Spandau Phoenix Audiobook

" Read this when it first came out & never forgot it. This says something. "

" WWII, Cold War, KGB, fiction intertwined w/ history, drama. I fall for it every time. "

" Spandau Phoenix was my first Greg Iles book. And I like his style. I just bought 6 more of his books at a used-book warehouse. It'll be hard to decide which one I'll read next. I could have given this book 5 stars if it had been a little more suspenseful. But it was still a fun read nonetheless. "

" plot, plot, plot, plot, plot. "

" This wasn't my favorite Greg Iles novel...seemed a bit over-the-top to me. I prefer his Penn Cage books. "

" This book got me into reading again, long ago "

" Good stuff, this dude can write "

" I love Greg Iles, and this was good - complex characters, complex plot, but it wasn't my favorite of his. "

" Very cleverly written with fact deeply woven into the fabric of this roller coaster tale. Those of us who have studied WWII really can appreciate the details. "

" The sequel to Black Cross, but the characters are much older. Not as spellbinding as Black Cross but still a very worthy read. Would be best to read the two books one after the other so you don't forget characters and can pick up right where you left off. "

" It was okay. Not nearly as gripping or page turning as his later works. But still not bad. "

" World War Two, awesome "

" One of my favorite books of all time. "

" Just loved this book. It was very well written and I loved the fact that he took real events and put fiction into it. I learned stuff from the 2nd World War's aftermath that I did not know. "

" Not as good as the rest of Iles' books "

" Black Cross was better. This one felt dragged out... who is Hess? What was the secret mission? One fluff character "Sparrow" was not needed (woman assasin). The last third of the book was very exciting. "

" Greg Iles is an excellent mystery writer. I've read all he's written with the exception of those novels he wrote under a pen name (I believe he used more than one). This is fiction. It would be interesting to know how much is true. "

" This is an MP3 listen. "

" His best book! "

" Worst one of his series "

" Too many subplots and too many characters. Really - British, Americans, Germans, Russians, Israeli, South African, Columbians and Cubans. Really!!???? Why didn't you throw in the kitchen sink? Oh, he did - Nazis and a nuclear bomb. I'll stick with Jack Higgins, he does better with less. "

" Other than being a little long, it was a great alternative history about the Nazi Hess. "

" Excellent novel. Just loved it. The plot is ingenious and the story moves like a freight train. Read this in one sitting-truly a remarkable book. "

" Eh....A little to cloak and dagger. Got pretty confusing with all the various parties. Also, not very believable.... "

" this was really tedious. there were many characters intertwined and the author kept up with all of them and their stories, but i got lost "

" It is a wow - ok, it can not keep me reading all the time, since there are heavy parts (ok, I am not a history person - at all - and also), but it is very good. Many lines run into the final outcome, let's wait and see. :) "

" Too much going on. Too many characters. Got confusing. Like his later books better. "

" This is a great book. I gave it to my friend and she is reading it now. Greg Iles is a great author. "

" I love Greg Iles, and this was good - complex characters, complex plot, but it wasn't my favorite of his. "

" Great theory on post-WWII Nazi affairs regarding Rudolph Hess. "

" One of my favorite books of all time. "

" A very complex story revisiting the 1941 "peace" visit that Rudolph Hess made to England. Was it a legitimate effort to enter into an alliance between England and Nazi Germany or the opening move in a vast conspiracy. Good story but too long. 700 pages. "

" I'd really like to give this 2 and a half stars. It wasn't terrible but it wasn't great. I thought it moved pretty slowly at times until near the end and then it began to speed up...a little. Again, not terrible but if you're looking for action/adventure, stick with David Baldacci. "
