Summary: If you served in Vietnam, you know De Mille writes the truth
Review: Nelson DeMille is in a class by himself.
No one writing today has captured the
essence of current headlines and then turned them into such fascinating fiction. In Word of Honor, DeMille puts us into
the rice paddies of Vietnam, letting us
experience what the G.I.'s went through.
If you want to know what Vietnam was
like, you have to read this book!

Summary: The best Nelson Demille book I have read!
Review: I could not put this book down! I practically read it in
one weekend! The courtroom drama was unbelievable - it kept
me on the edge of my seat!! I wanted to end it as quickly
as possible to find out what would happen to Lt. Ben Tyson,
but at the same time, I never wanted it to end!

Summary: an incredible book
Review: This is the best of DeMille's books. It is a story of powerful emotions and images. This is truely a story about a man who gives his word of honor to his men only to have them all break their word. The ending is powerful. I have re-read this book several times and get something new out of it each time. Don't hesitate, get this book today.

Summary: Not a run of the mill thriller
Review: This is a work of literature, with deep themes and flawed, yet heroic characters. Yes, it has a pulse-pounding plot and an ending that comes straight out of the thriller genre, but along the way this book pulls us all deeply into the issues of Vietnam, making us examine how we feel, and sweeping us up into a moving and powerful story. Of all the DeMille books, this is the best one to read, in my opinion.

Summary: This novel is huge, giant, awesome and then some.
Review: This novel is one of the most well crafted pieces of fiction I've ever read, it carefully and brilliantly intertwines a present day controversy with a torrid tale of misconduct in Vietnam. The mystery is revealed to the reader bit by bit while the protagonist is tugged left and right by various agencies of the government and his own family.
DeMille's style of writing gives a strong male protagonist that I can only suppose tends to reflect the authors own humor and sarcasm as well as honor, integrity and outlook on the world. He gives is opinion on many subjects, however, the often uncomprehendible stupidity of the government and its peter principle type workers come within the sights of his weaponized wit most often and with the greatest humor and insight.
I enjoy DeMille's writing because I like and root for his main characters, usually written in the first person he gives life to a person I'd like to call friend. The plots are always exciting and fast paced, page turning and well constructed. This work is now my second favorite, but only by a hair, behind The Gold Coast. Because it's a different kind of story, I can easily say that this work is the best of it's type I've ever read by far.
I strongly recommend this book to any that enjoy war type stories, lawyer type stories or simply stories about man's inner struggle to live honorably and still always do what's right in a sometimes cloudy world of law and justice. This is, to say again, a huge novel and one of the best I've ever read.

Summary: Great Book
Review: Just look for my name. You'll know 5 stars. Nelson DeMille is my favorite author. This book was great. I cried at the end. In typical DeMille fashion, the romantic relationship is moving; it is solid in a wierd loving kind of way like Upcountry. The main character -- Ben Tyson -- is fantastic. The reader is so torn between whats right and forgiveness. What more can I say. Just read it.

Summary: an incredible book
Review: This is a fantastic novel, the characters are practically three dimensional. Demille really knows how to write. This is a good book for a vacation, it's exciting yet has some depth to it, it's not just a pure thriller that moves along at the speed of light.
