Rating: Summary: MISSED WORK! LOST SLEEP! Review: I missed two days of work just to read this intoxicating thriller by Demille, not to mention countless hours of sleep. From the second sentence to the last page, I have never read so fast in my life! The Charm School is by far the best book in this universe. The effort for reading this book requires you to forget anything else in life. Bravo, Mr. Demille, bravo!
Rating: Summary: Excellent, Wonderful introduction to author Review: This was my introduction to Nelson Demille. I've read it several times over the years and it is still my favorite. I have to say that in all the reading I've done, Demille is the ONLY author I've read every title of his I can find.
Rating: Summary: Engaging and intense. An excellent suspense novel! Review: This is my first read of a DeMille novel but, certainly, not my last. The Charm School was very well written, engaging throughout as the plot twisted with every page. DeMille has an excellent touch, attentive to the reader's need to bond with the characters, to see through their eyes. All and all, an excellent piece of work
Rating: Summary: Best Book Ever! Review: This is by far the best book I have ever read. I have recommended it to all my friends and family, and they all agree. No one has ever been dispointed by The Charm School. After reading this book, you won't look at anyone (even your "friends") the same way again
Rating: Summary: I think this book demonstrates an ingenous in writing. Review: I think this book demonstrates an ingenous in writing that only a great writer can obtain. I read this book several years ago and I still recommend it to all my friends as a book they MUST read. I am still impressed by the overall thought process the author uses to demonstrate a fiction story that could actually happen. Every time I think of this book, it puts my mind into a whirlwind of thougt. Thank you Nelson Demille!
Rating: Summary: A great cold war thriller, but not much else. Review: This is book is excellant for a US vs. Russia cold war spy novel. If you long for the mid eighties, when a nuclear strike was seconds away and it is obvious who is good and who is not, this is your book. If you expect anything more, anything, then your making a big mistake
Rating: Summary: If you like KGB thrillers, don't miss this one! Review: This is by far the best of Demille's books. The characters are sassy, smart and likeable. A young american man is driving thru the Russian countryside and sees something he shouldn't. He then gets murdered. Employees at the American Embassy in Moscow have to find out why. What did he see? This book is a page turner
Rating: Summary: Awesome Review: One of the best books of all times. This book is the reason I am hooked on DeMill
Rating: Summary: My first book of Nelson Demille, and not the last!! Review: The Charm School was definetly a thriller! What if this
school truly exists?! I couldn't put it down - didn't want
it to end! Nelson Demille knows how to put the "fear" into
Americans - the story was so believable! You have to wonder
if it can really happen, not only Russia, but anywhere in
the world! Who knows, your neighber may be one of them!
Rating: Summary: A suspense filled fast-paced book all the way. Review: The charm school is an exciting and fast-paced action novel
which develops in the heart of the KGB capital of the world. MOSCOW.
Filled with espionage, intrigue and an insight into the secret service are just some of the features you will find in this magnificent
thriller. From the workings of the KGB to the counter-intelligence of the CIA, you will find it all
in the confines of the CHARM SCHOOL.
Demille is a masterful story-teller, who can narrate complex
tales of intrigue and spies so clearly that you can envision the
cold terrains of siberia as you read this wondeful book.
I would not give away any part of the book, since it is all
so wonderfully written, and should be experienced first hand
by anyone interested in a good book.
This one is a MUST MUST Read for everyone !!!
