Rating: Summary: Whose Death in the Tunnel? Review: I thought the book was sick and horrifying. The only--debateable--merit it had was proving how easy it would have been to arrange her death, while making it look like a case of drunk driving.
Rating: Summary: INTRIGUED Review: Intrigued. Amazed. The concept is possible. All of these emotions crossed my mindset after reading Whose Death in the Tunnel. The concept is almost beyond the bounds of reality. But, in today's world, nothing is impossible. My imagination is taking me beyond the story. Aaron Becker obviously has some insight that has allowed him to embellish this sensational story. I enjoyed the descriptive European flavor and the fresh concept of the plot, fiction based on fact.
Rating: Summary: A Great Read Review: The melancholy style of the first pages juxtaposed against and the action packed progression of the story itself intensified my fascination with this book. The plot accurately follows Diana's activities during the last year of her life and suggests that Diana's "death" was not a mere accident. This story is not an account of Diana's life. Instead, it is a spell binding, action driven plan for Diana to change her identity. The complex characterizations of Adam and Elizabeth, the individuals who organize and carry out this plan for Diana, make me wonder if they are real people instead of fictional creations in the author's imagination. The characterization of Jennifer as self-centered and conniving made me feel as though she received what she deserved. The story offers everything: brutal murder; deceit; compassion; humour; sex; insight into relationships; not to mention a great read.
Rating: Summary: ?A CANNOT-PUT-IT-DOWN-ER? Review: The reviewer from Eugene Oregon enticed me to read Aaron Becker's "novel" about Princess Diana's scheme to change her identity. As it was for the Oregon reader, the story was a "cannot put it down-er" for me. Mr. Becker's account answers many questions that have lingered in my mind since Diana's accident and brings new insight into the circumstances surrounding her supposed death. I found Becker's plot fast-moving and compelling. The character development was complex. At first I felt sorry for Jennifer but, with time, grew to hate her. The complexities of the lives of Adam and Elizabeth and the horrors they endured provided much interest. From personal experience, I could relate to the uncomfortable relationship that developed between Adam and Jennifer, and I could not help but to feel sorry for Adam. Martin is some kind of a guy. At first, I saw him only as a hit man and was surprised to see the gentle side of him evolve. Gerard is a young man I would like to meet. I chuckled to myself time and again as he maneuvered everyone and everything to accomplish his goals. Mr. Becker my hat goes off to you. Your style is fresh and thought provoking. I, too, join the ranks of other readers awaiting your next novel.
Rating: Summary: Not all but some questions answered Review: The ride is great. The European flavor a welcome quality. I have never before read a book by Aaron McCallum Becker. If this is a first novel, I wait with positive anticipation for his next. The idea that Diana arranged for a new identity is fascinating, and the caper itself is even better. Finally, I have gathered some answers to some of the questions that have plagued me. Like what happened to the Fiat and why Diana's body never laid in state. The account of her brother seems true to his personality, and the positive account of the Fayed family is reassuring. I am uncertain of how much fact runs within these pages, but whether the story is fact or fiction, it is a must read. Whose Death in the Tunnel? is one of those novels that is impossible to put down.
Rating: Summary: Mystery Thriller, but not much information about Diana Review: This book started out with some horrible writing, but after getting thru the first couple of poorly written chapters, I was hooked on the premise and the plot, and stayed up late finishing the book. Ex-CIA agent and his almost identical sister run an international operation to help people disappear and start a new life with a new identity, with the story about the latest client, Princess Diana, in a scheme which parallels the final public days of the real Princess Diana. Unfortunately, although the book was interesting to read, the story did not tell very much about Diana as a person.
Rating: Summary: ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! Review: This book was very hard to put down .It gives you a totally different look at what might of happened.The author takes the facts and creates a story that ended in tradgedy.As he twists and turns you begin to wonder if Diana would have gone to these extremes to protect her privacy. While I quite beleive she is no longer with us,I must say that this book was different from all I've read and a pleasure to view another viewpoint.A must read for those Diana fans who seem to keep re-reading her life story with different words and diferent authors. Thank you Mr. Becker
Rating: Summary: Interesting idea, horrible book Review: This is, by far, one of the most poorly written books I've ever read, and I resent those of you (apparently friends of the author) who wrote glowing reviews. I want my money back.
