The Boys from Brazil Audiobook

" Riveting story and well told. The story of the Nazi’s cloning Hitler was interesting but also realistically frightening. "

" If you didn't read it until now, you'll be excused for thinking it's cliched - lots of other books and movies have mined the same themes. This came first. And it's entertaining. But I still found it a bit silly, and I'm not sure it's wearing well. "

" The first half of a 1-2 Ira Levin/Halloween punch for book club. It's a cracking good read, even if feels dated and kind of ludicrous. A couple of creepy moments. Perfect for the train. "

" Scarey idea - well done. "

" Gets you thinking on all sorts of subjects. Very intereting read. "

" Still relevant even though it has been written more than 30 years age .. "

" I read this in the 1970s or 1980s after seeing the film. "

" Excellent idea for a novel but Lieberman is a hard character to like. "

" Good suspense book "

" I was fascinated with the plot, but the characters, though interesting, still had much to be desired for. Sadly, my favorite character was one of the bodyguards. Whose name I can't really remember. But the book is written well, and certainly keeps you hooked. "

" Way ahead of its time in the cloning arguments. A lot like the movie though it does have more ethically thought provoking moments. Of course, I couldn't read it without seeing Olivier and Peck in the leads. "

" A great novel on the German Dr.Joseph Mengele and his quest for creating a new world of people.Definitely a genius but too ruthless.An interesting and educational read. "

" The perfect thriller. I can't say much without ruining it, but non-stop, expertly written, shallow entertainment! "

" This is a pretty solid little novel if you're looking for something kind of goofy to read. "

" This is a quick read. It's mildly disturbing, but the end is a bit flat. Read Rosemary's Baby! "

" Typical Ira Levin - gripping page-turner; this one had horrific undertones in its Nazi theme but it's good to be reminded of the horrors that await us at human hands if we let our guards down. "

" Another well crafted thriller from Levin. I was already aware of the premise from the film but enjoyed the characterisation the novel allowed. "

" Probably the first time I really read anything about cloning...and what a premise! "

" I thought the boys from brazil were the nazis but I was pleased to get caught up in an unexpected plot. Very good description of the era underpinned an exciting story. "

" My memory of this book is that it scared me to death, so it must have been a great thriller! :) "

" I still remember this wonderfully chilling story 50 years later. "

" Ira Levin is great! I raced through this - ageing Nazis coming out of hiding, an ageing Nazi hunter going back into battle and a worldwide plot which is DIABOLICAL! Gripping from the first chapter. "

" Really good stuff! Definitely one of those books that you want to know as little as possible about before going into it. "

" NAZI leaders hid safely (by the Catholic Church)in South America after The Holocaust was a book to keep me awake even if I didn't have insomnia. "

" I thought the boys from brazil were the nazis but I was pleased to get caught up in an unexpected plot. Very good description of the era underpinned an exciting story. "

" Levin knows how to craft a page-turner, no question. I already knew the somewhat silly "twist" of plot in The Boys from Brazil, and I'm sure that colored my enjoyment of the book a bit... but despite that, a solid thriller with some really creepy moments. "

" OMG, I loved it. Levin's language is just perfect. The last chapter takes your breath away. "

" eng idee dat zoiets best wel kan..... "

" Everybody knows the plot twist but it's still a dang fun read. I like those 70s potboilers. "

" Excellent book. Well written. Compelling story. "

" I read this book in grade 9 and used it for a book report. I remember that it totally blew my mind. Nazi's, genetic engineering, it's all there. "

" Levin wrote really gripping stories. Such fun to read, even if they are implausible. "

" This book is out of print, but if you can find it, read it. I looked for this for 7 years and finally found someone who let me borrow it. It not only lived up to, but exceeded those 7 years of anticipation. Involves the cloning of Hitlers. One of the best paced books I've read in a while. "
