1.0 out of 5 stars A Sucker Read, Nov 12 2011

This review is from: The Talbot Odyssey (Mass Market Paperback)

I have read most of this author's books, most of them excellent reads. This one was a flop to me.It was difficult to sort out all the characters and it almost seemed he used names as 'fill',and it was simply a ridiculous story.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not his best, Feb 16 2006

By

Mark "Mark" (US) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Talbot Odyssey (Mass Market Paperback)

This is not his best book that he has written, but entertaining nonetheless. He is such a talented writer, and there hasn't been one book of his that I have disliked.

However, there were many problems with the book. In the beginning there were so many characters that I couldn't keep track. Luckily a lot of them died so it became easier to follow lol. He probably could have omitted many excess chapters that weren't needed and recieved a even greater powerul effect upon the reader. Also, the plot was unrealistic and hard to follow

Overall, it's a good book and I did like the idea of everybody working together at the end to achieve their goal.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not DeMille's best, but still a good read, Dec 3 2003

This review is from: The Talbot Odyssey (Mass Market Paperback)

I had very high hopes for this book after reading The Charm School, and unfortunately this one didn't quite measure up. However, if you enjoy the spy-thriller genre, this book is a good investment of your time and money. You won't walk away saying it's the best you've ever read, but it will hold your attention and provide some good excitement along the way.
