Summary: Had To Give Up On It!
Comment: I have been a big fan of Larry Collins' books over the years and started off very engrossed in his latest, The Road To Armageddon, as well. However, the extreme amount of detail Collins offers on everything from money laundering to obtaining materials for use in developing nuclear devices made me feel I was reading a "How To" primer rather than a thriller. As a result, after forcing myself to read about half of the book, I had to give up. Life is too short and there are too many books to read to make me try to finish this book. I wouldn't be surpised that if I was able to finish the book, it would have been a good read. Most of Collins' books are. But, I guess, the ability to work your way through the overwhelming amount of detail requires much more willpower than I have. I can't say that The Road To Armageddon is a bad book, since I wasn't able to finish it. The purpose of my review is to alert you to what you are in for should you attempt to read The Road To Armageddon. Caveat emptor!

Summary: Great Book, very enjoyable.
Comment: I found this book on my sisters book shelf and took it with me on a road trip. There were a few spelling mistakes but the writing way made up for it. Most books have them anyways. The story moved fast and it was really interesting. For sure I reccomend this book. The cover desing is really very nice too.

Summary: Great story - incredibly bad editing
Comment: I had a great deal of trouble getting through this book. The story is absorbing, the writing is vivid --- but the editing, to say the least, leaves something to be desired for a trade hardback. In the first 18 pages, I found ten serious editorial errors, including left-out apostrophes ("the Mullahs men") and hyphens ("off white", "five day"), misspelled names ("Addidas", "Dusseldorf"), misinflections (an image of an eagle "rung" with a circular band), and, unbelievably, an incorrect conversion from kilometers to miles. Such errors continue through the book. One cannot comfortably move with the flow of an author's prose when one's sensibilities are being continually assaulted by such barbarisms.
