Rating:  Summary: Blah Review: I guess it doesn't surprise me that the intellectual level of what one assumes must be an average SAS operator is fairly low. Given the political dirtbags who run such agencies these days, McNab probably quite accurately represents the conformity of thought and uncritical mindset of killers for hire.Tradecraft? Well, I'd love to see a veteran OSS operative run circles around this bozo. It's an interesting read if only for a look into the British soul. It reminds me once again why I feel revulstion towards most Brits; so thank you, McNab. As a purely technical criticism, directed more to the editors than the author, it's always a good idea to have an ending in a book. This one just sort of stops.... Maybe the last couple chapters got lost somewhere?
Rating:  Summary: WOW! Review: I absolutely could not put this book down! McNab has a gift for writing action. The tradecraft sure sounds believable to a civillian like me. The characters are a bit cardboard-like, and I wonder how much time McNab has spent with children, but who cares? I was completely sucked in from the first page. The fight in the PIRA office in DC is a stunner, and it's not even the best part of the book. I'm looking forward to McNab's next effort.
Rating:  Summary: Remote Control Review: Remote Control was one of the best books I ever read. I couldn't put it down. It involves an SAS agent named Nick Stone who flies to the States to find his best friend and family murdered. The only one who survived is Kelly, his friend's daughter. They have to evade the police, which takes them all over the East Coast. As soon as they think everything is finally okay and they're in the clear,.....well, you'll just have to read it! Awesome book!
Rating:  Summary: The best book, Andy has ever written! Review: Remote control, is about a special K soldier called Nick Stone. Nick is on a secret mission in the USA, when his best friend and his family are murdered. The only one left in the family is a seven year old girl called Kelly. Nick and kelly, are being chased around the USA, trying to find safety. But who is friend and who is foe?
Rating:  Summary: Awesome Review: This is one of the best books I've ever read. The author clearly is an expert at spy stuff. There was one part where he disabled a motion detector with a clock and an egg carton, and there was another time when he blew up a house with ordinary kitchen materials. And the plot was really great. The way he depicted all of the espionage stuff was excellent. This is a really great book.
Rating:  Summary: Daring, Emotional, Inspriring, and Realistic!!! Review: Andy McNab's " Remote Control " is the greatest compelling story of real-life action in the world of Espionage, Politics, Terrorism, and Corruption. So far, it is "The Best of the Best".
Rating:  Summary: Excellent Review: As a highschool student i had to read a fictitious work by a British author. I am extremely glad that i let my friend talk me into reading Remote Control. It was one of the best books i have ever read, and i am thinking of keeping it rather than sell it to my teacher (she offered to buy it from me since the local library did not have a copy yet and i had to purchase it). It makes me feel sorry for the library that they do not have such an excellent book.
Rating:  Summary: probably the best book of its genre! Review: For totally raw, in your face, absorbing, thriller action this book is a must. Most definatly the best book I have read. Although a little formula in plot it doesn't really matter. The only book I have read twice ... the ending is something else! enjoy
Rating:  Summary: An amazing book that everyone should read. Review: Brilliant! Superb! I could not put it down, and read it in just under six hours. Non stop brilliance and action.
Rating:  Summary: incredible and unpredictable Review: this book had a twist that you would never expect, and all of mcnab's experience really adds on to the quality of the book. There was one incedint where he blows up a house with normal kitchen materials, and another when he nutrelizes a motion sensor with a clock and a milk carton. He also said in an interview that all of the experiences had actually happened to him.
