5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic. Something in it for readers of many genres., July 21 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Monsoon (Paperback)

This book picks up well after Birds of Prey, and takes the reader on a roller-coaster of emotions as Smith seamlessly blends romance, adventure, intrigue, and drama in an epic story that is very hard to put down. Simply Fantastic! I can't wait to start on Blue Horizon and continue the excellent saga.

5.0 out of 5 stars Too good for words, Jun 17 2003

This review is from: Monsoon (Courtney Family Adventures) (Mass Market Paperback)

Simply put, this book is excellent. After reading the previous book, Bird of Prey, I had a good background knowledge of some of the characters and the world in which it is set. The characters are brilliant, so are the plots, the adventures, the intrigue, the love triangles.... the list goes on and on. If ever a book deserved 5 stars, this is the one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb, a triumph for Smith., Nov 21 2002

"chimara27" (Southeast USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Monsoon (Courtney Family Adventures) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is the ultimate escapist read. Wilbur Smith takes the reader from wealthy English life in the 17th century, to the intrigues of the sultan of Zanzibar. Full of good old fashioned swashbuckling action, more action, and the requisite guy meets girl, kills many for girl relationship. Most of Smith's character's are fairly one sided, but this book portrayed many interesting character relationships. By far one of Smith's best works, I hope for many more of this ilk.
