Black Sunday (Abridged) Audiobook

" This first novel by the writer who gave us Hannibal Lecter and Red Dragon still packs a punch--terrorist plot to bomb the Superbowl from a blimp. "

" Another good chiller thriller from Thomas Harris. This is the book the significant others should be reading while their mates are watching the Super Bowl. Nothing that happens in the football stadium will begin to approach edge-of-your-seat drama in this book. "

" Wish this guy was still writing! "

" This started out surprisingly great, and then completely fizzled at the end. I won't say more than that for the sake of spoilers, but overall it's quite disappointing. "

" Solid political thriller with well-developed characters. Depressingly, even though this book was published nearly 40 years ago, its portrayal of Arab-Israeli tensions doesn't feel in the least bit dated. And, post 9/11, the plot device of an airship being used to commit mass murder doesn't seem nearly as far-fetched now as it may have at the time. Harris does a ton of research before each novel, and it shows in this book. The ending of the book feels a bit rushed and predictable, but Harris's strong, sometimes lyrical, prose raises this above standard fare. "

" This is my favorite Harris novel. Thrilling to say the least. "

" Though this is the author's first book, it's the last one I've read of all of his. It shows his talent well, as did "Silence of the Lamb." It also highlights the fact that in Hannibal Rising that he seemed to be more trying to write a story that would eventually be a movie, where here in Black Sunday he was writing a book for its own sake - and it makes for a better story. "

" Black Sunday is about terrorists that plan to bomb the Superbowl in America. The first part of the book progressed very slowly and was a bit difficult to get into. "

" The terrorism spin to this book gives it a shockingly scary bump in relevance, to what was an older book. "

" Pretty escapist, and good in the car. PLO wants to use blimp to blow up Super Bowl as terrorist strike. Surprisingly un-dated, considering 9/11 stuff we know of now. "

" Harris's first book. It shows some of his promise but has some weaknesses. Still, it was enjoyable. "

" a bit slow at first, but built up into quite a thriller with a realistic/believable ending...I give him kudos for not taking the easy way out.. "

" A terrorist plot against the Superbowl. It could happen ... "

" The book starts with a kitten being chopped up in a garbage disposal...while alive. Ugh. "

" It was alright. Not amazing, I far preferred the Hannible series. It wasn't bad overall, but I found it a touch boring. "

" Took a while to get into the story but by about half way through I couldn't put it down. "

" Very smart and intriguing mystery/ suspense book. I don't read a lot of these, but I'd recommend this to anyone. "

" For a first book it was pretty good. "

" This was a great book that kept me spellbound and gritting my teeth in the late 70's as the terrorists' plot to kill 80,000 fans attending a Super Bowl game and agents work to foil the plot. I'll let you find out who wins out. "

" Suspensful, quick read. Not as good as Silence of the Lambs, but it would be hard to beat that book! "

" Very disappointing. However, I really enjoyed Harris' Hannibal Lecter series! "

" Aweful, and not just because it doesn't contain the character of Hanniba Lecter. Just a dissapointing read for a Thomas Harris Fan. "

" Read the first version, if this is another, and it opened my eyes to the danger all around us. "

" Not his best at all. But then again it is is first. "

" Not my kind of book. "

" I thought I'd never finish this book! I loved Red Dragon and The Silence of the Lambs, but this one just did not grab me. The sad thing is that other than some technology advances, everything in this book could be true today. "

" Pretty good thriller. I think the movie ended a bit differently though. Isn't T. Harris the creator of Hannibal the cannibal? "

" This was a great book that kept me spellbound and gritting my teeth in the late 70's as the terrorists' plot to kill 80,000 fans attending a Super Bowl game and agents work to foil the plot. I'll let you find out who wins out. "

" I really, really enjoyed this. Thomas Harris never leaves a dull moment and tells a highly suspenseful, entertaining story that i recommend to anyone. "

" A good book to read after you just finished a lousy book "

" This book/flic made quite the bang when it came out. It'sa good beach read or well I'd say for the plane trip, butmaybe not.Now we know why bother with all the darts and things, justfly a plane into it. "

" Suspensful, quick read. Not as good as Silence of the Lambs, but it would be hard to beat that book! "

" I enjoyed this book - it was a page turner and a good read - but it was clearly early Harris - character development gets a whole lot better in Red Dragon and he hits both plot and character out of the park in SOL... "

" His other books are far superior. "

" Pretty well written pscho-terrorist drama with interesting but one dimensional characters. "

" Very smart and intriguing mystery/ suspense book. I don't read a lot of these, but I'd recommend this to anyone. "

" It was alright. Not amazing, I far preferred the Hannible series. It wasn't bad overall, but I found it a touch boring. "

" Tough read, kept waiting for the action and it never really came. "

" Read the first version, if this is another, and it opened my eyes to the danger all around us. "
