Brotherhood of the Rose

Rating:
Summary: amazing
Review: I can't enough about how good this book is. I'm only fifteen and I think David Morrell is just a writer with an incredible talent that draws you into the book, making you love each and every character he gives you. I gave this book to my friend and she loves it too. Isn't it great how he appeals to such a broad range of people? The only word I can think of to describe this book is ~AMAZING~ nothing better.

Summary: Excellent
Review: I have bought the book about 6 years ago. And I have read for 25 times. with the same excitement each time. When you read the book you feel that you are in the scene

Summary: Morrell knows the spy game and he writes with authority.
Review: I have read at least three or four Morrell books, but I just recently caught up with this one. The pluses are that Morrell writes with an authentic eye to detail about spycraft and his characters are engrossing and lively. On the minus side, the book is too long (it flags at the end) and the ending does not satisfy. It implies that killing is the solution to one's problems, which I doubt is the case in real life. Instead of concentrating on imaginative ways to dispose of people, Morrell would do well to write a little more about the human condition and a little less about violence.

Rating:
Summary: Action!
Review: I quickly began to like the main characters in the story. The book had a lot of action and you looked forward to the the eventual confrontation. Good story.

Summary: I LOVED IT! SEVEN YEARS AGO AND I STILL LOVE IT!
Review: I read a lot of books and I have to say, some seven or eight years later I still recall with pleasure reading BROTHERHOOD OF THE ROSE for the first time. It was new and different; exciting and spellbinding, action-packed and filled with mystery. The characters were interesting and the story was just so good. I've read everything David Morrell's written (most recently FIFTH PROFESSION which I found missing the mark when compared to BROTHERHOOD OF THE ROSE) and I still think this the best. 2nd runners up are: FRATERNITY OF THE STONE and COVENANT OF THE FLAME. If you like spy stuff, or military intrigue (EYE OF THE NEEDLE?), you'll like it very much. What's my only complaint? That the book didn't last longer

Summary: Unbeatable
Review: I read this book about 10 years ago and this, along w/David Morrell's Fraternity of the Stone are still my top recommendations. Nothing has come close - even David Morrell's new stuff

Rating:
Summary: One of my all time favorites
Review: I strongly recommend this book. It was the first one I read by David Morrell and I read every single one after that. All of his are awesome.

Rating:
Summary: One of the fastest reads you'll find...
Review: I'm not sure you could fit more action into a book with only 360+ pages. Morrell's flashback to the early childhood of the characters really adds to the overall story because it makes you feel how betrayed they really are. Once the book really gets rolling, you won't be able to put it down. This is the first book of David Morrell's that I have read, but it certainly won't be the last. It'll even make you want to go grab a Baby Ruth when you're done reading. Once you've read it, you'll understand why.

Summary: Impossible to put down!
Review: I've given this book to four people. None of them were able to put it down. They all finished in a couple days. Get ready for a roller coaster ride you won't forget!

Rating:
Summary: Greatness possibly
Review: In my opinion, this is Morrell's best work as far as being full of action, plot twists, and the everpresent conspiracy that seems to be always at the bottom of things. Morrell never fails to portray his obvious knowledge of government and/or political operations to some extend...whether it be fictional or not. Entertainment at its best.
