean attempts an elaborate coverup, but the loose ends refuse to stay concealed. As a former Sigma brother himself, Mark could help prove the frat's crimesAif he discovers them, which Sigma isn't about to let him do. Mark's girlfriend and fellow D-Squad member, lovely blonde ski-champion Shawn Jakes, must convince him to help her investigate. As their fears of discovery escalate, Sigma's partisans resort to violence, and a narrative that began with a campus imbroglio ends with a string of combats and hot pursuits. Kean, a 28-year-old former frat brother at Bowdoin College in Maine, loses control of his narrative as it moves forward, letting subplots proliferate. Between the treatment of trumped-up date-rape charges and the running jokes at the expense of the Simsbury Women's Association, a group of caricatured females with a strident antimale agenda, readers familiar with the campus debates on which Kean's story draws may find him less antifrat than antifeminist. Only the gossipy sketches of collegiate life make this disjointed, clich?-ridden novel somewhat entertaining. (Aug.)
