5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, May 17 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Shadow Man (Mass Market Paperback)

This is the first book I have read by Katzenbach and I was very impressed. His characters literally jumped off the page and their voices were distinct. This is the first book I have ever read that made me want to turn back to page one and read it all over again as soon I was finished with it. I can't wait to read more of his work.

3.0 out of 5 stars Turned out to be diferent than what expected., Sep 2 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Shadow Man (Mass Market Paperback)

There are many books about holocoust survivors during the war years and inmediatly after, but there ae not many who talk about this subject in a totally setting (miami) and 50 years after the war, wich makes th book interesting.
Unfortunatly I think this book is more about police,detectives and shooting than anything else.
However, I think the book repeats the same information already given to the reader over and over which makes it a little boring.
Being spanish my first language, I would like to tell the author that the idea of including spanish sentences and words every now and then is not a bad idea, however please have it check out by a native speaker because the number of grammar mistakes is amazing!!!

This review is from: Shadow Man (Mass Market Paperback)

The book was pretty good, but seemingly incredible. The antagonist was a presumably 70 year old man who somehow struck fear in the heart of a 30 year-old Miami detective. It's entertaining, but by no means did it live up to the expectations.

I've always been a fan of Mr. Katzenbach, and so I jumped at the chance to read Shadow Man, and Boy, was I surprised. Read more
