Thai Horse

Rating:
Summary: Thai Horse is a great adventure-read
Review: Although he makes a few technical errors (he's not Tom Clancy), the author is able to convince readers that Christian Hatcher is a real former secret agent/assassin with a conscience and sense of duty and what's right. The bad guys are truly evil and deserving of the death he gives them, the women are beautiful AND intelligent, the action is fast moving, the descriptions lush and accurate.

Rating:
Summary: Outstanding writing
Review: As you read this story you will find that Christian hatcher is a man that was pulled from his prision cell to complete his role in the middle of a large and complex puzzle of spies thieves and drug lords. This story moves like a well written movie, all the splendor of the orient are displayed here. William Diehl one of the best modern writers outdoes himself, he creates a world that captures the imagination and takes the reader beyond excitement. The book is a must read for lovers of action hero types. Christian hatcher can match wits with Sherlok Holmes, has the finesse of James Bond and the destructive indifferent side of the terminator, three traits that are very difficult to mesh together in a single story or character. To william Diehl, thank you for writing such a captivating book, Outstanding writing, keep up the good work.

Summary: On my list of the best
Review: I have a handful of books I can't keep around, because when I loan them out, they are so enjoyed, nobody returns them. "Thai Horse" is such a book. I have a diverse group of friends, and no matter their reading interests, all were riveted by this book. Diehl created a realistic protagonist, with virtues and flaws, questions and answers. There is action, suspense, depth, love, and fear. The settings make for engaging reading, as do the dialogues and complex relationships between characters. Unquestionably Diehl's best book.

Rating:
Summary: Not that Great
Review: Interesting characters but drawn out without much plot and a lack luster ending.

Rating:
Summary: Horse Play
Review: The plot line, story and characters were good I just couldn't get into the book due to the writers (Diehl) style of writing. I had first read 'The Hunt' by Diehl and noticed it then but I thought I would give Diehl another chance especially with the plot line which interested me enough to try it. Diehl goes off on tangents and has very long sentences.

Very tough to read. I will not read another Diehl book.

Rating:
Summary: The most action packed book ever!
Review: This book captures the mind from cover to cover. Hatcher is the epitomy of a true warrior. He is the definition of a self-made man.

Rating:
Summary: Excellent
Review: This is my 1st William Diehl book. I didn't think I would like it at all as it revolved around the Vietnam war in the beginning (I thought it was a war story) but I got so wrapped up with the character Hatch, that I had to know why he was where he was and how on earth he would get out of Los Boxes! Hatch became our hero and if Cody was alive we knew Hatch would find him and do the right thing no matter what Sloan had planned for maybe both? I can see an excellent action/thriller movie out of this story the plot is twisting and turning and you wonder why the author is introducing new characters (or old)and how is all comes together (brilliantly) at the end. We could fell Hatch's pain with Daphne but I won't give the story away. All I can say is read the book. I am looking forward to reading more of William Diehl.

Summary: WOW
Review: THIS IS PROBABLY THE ONLY BOOK THAT I READ IN 2 DAYS. THE BOOK JUST CAPTURES YOU. WILLIAM DIEHL DOES A GREAT JOB ON THIS ONE. AS I WAS READING THE BOOK IT FELT AS IF I WAS WATCHING A MOVIE. EACH SCENE DREW OUT IT'S OWN PICTURE THAT CONNECTED TO EACHOTHER AT THE END. AWSOME.
