5.0�toiles sur 5 Great thriller, D�c 20 2002

Par	Timothy Henderson "tjhenders" (Montgomery, AL United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Body of Truth (Paperback)

I can't quite understand the negative reviews this book seems to be getting here. I think it may well be the best thriller I've read. I've spent a fair amount of time in Guatemala, and I'd say Lindsey may overstate the menacing atmosphere a bit, it is hard to look at Guatemala's recent history and fault him for this. A great book.

1.0�toiles sur 5 Half as long would have been plenty, Mars 4 2001

Par	El Capitan (Webster, New York United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Body of Truth (Paperback)

I struggled through the interminable descriptions of stench, of fountains bubbling in the background, of statues, wrought iron gates, you name it, Lindsey can write two paragraphs on it.

After 80 pages, I started skipping the paragraphs that were desciptive filler. I gave up by chapter 17.

If ever there were a book that would make me believe the author was being paid by the word, it would be this one. Had some of those words actually created a spark of interest in the characters, I might have pressed on.

Perhaps Lindsey has written better books. Too bad this was my first encounter with his writing. It will be my last.

1.0�toiles sur 5 He doesn't know what he is writing, F�v 5 2001

Par	Min-Seong, Jean (kyunggido South Korea) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Body of Truth (Paperback)

How could a book like this be published? Yes, He has been to Guatemala. Yes, He knows the structure of the city precisely. Yes, He invested his time and money preparing for the novel. DOES THAT MEAN I HAVE TO THREAD THROUGH ALL THE DESCRIPTION ABOUT THE CITY FOR MORE THAN 300 PAGES? He wrote pretty well at the beginning. But as the story went on he lost balance and wasted too much effort on city and landscape description. DON'T TRY TO READ THIS ONE. NEVER!
