The Unlikely Spy

Silva is taking a month out of my life!
I stumbled across "Mark of the Assassin" a couple weeks ago. Upon completion, I purchased every available novel written by Silva. "The Unlikely Spy" is more complicated than most thrillers. It is also not as polished as his later novels. It does clearly show a remarkable talent for research and crafting a tale that expertly weaves both fact and fiction. My theory however is that maybe ...

Gabriel Allon is the man!!
I have gained a an ever increasing respect for Holocaust survivors. I do not believe anyone can ever really begin to imagine the horrors of this period in history. Gabriel Allon learned of this first hand upon reading a manuscript, written by his mother, who was a physical survivor. The monstor who stripped her of everything except her moral courage is alive and Gabriel must bring him to ...

Masterful
I find it amazing that the author keeps coming up with fresh plots and an exciting story with mostly the same key characters. Gabriel Allon, the Israeli operative, comes out on top once again. Islamic terrorists kidnap the daughter of the U.S. ambassador to England while she's taking her daily run in Hyde Park. They request a swap for an important sheikh who is in prison in Colorado. Then, when ...

James Patterson is Always Good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Dangerous Days of Daniel X was a quick romp of playful imagination. I always enjoy following Patterson's creative mind. I got his Maximum Ride series for my grandson - but was soon hooked on the outcome of his very colorful and endearing characters. Daniel X leads you into the same pattern - you learn quickly to care about the main character. To hang spell bound on his Destiny and to ...

The book offers a holistic approach to changing your life and changing how you see the world and approach problems.

Between four and five stars
Hello, Gabriel Allon, you've become a welcome addition to my life. You really need to get married, though. No spy females, please. Your creator is as smooth as a vodka gimlet made of France's Grey Goose vodka. I love this review by Christine Cunningham:[...] Following the standard rule of rounding, four and a half stars becomes five. And who says we need to forgive the murderers of ...

The Messenger

Putnam Adult, 2006

Silva's Best
I have enjoyed all six of the Silva books I have read--especially the Gabriel Allon stories. "The Messenger," however, is the best of an excellent lot!! It is fast paced and tightly written. Not a word is wasted. The action and the characters are believable, and the concept (Saudi financing of Islamic terrorism) is most timely. Silva does a very good job of reminding the veteran reader of ...

"Bring me the file on The Leopard."
(4.5 stars) The Leopard, an assassin who figures in a number of Silva novels, becomes a major player in this third Gabriel Allon novel, about the passive involvement of the Vatican in the Holocaust and its subsequent denial of all responsibility. Basing the novel on research by scholars like Susan Zuccotti (whom Silva credits in his acknowledgments) into the secret connections between factions ...

Explosive Artistic Ability!! Silva's Best Allon to Date
When you read a review saying that Daniel Silva can flat out write, believe the hype! Silva can really write, and "Prince of Fire" proves just that. Another reviewer said that he didn't think Silva would raise the bar with this one, and that he was wrong. That's accurate enough, because I felt the same way. If somebody were to tell me that Daniel Silva isn't up to snuff, I'd be laughing for a ...

Signet, 2003

Allon's Alter Ego
This is one of my favorite Silva thrillers, primarily because of the subterfuge, chase, revelation, and respect between Silva's hero Gabriel Allon and the antagonist of this book, the English Assassin, who seems to serve as Allon's alter ego. The Englishman is a former British-government trained special ops soldier, now turned mercenary. The back-and-forth in scene and plot when Allon's and the ...

The Marching Season
Daniel Silva keeps me reading!! The situation in Northern Ireland has always bothered me greatly and sadly. Perhaps the scariest part of this book is knowing that the 'situation' in N. I. never really has changed! The Marching Season is a fast paced book, and you want to keep reading til you finish!! You just have to KNOW.......Is the Director of the CIA really rotten?? And how in the world ...

Exciting story of government corruption, international intrigue, and wet work.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will now be on the look out for more Silva novels. Weak review to be sure but it is late, and I had a long day yet wanted to be sure to recommmend this one.

With Understanding, There Can Be Hope, Even with ADHD
In his book HEALING ADD, Dr. Amen tells of how he got into the practice of working with ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) patients, and he shares his insights into this condition. Most authors of ADD books describe it as one condition, or perhaps two types of conditions. Dr. Amen, on the other hand, breaks it down into six different types of disorders and how they affect the patient and those ...

Depression and anxiety fully understood and dealt with at last
WOW! What a book. I have many books, on the above subjects, being a sufferer myself, and feeling like I'm hitting a blank wall trying to fully understand it, but also a book that actively helps you to accept there is more information about diagnosis, PROPER treatment available, and REAL solutions to these debilitating illnesses, not just psychotherapy, or medication. It delves into the ...
