From AudioFile

Don't sit down to listen to this tape until you have a clear ten hours to spare because turning it off is next to impossible. During World War II a small group of commandos sneaks onto a German-held Greek island to destroy a gun battery which guards a strategic strait. The tale is gripping, and Steven Pacy makes it even more so as he narrates in a taut and spare style. Pacy's modulated, crisp British accent, his perfect understatement and timing convince listeners they are hearing a spontaneous account rather than a reading. A perfect choice for audio--particularly as the narrator so successfully captures the drama and characters. R.B.F. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine --Ce texte provient de la Audio Cassette �dition.

3.0�toiles sur 5 Very descriptive, Jui 17 2006

Par	S. Griffith (Bangor, Saskatchewan Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Guns of Navarone (Paperback)

As an adventure novel, it can be an exciting read - once you get into it. However, the average reader will get lost in the description. To some, the size alone can be intimidating. The storyline isn't very plausible, but if that is put aside some can find it very exciting. It is best to skim-read, however, for at least the first half of the book. I read this book in school and, based on experience, I can say that you either love the book or you hate it. It is an opinion you must form for yourself.

4.0�toiles sur 5 not exactly literature but pretty exciting, Oct. 25 2003

Par	Randy Keehn (Williston, ND United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Guns of Navarone (Mass Market Paperback)

I read this book when I was in my early teens and I became an immediate fan of Alstair MacLean. His books waste little time before you get right into the action and then there's action all the way through to the end. I can't remember how many of his books I eventually read; there was "Puppet on a Chain", "Ice Station Zebra", "Force 10 from Navarone", "The Satan Bug", etc. etc. etc.. About the time I was reading "River of Death" I realized that all the excitement in his books didn't always make up for the hasty way in which he seemed to write them. The tough guy with no personality eventually lost my interest. In my opinion, "The Guns of Navarone" was his best work. Maybe it was the World War II setting that gave it added appeal. He didn't have to waste any paragraphs establishing the cause or who were the good guys and who were the bad. Whatever it was, I remember feeling like I needed to take a deep breath when I was finished with it.

It's too bad that literature and spellbinding adventure rarely come together in one book. I remember reading Henry James's "thriller" "The Turn of the Screw" when I was a teenager. That book put me to sleep trying to drag myself through it. Action has no time for character development. Some books make you want to stop and think while others make you want to keep turning the pages. I used to enjoy Alstair MacLean's novels. I would heartily recommend them to any young man who's looking for excitement in a paperback.

This review is from: The Guns of Navarone/Audio Cassettes (Audio Cassette)

Sir, I do not know where you went to school but your appaling spelling doesn't exactly support your claim that "The Guns of Naverone" has poor sentence structure etc. How would you know? You seem hardly qualified to judge given your command of the English language. I suggest you hit the books a little before you give such ridiculous reviews. This is the exact reason I love these reviews, they are hilarious!
