1.0 out of 5 stars Tedious, couldn't wait to finish, Jun 15 2003

By	Desertphile - See all my reviews

This review is from: Eiger Sanction (Mass Market Paperback)

I recently read a book called "The Eiger Sanction." I found it very poorly written: no meat for the intellect--- it provides merely vulgar entertainment for the gonads. There is nothing one can sink one's cerebral cortex into. It is sensation for the sake of stimulation, with nothing to occupy the mind. While billed as a "spy novel," there is very little inside to suggest this. There is no witty plot; no cleverness on the part of the characters. The main character is mentally ill, tasteless, uninteresting, and a murdering sociopath--- and is also *BORING!* If meeting such a person in real life, one would not waste one's time even saying "Hello" to him: it's a waste of time spending three or four days reading about him. The author doesn't even have him face justice for his murders: he's rewarded for his killings.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best spy/assassin novel I've ever read., Jul 16 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Eiger Sanction (Mass Market Paperback)

I liked the main character, John Hemlock. He's an assassin for the government armed with a sharp tongue. He is a man without conscience but surprisingly Trevanian does a great job of getting you to like his character. I don't wish to spoil the entire book, so if anyone out there likes spy novels, this is the one for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Trevanian, again..., Jul 12 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Eiger Sanction (Mass Market Paperback)

Well, certainly not a Shibumi. But for those who have been overwhelmingly fascinated by Shibumi, that book is satisfactory. It shows the readers the extent of Trevanian's intellect and knowledge. But I cannot say that I actually liked Hemlock, he is rather cold-blooded compared with Hel, he is more like a robot, than an actual novel character. But still it is Trevanian, and I simply LOVE this guy's work.:))
