Customer Review: Mr. Silva did a great deal of research before writing this book and it shows, excellent was of taking the reader into the story and making him feel a part of the action.
Customer Review: G. Allon, the hero of the book, is too much of a good thing, and, so, is difficult to accept. The book is well written and a good way to spend some time.
Customer Review: Gabriel Allon is, arguably, one of the most fascinating characters devised in works of espionage and this was the initial book in the ongoing series. As with all of the stoties by the writer, the characters are richly developed and the plot is a very complex one with numerous turns existing. The... more info
Customer Review: `The Messenger' by Daniel Silva I was late to reading Daniel Silva, however, I am absolutely hooked and `The Messenger' is a big reason why. This is the second Gabriel Allon novel I've had the pleasure of reading - the first being `The Secret Servant', which I didn't think could be topped - and... more info
Customer Review: This is the third book in a series and Silva finally has done everything right even including a good ending. It not only has many twists and turns but has some great surprises; many of them just when you think you have it all figured out. Each layer as it is uncovered brings more questions than... more info
Customer Review: Good beginning and was somewhat interesting until the last 70 pages, then it went downhill and stayed there all the way thru the last page. If you like an ending where you can close the book and smile, then this is not the book for you. This was one of his earlier books written in 2002 and I guess... more info
Customer Review: Despite reading them out of order, I have thoroughly enjoyed Silva's entire Gabriel Allon series. This and "The Messenger" are the best. "The Messenger" was a fabulous page turner with a timely message about Saudi financed terrorism. "Prince of Fire" is just as good, but in a different way. It is a... more info
Customer Review: Having more narrative twists than a Cedar Point roller coaster (in Sandusky, Ohio), this wonderful espionage thriller in the vein of Frederick Forsyth's The Day of the Jackal, has firmly put me on the path of reading Daniel Silva. I haven't been disappointed yet. The ending of The Unlikely... more info
Customer Review: Of the six books that I have read by Silva, this is the first three stars; the others were either four or five. This book was the third in the Gabriel Allon series and it became tiresome to read many details over for the third time. It is okay to keep some of the main characters from book to book,... more info
Customer Review: This book could've been a fantastic thriller. All of the ingredients are present: a ruthless and brilliant assassin and a capable protagonist as his foil. The book was greatly diminished by it's portrayal of its protagonist's marriage to a high-powered lawyer obsessed with getting pregnant. It's... more info
