1.0 out of 5 stars Too close to Hemingway for comfort..., Jun 2 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Testament (Mass Market Paperback)
When I initially read this book, I would have given it a higher rating--after all, Mr. Morrell was a prof at U of I; "First Blood" was an all-time favorite of mine; and the technical detail of "Testament" was superb. BUT... I later read Ernest Hemingway's "Big Two Hearted River" for a college lit class. The similarities between Morrell's Rueben dining on "canned beans and canned spagetti" were very, um, "similar" (eerily so...) to Nick Adam's dining experience in the wilderness of Michigan's Upper Peninulsa... Right down to both characters uttering happily through a mouthful of hot food: "Crise, Jesus Crise..." Coincidence? Well, probably--after all, a couple of letters weren't quite the same (sub "t" for "e"). Still, I was pretty disappointed... It certainly tempered my enjoyment of Mr. Moreell's subsequent offerings. Has anyone else ever noted this coincidence??

5.0 out of 5 stars The man and his wife, his daughter and his son...., Sep 30 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Testament (Mass Market Paperback)
This thrilling and captivating story caught my interest after the first sentence.This is truely a great story of a man struggling to keep himself and his family alive and away from the wrath of a 'violent enemy'. This book is very well written and at the turn of each page you remain spellbound! So involved with this book, I found myself regretting to put it down. You soon find yourself getting wrapped up in David Morrell's plot and you may end up putting off everything in your life just to find out how Reuben Bourne intends to keep his family safe, without being able to trust a living soul....

3.0 out of 5 stars A TRUE TESTAMENT OF WILL POWER!
I have not read a Morrell novel in many years. In fact, I have only read all of the Rambo novels plus one other titled BLOOD OATH, and I personally did not like it. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars excellent plot but weak ending
The story was very fast paced and exciting, typical of other Morrell books. However, given the ordeal the protaganist is put through I just couldn't believe the ending. Read more
