5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant use of flashback, Feb 23 2004
By Ryan Brog (Littleton, Colorado United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Parsifal Mosaic (Paperback)
In The Parsifal Mosaic by Robert Ludlum, the literary device flashback was used very frequently and very effectively. Since it revealed many very essential plot elements, the novel was much strengthened by this device. And, Robert Ludlum brought much needed suspense and complexity to the plot by using flashback.
This literary device was used very much throughout this novel. And the reason it was used so much was to reveal essential and thrilling plot elements. Each flashback made by the main character, Michael Havelock, made the story more understandable and put plot puzzle pieces together. Without the use of this literary device by Robert Ludlum, there would be many gaps in the story and the book would not make sense at all.
Not only was the plot put together by the author's use of this literary device, the story was made more suspenseful and complex after these flashbacks by the main character. Each one of them blew you away by revealing something totally new and surprising that made the pages keep turning. It made the book intriguing from beginning to end.
Robert Ludlum's use of flashback in The Parsifal Mosaic ultimately strengthened the novel. In no way did it make it weak or uninteresting or bland, it actually held the plot together and made it suspenseful. This novel was as good as it was because of the literary device of flashback.

3.0 out of 5 stars A triumph of form over content, Aug 27 2003
By Ahmed Rizk (Alaexandria, Egypt) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Parsifal Mosaic (Paperback)
A former field agent of the CIA is hunted down by both his former employees and a fanatic branch of the KGB. In spite of being all alone, he succeeds in eluding both establishments until he discovers the reason, which I am sorry to say is absolutely rediculous.
The details of the hunt is extremely exciting though and makes this book very attractive until you discover the silly plot near the end, hence it becomes rather boring

5.0 out of 5 stars One of Ludlum's best
Frankly I find Ludlum to be hit or miss. The Parsifal Mosaic is, along with the Bourne Identity, one of his best works and biggest home runs of his career. Highly recommended.
