Summary: Thrilling Story that will keep you on Edge
Review: Took this one to my recent trip to Italy, and it kept the hours on the plane flying by. Excellent book, full of action, evil villians, and a body count that exceeds Arnold's last three films. Highly recommended.

Summary: Fantastic and UN-PUT-DOWNABLE!!
Review: I really didn't open this book with much hope of being enthralled (the cover is so lacklustre!) but I read the first paragraph and was put on an INSTANT rollercoaster ride. I truly couldn't stop turning the pages. A masterful thriller. Like some of the other readers I do think there were a lot of characters to juggle, and the book could have been shorter (a bit saggy just past the middle), but I forgive that because it was just SUCH a good read. I loved it and recommend it to anyone who wants a really taut page-turner.

Summary: Oh good grief, 750 pages of nothing.
Review: I bought this book soley on the quality of the
publications that the book quoted rave reviews from.
I can only think that something like this happened
"Shocking in its lack of understanding of technology
this book takes goofyness to a whole new level." Maybe is
paraphrased by the publisher "Shocking... technology... a
whole new level".The hero is a one dimensional revenge and lust driven idiot
who keeps getting lucky over and over. The villians are all
powerful when it suits the author to present random violence
and a sense of a giant world conspiracy. They are totally
impotent when the author can't figure out a way out of one
of the many corners he writes himself into. The implement
the heros father invents is probably the ONE instrument you
don't need to use. This book is fine until the last 200 pages
if you take the authors lack of understanding of medicine and
cryogenics as it is and go with it. The last 200 pages, people
start bouncing around as if teleported, any reasonable motive
for either the hero, the villian, or the chick goes up in smoke
and still it goes on and on to its not so shocking ending which
is only shocking because it is so impossible. I wasn't shocked,
but I sure was confused by the hazy way everything is wrapped up.
Two stars because I finished it.

Summary: awesome!!!!
Review: I have yet to read any other thriller that has kept me so on the edge as this one.It starts with a bang and doesn't let up.You will not be able to put it down.There's a review in the paperback that says,you would not know the truth of the book until the last five words,they weren't lieing.Buy this book but don't peek at the last page,you will not be disappointed.

Summary: Not the best, but a good one
Review: At first is a good book, it keeps you reading until the american doctor found the killer of his father 30 years ago, then the book is to long and repetitive with the investigation of the police of each crime (the interpol, the french and english police and of course Mr. Mcvey from LA).
More or less at the middle of the book you will know why the people was murdered by the german people, and you will have to read it until you finish just to know exactly how was their plan of the future world. Nevertheless of the story, the boring part that is long and repetitive, the love story that is on the book, the end of it is amazing

Summary: Only Read Half
Review: For a plot that has been used so many times you think it would have worked a bit better. The book started off well enough. I got into the extra sub plots - they were done well. The character mix was engrossing with good descriptions and development. The author is a good writer, always painting vivid pictures for the minds eye of the surroundings and locations. It is just the last third of the book disappointed all most to the level that when I came to the end I was mad. I felt I had been hoodwinked, how could the first two third's of the book be so good, fresh etc and the last bit be such a half hearted effort on a tired plot?

Summary: You might want to give it a try if...
Review: Okay, here's the scene. You're an American, born and raised in the Twentieth Century. You're functionally literate. You watch the news on TV every day. You're aware that, before you were born, there was a very big war called World War Two. In this war, some bad guys called Nazis took over Europe (which is a far away place where the people are white, but talk funny). But then the Americans won the war and everything was better. Now you, an American, have seen a lot of movies and probably even watched the History Channel. You've heard that there is a form of entertainment called a "book", which consists of a whole lot of pages with nothing but words on them. No pictures. You're skeptical as to whether this can really be entertaining, but you're an open-minded American and willing to try new things. If all of the above is true for you, then you will love this book.

Summary: One of THE best action-packed thrillers out there!
Review: I read 'The Day After Tomorrow' about 7 years ago (or so) and it STILL ranks as one of the greatest action/adventure/spy-thrillers I have ever read. One thing that some reviewers seem
incapable of doing with this novel is to check their believable
meters at the opening page of this novel and just relax and enjoy. I get tired of the over-critical reviewers who spew forth their rhetoric as though only THEY know what is good reading material and the rest of us ought to heed their council.
Is this novel believable? Nope. Is it entertaining? YES -- in a VERY BIG WAY. The action slingshot's the reader virtually from page one to the very end of this explosive thriller. To this day I can't think of another book which starts with such ferocity. This book doesn't just start, it get's LAUNCHED into motion...and you had better hold on tight, because it's nothing but twists and turns from there to the enormously entertaining end. Just exactly what does murdered bodies without heads, and heads without bodies have to do with a man who looks JUST like the person who murdered our protagonists father years before? I'd attempt to tell you, but this story is too complicated to do that in such a short amount of space that I have here, plus it'd give away way TOO much. This entertaining yarn gave me several days of pure
escapism-entertainment. I'm not the kind of person who reads a story just to pick apart the tiny microscopic problems...does the characters escape from perfectly impossible situations? Yes, on MANY occasions. But like James Bond escaping bullet's as though he applied 'Secret Agent Bullet Repellent' moments before dodging a dozen machine guns blaring at once, we KEEP watching because of one simple fact: The entertainment factor. With 'The Day After Tomorrow' Allan Folsom has created a tale that starts off with a bang, and keeps erupting into a full-scale nuclear explosion-of-a-plot. Fast...thrilling...and MOST important: FUN. If you can manage reading without being critical, set aside a weekend where you can be totally UN-interrupted, because once begun, you will NOT want to stop reading this runaway train of a novel. As I said, to this day, this ranks as one of THE best novels of it's kind I have ever read. As others have also noted, the VERY LAST LINE of this novel is worth the cover price alone...but you WILL RUIN the story if you jump ahead and read it...TRUST me, don't do it. HIGHLY recommended. Also, if you enjoyed this story, pick up something by Matthew Reilly...the ONLY other author I have ever read who could sustain action even longer than Allan Folsom. One more quick note, Folsom's next novel, 'Day of Confession' is GOOD, too--but NOT as good as 'The Day After Tomorrow'.

Summary: QHard to put down
Review: At first I assumed that the Day After Tomorrow was some sort of time travel novel. I picked it up for a couple of bucks ...and thought 'what the hey'. Little did I know that I had just picked up what would become one of my favorite books of all time.
This is not a sci fi or fantasy type book, however it does read like a movie. The action starts from page one and continues throughout the entire book. It's a real page turner in the best sense of the word. Even 'non-readers' will love this book. The plot is super-fast paced and the twists and turns are better than most movies.
My complaints about this book are few, but i'll list them to give a true review of the book. First, there is so much action and plot that sometimes it seems like there are too many characters and it can be a bit confusing sometimes. Folsom's remedy is usualy to kill a few off every now and then to keep the amount of charaters down. Unfortunately this is used a bit too much and the end of the book seems a bit hurried in his attempt to wrap up a lot of loose plot lines. But this is a small complaint and did not effect my enjoyment of the book.
Overall, you MUST read this book if you enjoy great literature. As I said, it's not sci fi or fantasy and it is not really even a mystery, it's just a great fiction book that everyone should have in their bookcase. You'll read it again and again. Trust me. It's wonderful.

Summary: Trains and boats and planes...
Review: If you find yourself faced with a long journey and feel tempted to buy this book, for pity's sake think again. The plot is based on a ludicrous premise, which (without giving too much away) you would have to have had your head sawn off, to believe. To add insult to injury, even though it is set in Europe, the combined forces of France, Britain and Germany's Intelligence are all depicted as too corrupt or goofy to solve the problem. That, of course, would take two Americans. The writer seems to have an unhealthy obsession with transport. Most of the book consists of characters jumping on-and-off trains, planes and taxis, described in rather too much detail. The two main characters have a wily-coyote-like ability to suffer a succession of burns, road accidents and shootings that would kill anyone else and rebound unscathed. I only hope that the 5 minutes of time I've invested in writing these few words will go some way towards redeeming the 10 hours I wasted reading the book, by saving others from doing the same.
