Rating: Summary: Horrifying at times Review: ...This book has it's moments, it starts out well and keeps your attention for awhile. In the end it starts to unravel the best moments are the groin stabbing demise of one of the villians, and the other good death scene is another villian goes plummeting of a cliff girating and sreaming...
Rating: Summary: I love this book! They can't get any better Review: Although this book is a little shorter than his usual writings, I think it is another great representation of how awesome an author David Morrell is.His thrillers have been great through the end and this one is no exception. Peter Houston, looking for his father's grave, finds hidden secrets that are revealed throughout the book. Make sure you read this outstanding book from the great thriller writer we have all grown to love, David Morrell.
Rating: Summary: Not recommended Review: As a long-time Morrell fan, I can tell you there are much better Morrell books out there. The book is short, so if you want a quick read, it may help you pass a few hours, but I recommend trying out First Blood, Testament or Last Reveille first.
Rating: Summary: Not one of Morrell's best. Please read his others. Review: David Morrell once again proves he can beat Clancy any day with the intruiging BLOOD OATH. Unlike his other books, BLOOD OATH dosen't have a ton of voilence. There is an intruiging plot, but the first 50 pages go slowly. There are a lost of twists & turns, but the book previals.
Rating: Summary: One of Morrell's most non-violent books, but still good! Review: David Morrell once again proves he can beat Clancy any day with the intruiging BLOOD OATH. Unlike his other books, BLOOD OATH dosen't have a ton of voilence. There is an intruiging plot, but the first 50 pages go slowly. There are a lost of twists & turns, but the book previals.
Rating: Summary: Pretty good, but definitely not his best. Review: David Morrell writes some truly excellent action/thriller novels. I have always found his work difficult to put down, just as this one was. However, this book had one of the lamest endings that he has ever contrived. It just left me unsatisfied, as the main bad guy just kind of dies in a random fashion while running around in his cheesy vampire outfit. It just was not up to par with what I expect from Morrell
Rating: Summary: Don't read it at supper or you'll go to bed hungry. Review: Having read and thoroughly enjoyed one David Morrell novel I purchased all of his books that I could find. Some I found readable, some I could not put down. Blood Oath I could not finish. Surely there is some mistake - did he really write this?

Rating: Summary: Hell bent on revenge. Not survival. Review: I read this, wanting to love it. While I will check out more of David Morrell, I didn't look at this as a novel of survival, but of hell on wheels revenge, and with no consequences. The setting in France was awesome. Takes you to a different place in the world. I thought it was a good attempt of a "kill or be killed" kind of book, but after awhile, I just didn't see it in that light at all. So, in closing I can say that I'll give Morrell another shot. I loved the Rambo movies and would love the chance to read "First Blood" or something that will stick out so I can further read his material. In saying that, the Rambo movies were also movies motivated by revenge, but it wasn't the point Morrell was trying to get across. It was hard for me to give this only 3 stars. But as a man who makes up his mind and sticks to his guns, that's all I can give it. Maybe next time.
Rating: Summary: Don't read it at supper or you'll go to bed hungry. Review: Morrell is my favorite outhor and he thrilled me again with this book. I didnt want to put it down and have read it over several times.
