4.0 out of 5 stars Certainly a page-turner,..., Nov 3 2003
By Bimal Gunapala (Colombo, Sri Lanka.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Chancellor Manuscript (Paperback)
I wanted to give this book 3.5 stars, but since I can only give 3 or 4, I chose 4.

This is my 2nd Ludlum book. The 1st being "The Hades Factor". Comparing the two, I must say that "The Hades Factor" comes out on top simply because the hero's experiences are more believable than in "The Chancellor Manuscript". Still, the storyline in "The Chancellor Manuscript" is imaginative, plausible and enjoyable. It kept me glued to it till early hours of the morning. The main (and probably the only) downside is the way Peter Chancellor is always being presented with riddles instead of the facts even in situation where it only makes sense to present the facts to him directly. Other than that it was a good read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Premature, Sep 25 2003
By Len Kozempa "olrocr" (Seven Hills, OH United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Chancellor Manuscript (Paperback)
One of the greatest books I have ever read is the "Matarese Circle", which I read from start to finish in 3 days! This introduced me to Robert Ludlum, and from that time on I have read all his books. Unfortunately, over time, he became long-winded, and it was almost a chore to read his books. This is one of his earlier works, and I have the same excitement I did when I read my first Ludlum. I have been drawn into the story, and can not put it down. This is one of his earliest works when he was still on the way up. The only reason I have given this 4 stars, is that I am only half way through, but I know when I am done, I will want to revise this to 5.

3.0 out of 5 stars Political Correctness Amid a Jumble of Conspiracy, Aug 22 2003
By Avid Reader (Franklin, Tn) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Chancellor Manuscript (Paperback)
If you are going to write an "in" book - one that deals with issues in vogue at the moment - you must at least try to make it timeless. Ludlum is at his best when he ignores current likes and dislikes and worst when he uses already overworked themes. This book reminds one of the new television season in which you know that if a show about runaways was popular last year, there will be 10 others like it this year.

Hoover is an easy guy to hate with all his quirks and secrets and prejudices. He served for too long, accumulated too much power and used his position to bribe or blackmail as baldly as Kennedy, LBJ or Nixon. Still, he turned the FBI into the force it is today - a respected, professional group admired around the world.

But back to the story, the tale is intriguing in spite of its trendiness. All the intrigues - where conspiracies and boogeymen seem to pop out of every hedge - advance the plot. One thing I liked about this book is its leanness - Ludlum has gotten expansive for expansion's sake. Not his best but good for a beach read.

Robert Ludlum was a good thriller writer. This book has a good opening, a series of stops and starts where you keep guessing when the plot will begin, finds its legs, then runs... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing ending to promising developments

3.0 out of 5 stars NOT HIS BEST, BUT NOT BAD....
AS I FIND WITH MANY OF LUDLUM'S NOVELS, GOOD STORY THAT TWISTS, BUT IS SOMETIMES HARD TO FOLLOW. THE BOOKS GETS PROGRESSIVELY BETTER AND I LIKED THE STORY.
