4.0 out of 5 stars Overall Good Book, April 7 2002

This review is from: THE BOYS FROM BRAZIL (Hardcover)

In the area of World War Two, Hitler historical fiction this is an interesting story. The author created a plot that is getting close to possible with today's technology. A lot of the historical facts introduced in the book are accurate and the author uses these facts to build a complete story. From a wiring point of view the book is above average, but not an edge of your seat thriller. The story is complete, the plot is a good one and there is adequate character development. It is a good book that is worth investing the time.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Thriller Ahead of Its Time, Feb 15 2002

This review is from: THE BOYS FROM BRAZIL (Hardcover)

Boys from Brazil begins disturbingly, with of group of three men in South American plotting to kill 94 men with civil servant-type jobs. These men are to be killed at specific dates but no mention is given of why. Thus the book continues, slowly building to an unpredictable climax of repeated history that must be stopped.
Even though I already knew the ending to this book it was still a wonderful read, and I heartily recommend it to anyone who knows their ABC's

4.0 out of 5 stars The Fourth Reich, Jan 5 2002

By

Mitchell Trantham (Beach Park IL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: THE BOYS FROM BRAZIL (Hardcover)

The writer of this book was Ira Levin. This is a story about Nazi Germans plotting to spark the beginning of a fourth Reich by systematically murdering 94 men who are 64 to 66 years old.
I sort of liked the book because I like learning about WW2 stuff. The science behind this book is relevant to today. It's kind of scary to think of what would happen if it were real.
