Lies of Silence

Rating:
Summary: fairly good
Review: We could not identify us with the main actor Dillon on the contrary we got very excited about his actions. Especially at the end he doesn't think and doesn't want to see the danger, he seems to be naive and we can't imagine that anyone can react this way. The topic of the book is chosen well, but when the main actor has an incomprehensible way to react, the book isn't our style. On the other side we learnt much about the Irish political problems like the quarrel between Catholics and Protestants and about the methods of the IRA.

Summary: great book
Review: When I read the cover of this book, I really liked it. So I started reading, also for school. I really can say that I enjoyed reading this book, because it could be a reallife story!
I think Brian Moore did a great job to write this excellent book!

Summary: Brian Moore's Lies of Silence
Review: When I think about it afterwards, I guess this book is pretty good, it has a very difficult dilemma it deals with. And I think it's really helps to understand the difficulty of it when you try to imagine what you would do in that same situation.
But when I was reading it after the main happening in the beginning, I found it quite boring, I guess the huge excitement and tension in the beginning makes the rest of the book seem like one big anticlimax.
