Rating: Summary: Ultimately Boring Read Review: His book "Remote Control" was good, but this is just boring. In this book, McNab frequently goes into excruciating detail on sneaking, stalking, snooping and other military type activities. But instead of being interesting, there is simply too much detail and it ends up being tedious. So much so, that I found I needed to skip parts of pages and sometimes whole pages where nothing that advanced the plot was happening. I also found the ending to be poor, but I can't elaborate without spoiling it for others who decide to labour through this unsatisfactory book.
Rating: Summary: Action from British Point of View Review: I enjoyed the book but the author's excessive use of British terms (carriageway, torch, wagon intead of van, etc) sometimes became a distraction. I am used to most British slang but several times I had to just ignore a word when I neither knew it or nor could figure it out from the context. On the plus side, the storyline was plausible (no mad scientists with high-tech nukes plotting to conquer the world) and the main character (Nick Stone) was believable and made mistakes. Overall, an enjoyable book but readers should be warned to brush up on the British slang before reading.
Rating: Summary: Spooky reading after 9/11 Review: I guess the author was more worried about bin Laden that our leaders (and the rest of us). I didn't start reading the book until after the terrorist attacks of 9/11/2001. Once I got into the book I flipped back to front to see if it was written after the fact - nope, published in 2000.I had read Firewall previously and Crisis Four was about what I expected. It is a good read, but with some flaws. The main character can be far from the "Superman" lead in some books - in fact he some times makes so many mistakes that you figure that is why he is out of the service. Lots of detail from someone who seems to know which end is up. The ending leaves a bit to be desired. If you read the Amazon review, it will ruin the ending.
Rating: Summary: Brilliant, unforgettable piece of work, I LOVE IT! Review: I have been a McNab fan since his very first book and have read every one several times over and McNab gets better with every book he writes I have just finished Crisis Four for the second time and the story is his most gripping yet and the attention to detail is outstanding, so good in fact that it makes you wonder whether the events are real or close to real. It's just great and thrilling. I can't wait for the next Nick Stone instalment. Keep writing Andy! jou're doing a great job.
Rating: Summary: A brilliant, unforgettable piece of work Review: I have been a McNab fan since his very first book and have read every one several times over. I have just finished Crisis Four for the second time - the story is his most gripping yet and the attention to detail is outstanding, so good in fact that it makes you wonder whether the events are real or close to real. I read books like this all the time and did not figure out what Sarah was up to, (don't want to ruin it for those who have not read it yet). McNab gets better with every book he writes - I can't wait for the next Nick Stone instalment. Keep writing Andy!
Rating: Summary: Brilliant, just like Remote Control Review: I thought that this book was absolute class, I'm a big McNab fan and tend to get through his books in a couple of sittings. I loved his first two non-fiction books but as a story teller he has really proved himself. If you're reading this Andy, keep up the good work.
Rating: Summary: SIX STARS Review: I was blown away by Andy McNabb's last book "Remote Control" but this one is simply phenomenal! You just cant stop turning the pages, so don't start reading when you come home from the office (like I did) or you'll miss a night's sleep! KL.
Rating: Summary: What a great continuation! Review: If you liked Remote Control nearly as much as I did, then you will not go wrong here. This book continues with the unpredictable characters, edge of your seat reading. Like Remote Control, you will not be able to put this down, so don't start reading unless you have lots of time to devote to it. I hope McNab has several more books in the works.
Rating: Summary: 5 star fiction - or fact! Review: Just finished the brilliant Crisis Four - can anyone help me with this - it's writen so convincingly, every detail seems real - it makes me wonder, did this, or something like this, really happen to Andy McNab?
Rating: Summary: Great,Great,Great! Review: Just Great! the tension in this book is incredible and you're wondering if the events are real or close real. One of the best books i've ever read.
