No Comebacks Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Very interesting stories. Good to read while travelling:) "

" This is one of the best books ever written. I absolutely love "The Emperor" This book left me hungering for another short story fest with Mr Forsyth but alas it was not to be. I have read this book many times and find old hardcover copies to give as gifts. "

" 5 short stories - inventive, brilliant and in the spirit of O'Henry. The overall theme of Forsyths stories is Justice - with a big J. "

" A collection of short stories all resulting in some ironic twist in the end. I love the way Mr. Forsyth crafts his tales where fine details are intricately woven around a suspenseful plot. My favorite short was . The only setback in these stories was the predictability of each outcome most likely a result of watching too much CSI. Great writer, though. "

" All the krimi stories were really impressive with surprising end. But two last - "A Careful Man" and "Sharp Practice" weren't really krimis and I knew from the beginning how this story ends. "

" I started this one but didn't get to finish it. However: these stories, written largely in the 1970's, are a LOT of fun! Very exciting read. I will finish this one soon, I hope. (Tip: Check out Forsyth's 'The Afghan' and 'The Veteran'). "

" Murgatroyd!! "

" Fairly lightweight material as Forsythe goes. A set of forgettable stories, not up to his usual standard. Beyond his novels, Forsythe can produce very engaging shorter works (as proven by a "The Veteran" and "The Art of the Matter") but this set is not of that calibre. "

" the first short story in the book, "no comebacks" will stun you, well, you cant stop reading the others after the 1st one! "

" A solid collection of short stories, each with a nice twist. A masterful storyteller. "

" I would have given 5 stars for the first story. One of the most brilliant ones I have read. "

" from dads collection. this one is a guys novel, but with ten short stories, it makes for a great read. "

" class of a book by the master!! "

" This is a terrific set of short stories...just proves that the master is very capable in this format too!! "

" Very good short stories by Frederick Forsyth. "

" I love this author. I don't remember the stories. "

" Forsyth again proves his mastery in story telling by this collection of stories. Every story carries the mark of Forsyth. "

" Fun short stories, all based on "justice" as Forsyth sees it. "

" I have never been a fan of the short story. I picked this up and was hooked on page one. All the stories are excellent and no two are the same. I would highly recommend this book. The story called The Emperor will be one that stays with me a for years. "

" A collection of wonderful, unforgettable short stories. Some, like the title story, appear to be studies or sketches for full-length novels. Others, such as "Used in Evidence," are perfect gems, with nothing more to be added. "

" the first short story in the book, "no comebacks" will stun you, well, you cant stop reading the others after the 1st one! "

" Interesting stories, in which always there was a twist. My favourite ones are: No Comebacks, There Are No Snakes in Ireland, A Careful Man. This lattest was especially good, I believed that I found out the twist, but (of course) I did not :), instead I was gaped ... oooooo ... "
