To Catch a King

Rating:
Summary: mostly forgettable Jack Higgins fiction
Review: Higgins can write a suspenseful novel, especially when it involves World War II, but To Catch a King doesn't really measure up. Characters and plot are pretty simplistic, and there just isn't much going on in this book.

Summary: Solid Job by Author
Review: I have always liked Jack Higgins. This was another of his fast paced, easy to read stories. You can always count on him for a good story. I think this was the period of time when we used another name and was really pumping the books out. The one thing you have to keep in mind when reading his books is that they are meant to forget about your problems and just get into the story. He fills the books with a lot of good details and action but this is not Steinbeck.

Summary: Christopher Lee rocks!
Review: The story itself is an exciting one, but the very best thing about this audio version
is the dynamic reading given by Mr. Lee. Embracing the opportunity to show off
the amazing versatility he so rarely gets to display in his film roles, he plays heroes, heroines, nazi baddies, young, old, and about two dozen characters and dialects in between.
A virtuoso performance!!
