Word of Honor

Rating:
Summary: THEY DON'T WRITE EM' LIKE THIS ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This book is a Tour De Force. The premise of the past coming back to haunt you is something that many people can surely identify with. A gut wrenching kick in the stomach that is completely fulfilling! This book IS Nelson DeMille's best-so far anyway.

Rating:
Summary: Outstanding glimpse of history and our national soul!
Review: With some doubt about reading the novel I started and couldn't put it down. With present conditions balanced with literary flashbacks, Demille provides a continually unfolding understanding of the events and characters of the story. Excellent character development, wonderfully humorous, entertaining, and yet thoughtful and thought-provoking. I have read three Demille novels and I will read all of the others.

Summary: WOW! Demille's best!
Review: ... and that's really saying a lot! I'm a rabid Demille fan, and have loved almost all of his books. But Word of Honor completely blew me away. I didn't move from my chair from the time I picked up the book until I finished it. If you don't read anything else THIS YEAR - read this! You won't regret it.

Summary: One of Demille's best !!
Review: With this book, I have now come full circle in the world of Nelson Demille, and I would have to say that it is tied for first place (with The Charm School) as my favorite Demille novel. Of course, trying to pick your favorite Demille novel is like lining up 10 exotic sports cars and asking which one you would like to drive... I eagerly await the next publication!!!

Summary: A tour de force!
Review: Best book I've ever read ... on multiple levels. Resonates with Arthur Koestler's Darkness at Noon. This book will be read one-hundred years from now.

Summary: Forget Charm School and Gold Coast - This is his best
Review: My first exposure to Nelson DeMille was this book and it is, by far, his best. While later novels have been great reads and often unique settings, the character of the protaganist and the unraveling of the truth in this novel made it impossible to put down. Remarkable VietNam era story.

Rating:
Summary: Don't read this book....If
Review: ....... you have anything else to do...because you won't do it When you've read the final page you'll be very disappointed that it's over. Then take a long break before starting another novel...it simply will not live up to Word of Honor. If you need a novel to manifest why you like to read...this is the paragon.

Rating:
Summary: Powerful!
Review: Nelson DeMille has a rare gift for writing that puts you through every emotion imaginable and leaves you wishing for more. Word of Honor may be his finest hour and would make a Oscar caliber movie.
You cant help but become attached to his characters and Ben Tyson is no exception. You share his feelings of pride, honor and guilt. This book will tear at you, upset you and ultimately make you whole.
If only Nelson DeMille would write more frequent novels... But, then you cant rush perfection.

Rating:
Summary: It doesn't get any better than this.
Review: By far the finest novel I have ever read. It actually had me gasping out loud in parts , and crying in others. Demille only has one fault, and that is he doesn't write enough books.All of his novels are 10s but Word of Honor blows away anything I have ever read, and I read a lot of books

Rating:
Summary: A most exciting book about human stresses of war and peace.
Review: You don't really read this book....rather, the words 'jump' off the page as if you are watching a movie. Few authors have the talent Nelson Demille consistently displays in his books---and 'Word of Honor' is certainly one of his best. From the very beginning he makes you care about people and places you never even gave a second thought about. Like a great movie, you become glued to your 'reading seat' .....nevertheless, you don't mind putting the book down because it extends your presence in such a gripping story of human relationships in times of great stress. Such was the Vietnam war. You will laugh and you will cry as you discover the explosive, the caring, and the real man Lt. Ben Tyson was. Do yourself a favor....read it before they make the movie
