2.0étoiles sur 5 Shows all of Ludlum's flaws as a writer, Déc 9 2003
Par M. Cooper "thegrendel" (Southwest) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Scarlatti Inheritance (Hardcover)
If you like Ludlum, read one of his later works.
"The Scarlatti Inheritance" showcases all his flaws as
a writer.
Ludlum can indeed handle certain techniques of a suspense
novel -- the buildup of tension, the explosive scene, etc.
Unfortunately, his flaws ruin the pleasure of reading this book.
* His characters are paper-thin.
* He's sloppy with background details. In this particular book,
for example, historical details are wrong and/or misinterpeted,
and the German dialog is grammatically and/or idiomatically incorrect.
* Excess reliance on "deus ex machina" plot devices.

Summary: If you like the type of suspense Ludlum writes,
you'd be better off reading someone like Trevanian.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Early Ludlum book needs some refining, Aoû 20 2002
This review is from: The Scarlatti Inheritance (Paperback)
This is one of Ludlum's earlier works (I believe it might be his earliest) and the lack of refinement clearly shows. The novel focuses on Elizabeth Scarlatti's efforts to stop her son from using his wealth and power to provide the Third Reich with incalculable resources in the period before WWII.

The book can be confusing in places and it definitely helps to have an understanding of how stocks/securities work because much of the plot revolves around the manipulation of securities. The plot fits together decently, though there are some holes that ultimately left me scratching my head at the conclusion. I found the beginning half of the book to be immensely engrossing, but the pace quickened toward the end, leading to what seemed like a rushed and forced resolution. Worthy reading if you like Ludlum, but others might prefer one of his later and more refined works.

2.0étoiles sur 5 Ludlam in training, Fév 2 2002
Par JSH (central NJ) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: The Scarlatti Inheritance (Paperback)
Great premise, great disappointment. Formulaic, improbable, confusing. Ludlam is clearly honing his skills in this early work. He ended a different book than he started. Bottom line: keep shopping.
