2.0 out of 5 stars Just not good enough, Oct 17 2001

This review is from: White Ninja: A Nicholas Linnear Novel (Hardcover)

Maybe it's my adult tastes. I'd picked this book up after several years to finish it off, I'd started with The Ninja back when I was a teenager, and I feel like I've grown up with the hero of the book, Nicholas Linnear. I was told there's now 5 books in the series. I just hope the rest aren't like White Ninja. Though a wonderful writing style, I found the book lacked imagination. Some of the scenes became so unrealistic, put there to inject a sense of drama and climax, but looking out of place. The climax to the book by the way was awful. What a complete disappointment. It slowly builds, then nothing. Nicholas does his usual three fingered gut thrust and monkey blow, but no twists, nothing that makes you think wow, that was a good read.

4.0 out of 5 stars The last GREAT Nicholas Linnear novel, Sep 13 2000

This review is from: White Ninja (Mass Market Paperback)

I LOVED 'The Ninja' and 'The Miko'... 'White Ninja' is the last GREAT Nicholas Linnear novel. Nicholas faces marital troubles when his past Japanese flame returns... Very detailed descriptions of the mountains in Japan... makes you wish you were living there...

1.0 out of 5 stars Too long and too boring., Jan 21 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: White Ninja (Mass Market Paperback)

This was pathetic. I HAD TO skip some parts. It was just TOO LONG AND NOTHING HAPPENED. What was he thinking when he made this book. I think that Lustbader is running out of ideas and FAST so he puts together whatever he can and comes out with this garbage. The end was bad and the fight scenes did not make sense to me at all. I have a good imagination and I crave action but this was stupid.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting!
It's a good book. This is the first Martial Art story I read with the mystical aspects of the Art. Bewarned! That mystical thing was all just made up. Read more
