Review:Heard so much about Graham Greene since school days that eventually I bought the book from Amazon to satisfy my curiosity. It was a letdown.

Every character seems to be drinking and drinking on every conceivable occasion. Probably because of the alcohol, the dialogues are fuzzy and meandering. The story is supposed to be hilarious, with the British intelligence chiefs going gaga over the design of a vacuum cleaner that they thought represents some secret device. And when the hero (the vac... Read more

Review:For all you classic lit readers out there. This is the best one so far (in my opinion)! It is readable, easy to understand and is an absolute page turner. Perfect for those who love drama, deceit, lies, secrets and murder(?)! Read more

Review:Very mediocre at best. The writing is clear. Characters are very superficially explored and the plot is completely predictable. Might be better for readers new to the "horror" genre, but for those who have "been around the block" a complete yawner. In fact, I would say that I sort of wish I hadn't looked inside. Read more

Review:Very interesting read, especially in the context of todays relations with Afghanistan. Macintyre always keeps your interest. He makes it compellingly easy to turn the next page. I enjoyed it, maybe you will too. Read more

Review:I almost bought this edition before double-checking and, sure enough, I already have it: it is the famous "Completed by the Spirit-Pen of Charles Dickens" version. Which is also available in the "Droodiana" section of the Delphi e-edition of Dickens's Complete Works, along with three other versions from the 1870s. (My favorite is the earliest, the parody almost in the style of MAD magazine, "The Cloven Foot.") A printer, James self-published his version, which is an interesting one, even though ... Read more

Review:Título: Uber trilogy
I don't know why this trilogy is not on more book lists and is not a blockbuster... It should be. It’s great for book club discussions as it brings many messages and lessons in a delightful, hot, intriguing, captivating and bewitching plot. Yes! All those words, yet not enough.
