Review:I absolutely love these books but Michael is gettiing on my bloody nerves! I want these stories to be longer! I finished this book in less than two days. What the heck? So not acceptable! I am demanding more Royce and Hadrian! Robin, please do something about this! Read more

Review:Enjoyed this one too. More insight into the main characters and lifting some of the minor characters up a notch too. I was somewhat disappointed to lose some of my "minor" support characters but the build up in the ending has me ready to read the last book.

And I'm a big fan of George RR Martin's world,but, I'm glad Michael doesn't share the graphic adult situations that we find in George's books. I'm an adult and I can read that into the book if I so desire.

I look forward to the ... Read more

Review:The author of this series deserves all the kudos he has received for the concept and execution of what has to be one of he best epic fantasies to come along in years. I ordered and read all three volumes back to back and finished them over a weekend. I could not put these books down, and when I finished "Heirs of Novron" I was suffering from withdrawal. I cannot wait to see what this author comes up with next, but I hope Hadrian and Royce at least get a cameo. Read more

Review:I love this trilogy. Nothing can compare to the first, "Child 44", but Tom Rob Smith has created characters in whose lives I feel vested throughout all three novels. Full of intrigue, adventure and moral dilemmas that make me angry one moment and in awe of the strength of character the next. Could there be a 4th I n the story? A girl can hope! Read more

Review:I really liked Child 44 therefore I am determined to read all 3 books in this trilogy. The Secret Speech is even better. It started a little slow for me but this author really delivers. Momentum builds quickly and this becomes a real page turner. Tom Rob Smith is an amazing author and this is most definately a 5 star read. Can't wait to read the 3rd book. Read more

Review:A truly humorous but a bit confusing novel...get ready with American slang vocabulary if you as a mon-native speaker want not to follow track in case you do not read it in one sitting. I keep reading Chandler because I like Philippe Marlowe Read more

Review:I first read Raymond Chandler when I recieved The High Window, The Lady In The Lake, Farewell, My Lovely and The Big Sleep, as Christmas gift's in 1965 when I was in High School. I went on to read all of Chandler's work and Dashiell Hammett's as well. I really enjoy the hard boiled detective style of fiction. I bought these novels as Christmas gifts for my Grandson seeing as how he is now in High School and hope he might enjoy them as much as I did. Read more

Review:The story is a typical detective mystery written in a style that shows it age. It was refreshing to read a book that is not full of vulgarity, so prevalent in today's writings. For that reason alone, I would recommend it and other Raymond Chandler books.. Read more

Review:A remarkable picture of southern California in 1942: the war is still in the background, but its effects are starting to be felt. Crime has not taken any break. Marlowe is hired by a somewhat sympathetic client, for a change. The detective is in a contemplative middle age, skeptical and ironic but not embittered. Read more
