Honour Among Thieves

Rating:
Summary: Intense story line, gripping tale. No disappointments here!
Review: "Honor Amoung Thieves" is the second book by Mr. Archer that I have had the chance to read, the first being "First Amoung Equals". Politics seem more exciting than normal whenever I open a book by Mr. Archer. His characters are believable and his story line never lags. He is truly an amazing artist!

Summary: Larry Vincent reviews Archers "Honour Among Theives".
Review: A well thought out story. Completely original with gripping situations. The storyline has some basis in fact inter-twined with fiction. It's was a really good read & an ideal way to spend a quiet week-end.

Summary: Flawed but stunning novel nonetheless.
Review: Archer spins a harrowing tale of suspense that is both preposterous and frightening at the same time. Another storyteller would botch the improbable plot Archer has chosen, but his meticulous detail, his pace, and his realistic spin on an insane situation add up for one of the more satisfying and enjoyable novels in recent memory. Character development is one crucial part of this memorable read, and all the players are developed brilliantly, from the lead participants to the men behind the scenes. The only flaw: a truly preposterous plot, combined with moments of sheer idiocy, combine to water down the suspense a little. However, the superb ending and quick pace make this an excellent suspense novel, written in fine Archer form

Summary: The Heist of the Century - Times 2
Review: Can somebody put a price on the Declaration of Independence? Saddam Hussain has - 100 million dollars. A criminal syndicate accepts the job and sets into motion an ingenious plan to replace the document with a masterful forgery. The plan works perfectly - and Hussain proceeds to deface the document in private and destroy it in public - on July 4th, with the world watching.

However, the theft is discovered, and it's up to an American agent, with the help of a placed Mossad spy to do the impossible - steal it back right out of Saddams inner sanctum.

It's an enjoyable tale of two incredible thefts, though I have to confess I saw the big twist at the end coming from a long ways away, with robbed some of the enjoyment. Still, it's a good read.

Summary: Ficticia pero también muy probable. Entretenido y rápido.
Review: Es un libro muy entretenido de leer, rápido y siempre cautivante, el tema atrae porque aunque parto del supuesto que es falso creo que llegado el momento el gobierno norteamericano y el Israeli podrían actuar de esa manera.

Summary: Average Book
Review: Honor Among Thieves goes up and down. It seemed to start pretty slow. Giving some background and other information. There were some interesting parts but I don't think it got good until the last few chapters. When the plot thickened. I have read better novels but Honor Amoung Thieves had a pretty good plot.

Summary: This book is a perfect example of word processed trash.
Review: Honour Amoung Thieves is such a poorly written piece of word processed trash I was driven to finish it with the same impetus that drives one to pick a painful scab or tounge a sore tooth. The plot is as ridiculous, contrived and full of holes as a 1930's movie serial yet completely lacking in charm, humour or grace. The characters are simple racial stereotypes strung together like cheap plastic beads on the frayed dental floss of the storyline. There are crafty, evil Arabs, an Irish drunk, gravel voiced Mafia dons, and resourceful, dedicated Israelis. The book is so poorly thought out it gives the impression of being poured out onto a computer screen with one take and barely enough time for a spell check. Archer must have had a past due child support payment and where was the editor

Summary: A very readable book, with a solid imaginative plot
Review: I bought this book on a sale for about 12$(Hardcover) , and the suspense/price ratio is one of the highest to date for me personally. Sadam Hussein endeveaours to steal The Declaration of Independence, in order to humiliate The US by burning it on CNN live. The mission for the us-Isrealy intellegence community now is simple; GET IT BACK !. The book has manyfaceted characters, that are essential for et good plot. Very much worth its price
