Summary: left me speechless
Review: For years I've given up on novels after 50 or a 100 pages or so, frustrated by boredom or weak pacing or contrived characters who seem to be able to do no wrong. After noticing a review of The Day After Tomorrow the week it was released in '94, I picked up the hardback at a local book store. From page one I was utterly astounded. Folsom has a deft touch. His plotting and detailing is second to absolutely noone. I read slowly and carefully and have no patience for writers who indulge themselves with long, flowery prose or bullet-proof characters. The story was probably a hundred pages too long (most of the unneeded heft coming in the middle section), but this tale was such a rare treat that I even hesitate to voice my complaint. I guess what impresses me the most about this novel, is that I feel that Folsom respected the reader while he was writing, he understood that we would be sacrificing free-time that could be spent elsewhere, and thus labored at holding our attention. This story was contrived, but fiction by its very nature is contrived, and the best fiction should make us want to believe that what we see on the page is really happening. Mr. Folsom, I applaud you. And yes, I believe.

Summary: twisted, but excellent
Review: Not to sound like everybody else who liked the book, but I actually gasped at the last sentence and it took a couple minutes to come back to reality! Totally unexpected. I was actually disappointed that it was over. Although it is a very scary, chilling subject dealing with the re-creation of the sickest creature in history, I found it very intriguing and captivating. Good job for a first novel.

Summary: Gets lost under the body count
Review: After a promising start, this descends into a - 'Oh, the plot's flagging so let's throw in a few more bodies' - type of book. Also, I thought Fourth Reich books went out of style after the fifteenth Ludlum. If you finally make it to the end of this book, you'll feel more like a headless chicken than a headless ...... (insert infamous dictator of choice) for having been stupid enough to read that far.

Summary: First Half Good, Last Half . . . Yawn
Review: I was looking for a good substitute for Hagberg or Flannery when I picked this one up. And the accolades seemed to bless the novel. Makes me think there's payola alive in the review circles. I won't bore you with a synopsis, you've probably read one above. Suffice it to say the author uses one of the most tired plot twists since the end of the Second World War. The best parts of this novel are the segments where the slippery Neo-Nazi seduces an unsuspecting American clerk, most of which happens during the first half of the novel. The details of these encounters are scintilating indeed. But you can get that stuff from a Forum magazine if that's cup of tea. I felt cheated getting that from over 400 pages of what was supposed to be a "page-turning, gripping" thriller.

Summary: Too bad you can't give ZERO stars
Review: Absolutely one of the lamest books I've ever read. I'd gotten a little tired of Ludlum and was looking for an alternative but this wasn't it. The plot twists, turns, connections, and chance occurences were beyond unbelievable. I regretted the time I invested in this one. Anyone who doesn't guess the "punchline" by 2/3 way through must be seriously lacking in insight.

Summary: No coffee required, it'll have you up all night!
Review: Quite honestly, this was one of the my most enjoyed readings. From start to finish, the author had me guessing what would happen on the next page.

Summary: An excellent read!
Review: One of the greatest books I have ever read. Suspenseful plot and interesting characters. Keeps you reading until the last chapter is done. The last line is a killer!

Summary: OH DEAR LORD!!!!!! Did we all read the same book???
Review: I'll keep this short (unlike the book itself)... It's filled with stock characters from the worst Hollywood B movie, has more holes in the plot than the finest Swiss cheese and it's almost as long as Ulysses for crying out loud!!!!! If you're in any doubt open the last page and read the last 7 words and then decide if you want to read anything that has this for a punchline... Readable but try Robert Harris "Fatherland" instead...

Summary: Read it, loved it, recommend it.
Review: This was a total page turner during summer vacation of '96. I forgot the name and the author, and seeing as i had borrowed it, couldn't reccomend it either, so I finally went to a bookstore, where i described the story till somebody was able to identify it. I now have my own copy, and recommend it as a fast and fascinating read, about high tech science, the human body, and espionage.

Summary: Powerful, gripping, creative Nazi thriller.
Review: I've read many similar books in this genre and nothing beats it. The story is well-crafted, plausible and downright frightening with an ending I can quote years after having read the book. The best last line of any book I've ever read. I highly recommend this book.
