Avenger (Abridged): A Thriller Audiobook

" Loved it - some sad bits, some good bits and some bits were facinating - all in all a great read "

" The book started with a fast pace describing different combat adventures in WWII, Vietnam, and the Bosnian wars. However, the tale bogged down as too much unneeded detail was added to each scene in the story. The Avenger ends up being a hire assasin that takes revenge for the grandson of his friend. I wish the pace and story line from the beginning could have followed through to the end. "

" Vietnam vet tunnel rat seeks out Serbian war criminal now employed by the CIA. "

" Great, exciting "can't put it down" book. That's it! "

" worth listening to twice. well spun, well read. "

" brilliant!! the last page made me read the whole book from the beginning again to see which twist i'd missed!! "

" I listened to 3 hours of this and basically the story hasn't started yet. Just a lengthy introduction of the characters. Goes back and forth in time. I lost my patience. "

" The story was excellent. But the character development, although interesting, took up about 65% of the book. Needs more story and less background. "

" ok.. ok... nice..... climax nice....but I didnt find it excellent or too good... "

" Quick start, fast read. Great plot. "

" Breezed thru the novel in a day and a half. Flowing story. Great characters. Forsyth revamped a cliche story of revenge into a one-man mission, without giving out a "B-rated" movie feeling. "

" Sometimes hard to get into, but better as you got further into the book. "

" Well, I learned a lot from this book, loved the protagonist and I was actually going to give it five stars if the author didn't make the stupid mistake of using the wrong name for "Persian Gulf". He was also unfair about the nature of Iran's intervention in Bosnia. "

" It is one of the good books written by Fredrick Forsyth. The real life facts given behind the plot is informative. Interesting one. "

" De la nada, hizo una maravilla. Admirable. "

" This is a griping novel. Must read. "

" Dont remember, yet I can cherish great experience when I read.. will read it once more "

" Thrilling but boring as well. "

" I believe I read/listened to this book before. Audio book. Listened to it while running. Great story. Loved all the different back-stories on each character. Nice bow on the story at the end. "

" Forsyth provides a better class of the airport suspense novel. "

" This is the kind of adventure story I really like. Forsyth is a good writer who even makes the political history background interesting. I wonder why I didn't like Critical Mass more? "

" This is a book with good start, great premise, but somehow went down towards the end. Not a bad book, but surely not Forstyth's best. "

" Intriguing tie in to 9/11. Get's a little too detailed, but a good read. "

" Great book. You may feel that the author gives too much context..trust me by the time context is valuable you will know why he rambled on. Nice book. "

" Not the best from Fredrick Forsyth. The first part is really interesting but ends abruptly as per me. But the plot is really cleaver, and always attention to details is amazing. For me this is a read once book. "

" A excellent read with a great twist at the end. A man taking justice into his own hands. "

" Audio Book. Cal Dexter does the impossible in a fun and entertaining way. He is avenging an American college student who was an aid worker in Bosnia. He does not kill but rather kidnaps the killer and returns him to the US where he will have to stand t "

" Great, exciting &quot;can't put it down&quot; book. That's it! <br/> "

" Excellent read! Riveting. Packed with historical information that was written in a way that thoroughly drew me in, while also maintaining a fantastic storyline and very vivid characters. "

" Breezed thru the novel in a day and a half. Flowing story. Great characters. Forsyth revamped a cliche story of revenge into a one-man mission, without giving out a &quot;B-rated&quot; movie feeling. "

" I listened to 3 hours of this and basically the story hasn't started yet. Just a lengthy introduction of the characters. Goes back and forth in time. I lost my patience. "

" I believe I read/listened to this book before. Audio book. Listened to it while running. Great story. Loved all the different back-stories on each character. Nice bow on the story at the end. "

" Forsyth at his best. Meticulous detail and a neat twist in the tail.... "

" I do enjoy spy, page-turning novels. Therefore I liked this book. Having said that, I think it is not among Forsyth's best. "

" a great read. found it hard to put it down. "

" I have to say that I didn't even think to rabout reading this book but somehow started to read it and couldn't stop. A really good action and great main character and his story. Really good. "

" This is quite simply the best book I have ever read. <br/> <br/>Forsyth writes cleverly at the best of times, but this is an extremely clever storyline that takes you on a journey from the Vietnam war through to the present day. A truly excellent read. "

" must be read before Cobra. <br/>Excellent build-up to predictable climax "

" Typrical of Frederick Forsyth's books. The structure is getting tired, though, since it is used by so many authors. Nowhere near the appeal of &quot;The Day of the Jackal.&quot; "
