Good one. It clearly shows that book is recommended to all the readers who are interested in mystery and suspense stories. This review balance the good and bad points of the story together so wisely as this review had honesty commented on the dialogue structure and description as well.

An interesting sequel to a great WWII spy novel. The consistency of the characters and the development of the plot makes the reader want to read the third installment. Well done.

Looking forward to seeing how this book continues. I glad to hear that it is easily engaging, but I'm hoping that the dialogue won't be too bad.

Great review! I'm surprised a book would go there so quickly into the terrifying yet real world of child trafficking. I could only wonder how they deal with it and whether it is dealt with a gentle or heavy hand. Interesting book, though I don't know if I'll ever get to it.

This is a well-written review! Reading the sample got my attention. There weren't any cliches and the description of the boats seemed to come from someone who understands it. I don't know much about ships, so I was a little lost at first, but the dialogue started early and drew me in.

Thanks for a detailed review that highlights the good parts and weakness of the story. It must have been good writing since the author managed to incorporate humor into a story dealing with war and child trafficking.

From the review, I already like the character of Jacko and his tracking skills. I also like that the characters are well fleshed out. Great review.

Latest Review: The Infinite Passion of Life by D.J. Paolini

Post by Shrabastee Chakraborty »

Thanks for the review, I found it very well thought-out. It is a given that the adventures and the thrill of the investigations will appeal to me, but the two parts of the book, one dealing with finding out the criminals and the other dealing with the task of tracking them were quite interesting. Another point you mentioned is absolutely true that is we don't talk like we write. Generally in most of the stories, the dialogue is what propels me forward, while the descriptions part makes me slower. It is curious that in this book it is reversed. However, I am already reading the previous book and after that I'll continue with this one.

Thank you for the detailed review. I just don't see myself reading a book with this plot. It is interesting though to know what happened after the world war. But not my cup of tea. Kudos for a job well done though.

Here's a story set in Australia in the aftermath of WWII. Two army generals are caught up in the hunt of the criminals behind child trafficking. The book also gives the reader a treat of the Australian and Philippines sights and sounds throughout the story. Too bad about the unnatural dialogues, but besides that, a great read!

I've read chapter one of this book, I can't wait to read the second part. It's detailed and I most certainly relate to Jacko. my only issue is that when reading a true event story based on another country might be a bit hard to comprehend.
