I've since enjoyed reading it again on several occasions.Greville Percivalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16749171.post-65412559740620542022019-01-27T18:27:23.483-08:002019-01-27T18:27:23.483-08:00I'm just picking this up again after more than...I'm just picking this up again after more than thirty years. It was referred to, I think, in world of the thriller. Your analysis I good. However neither your essay nor otters Ice read points out theextreme intensity of moral uncertainty. A quality now rare.

I must have read it when I bought it, but until I picked up again last night, I could not put it down. The best thriller I have read in years, short and to the point, without pages of useless pronouns that loses the thread of the story!!!!!<br />Feels as though I have been in a wet badger hole and riding an Arabian stallion. !!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10798557293304431311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16749171.post-56597240270072902162008-07-05T11:25:00.000-07:002008-07-05T11:25:00.000-07:00Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I really wish you could have seen my face as I read the review and felt the memories come back. Now all I have to do is find a copy. Again, much thanks!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08138110933620697154noreply@blogger.com
