3.0 out of 5 stars Good Cold War Read, May 14 2007
By R. Hansen "rob_slick" (Hamilton, Ontario) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Charm School (Mass Market Paperback)
The Charm School was my first novel by Nelson Demille and I enjoyed it. I must admit I am a junkie for the fast-moving contemporoary thrillers and I found some of the chapters a bit longer than what I am used to.

The plot of the Charm school seemed plausible although incredible and Demille writes well enough for me to want to look him up again.

I didn't enjoy his female lead character, Lisa Rhodes. I didn't see the attraction of his progtagonist, Colonel Hollis to her. She appeared whiny, needy and much too clingy from the start. I thought that her character would have been clever if she'd ended up a turncoat or a KGB plant, but unfortunately, she was just a poorly drawn out desperate character that I could do without.

5.0 out of 5 stars Airplane consensus, Jun 24 2004
By K. J Johnson - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Charm School (Hardcover)
I work in airplanes and I'm always looking to see what people are reading. When I see Nelson DeMille, I ask if it's their first or if they are a fan. For the first time DeMille-ers, I tell them to pick up Charm School. For those that say they are fans, their number one pick is ALWAYS The Charm School. I have to agree! The Charm School had me hooked from the first page and I just couldn't put it down. It's made me a fan of Mr. DeMille's books and I've read them all. The Charm School is still my number one favorite book of his. Read it. You'll be a fan, too!!
