Vivid, Realistic, International Thriller
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book had me hooked from the very first page! The author does a great job of interweaving all the seemingly unrelated stories into one incredible ending! I could not put this book down! Very vivid characterizations, especially Jardine. I do agree with the other reviewer's comment about the portrayal of IRA, but it is still a great story and very much worth reading. I have also read plenty of books in this genre from many best-selling authors and this is by far my favorite. Definitely 5 stars!
Lasting impressions.

Realistic. Well crafted. Original. Out of print. It's unfortunate too, becuase of all the "international thrillers" I have ever read, Devil's Juggler stands out in my mind as one of the few I would read again. If you have a taste for spy novels, or an interest in fictionalized accounts of the intelligence world, you will without a doubt enjoy the character of Jardine.
absorbing, chilling characterizations, seems true to life
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This book pulls you into the story early on, as seemingly separate global events start coming together as chapters progress. The people seem ordinary, even moral, but their actions suggest that they can readily compartmentalize their lives into separate, even dissonant arenas. Unfortunately, it all seems so true to life; I really think the world works more this way and less according to any idealized view of right and wrong. Definitely worth reading. Well-done. I understand it's a first novel by a first-rate author.
