Rating:  Summary: Disappointing, even for Summer fare Review: It is rare that a plot turn is so awful, so hackneyed, so deus-ex-machina, so Wagnerian that it takes me by surprise. The ending of this book contains such a plot twist. I had to put the book down, blink, pick it up, and reread the relevant paragraphs to convince myself that the author really was being so pathetic. SW starts as harmless adolescent fantasy, as do many books in the spy-thriller genre, and ends by leaping in front of a speeding train labeled "cliche".
Rating:  Summary: Riveting! Spell-binding! Without a doubt, one of the best! Review: SNOW WOLF is clearly equal to Ludlum and Forsythe novels. It read like a film running through my head, visually clear and exciting. I read it in two sittings - next to impossible to put down.
Rating:  Summary: One of the best books I've read Review: Snow Wolf, is not your typical thriller. It is a thinking-man's book. Unlike a Jack Higgins, which only skims the surface of spy books, Snow Wolf goes deeper than you'd expect. Glenn Meade did his homework and it shows. At times, it was hard to believe that this was a fiction novel, and not a history book! The author really makes you feel like you are in Lubyanka Prison. Truly chilling at times. A masterpiece.
Rating:  Summary: GREAT NOVEL. ONE OF A KIND Review: Although I thought it started slowly it quickly gathered my attention. This novel makes you think about all the events that we seem to have doubts about. Did one man kill Kennedy. Did Hitler commit suicide. How did Stalin die, are a few nagging questions many would like to know the REAL truth about. In this book Glenn Meade gives us an idea of what MIGHT have happened to Joseph Stalin. Glenn Meade blends his story with enough historic figures and locales to give it a touch of realism. At the end of this novel you will be saying to yourself aloud, "WOW, I wonder if that really happened". I find myself thinking about 'Snow Wolf' even though I have read other books since. I just hope Glenn Meade will satisfy us with another novel of this kind soon.
Rating:  Summary: One of the greatest suspense reads ever! Review: This book is one of the best suspense novels ever! I had no inkling of what was going to happen before it did. It was never disappointing and the link to historical facts is absolutely believable. Definitely worth the money!
Rating:  Summary: a must read book Review: from the opening moments this book catches your interest.for those of you that are interested in the cold war era or spy work this is for you.a terrific book
Rating:  Summary: A lazy attempt at writing a thriller. Go back to Tom Clancy. Review: Glenn Meade depends on too many coincidences to advance the plot of this Cold War thriller. President Eisenhower asks how to stop a plan to kill Stalin when events spiral out of control. The simple answer is simply to put the book down, or grit your teeth until the end of this implausible tale for the limited joy of listing all of Meade's historical inaccuracies. You're better off with the classic thriller writers
Rating:  Summary: A great read Review: This book gives us one more reason to believe hoe joseph satlin was murdered. They say he died of natural death but this book will make you think twice.A great read. I lost travk of time while reading this book.
Rating:  Summary: A page turner. Better than Ludlum or Trevanian. Review: Meade has written a winner, in my opinion. I could not putthe book down and especially like the way he kept the actiongoing chapter after chapter. Meade blends a fictional story line with tidbits of historical facts ala James Michener. He (Meade) quickly develops the characters, but keeps some twists and turns to the last chapters which sneak up on the reader. The book is well written and fast pace.
Rating:  Summary: Meade is superb! Review: I was entranced by Meade! One of the reasons I enjoyed this book so much, is that it is not writen like every other thriller! Meade varried from the "normal" plot line and writing style of most thrillers from this genre and I think it paid off. It appears to me from reading the reviews posted here that you either love it or hate it...there is no inbetween. If you are looking for a book that follows all of the typical spy novel rules...then SNOW WOLF is not for you. If you are willing to read a different type of intrigue that does not include super-human spies and every cliche imaginable that also requires a deeper mental ability, then this is the book for you!
