The Chancellor Manuscript (Abridged): A Novel Audiobook

" my favorite of all his books "

" I have loved every Robert Ludlum book that I've read. Excellent characters and plots! "

" This was the first Robert Ludlum (Bourne Identity) that I read. His early books are great suspense novels. I enjoyed the first couple of Bourne Identity books but the later ones have a lot of violence. "

" This is my favorite Ludlum book of all time. I devoured it. It has a bit of historical fiction in it but stays the espionage course as well. I would rate it "R" if it were a movie due to language and some scene description but it's a great read if you like spy novels. Ludlum is a master storyteller. "

" This was a real page turner for me. Did a lot of reading while I sat in the Desert of Saudi Arabia for many months. This was my favorite book "

" I love a book that keeps me interested and that I can't figure out. This book had one of the coolest twist endings of any thriller I've ever read. "

" Not Ludlum's best work, but still a compelling "conspiracy" plot. Government "spooks", J. Edgar Hoover's death and his secret files, misdirections, red herrings, with shots fired and explosions. All good reasons to read this book. "

" not better than the previous books I read which were total monsters, but nonetheless amazing. this is a Mystery Spy thriller that, with no surprise, contains many twists and turns. This book doesn't just contain one simple plot, but much much more...Alot more. "

" this book was published in 1977. i thought the political paralells to this election year were particularly remarkable. "

" This book had a little sex in it. Not graphic. It took me awhile to get into the book and then I didn't want to stop until I was done. The author weaves a good web of suspense. "

" The first 90% of this book is crazy addicting, but the ending, while unexpected, wasn't great. Could have been 100 pages shorter. Best Ludlum I've read, tho. "

" This book goes on my "Will read over and over again" shelf! It's one of the few fiction books I've read that left me wondering if it could very well be non-fiction! Excellent writing! Superb plot! A must read! "

" nearly to the end. It's a good book. But don't expect as Bourne series. "

" Very exciting book loved it could not put it down. "

" I felt like I should have loved it and really, I didn't and well, it was disappointing. It should have not been so predictable. "

" My first of many R. Ludlum books. He was very good at espionage. "

" Excellent historical thriller of what might have been behind the death of J. Edgar Hoover. "

" I didn't realize when I started reading this that this week marks the 40th anniversary of the death of J. Edgar Hoover. Which is kinda funny. . . cause the book starts off with a bunch of guys assassinating Hoover. "

" A well conceived plot with lot of twists.. Though the end was somewhat disappointing!! "

" One word for this book .... "AMAZING" "

" A little different from Ludlum's usual novels (which I generally don't like, as a rule). A nice start and a stunning ending, this one's too good.. "

" Robbie hasn't read this one. "

" My first Ludlum book! I clearly state that it brought my readings to a new level. Definitely I could tell just by this one book that Robert is one of the greatest story-tellers ever! Don't miss it :) "

" Political intrigue writer writes a novel to close to the real life events that may him a target. So very Ludlum. Power in knowledge and knowledge of power. I recall this a semi interesting. "

" I love Ludlum, and this is the one that started my love affair with his writing. "

" Personally for me, I didn't find this all that compelling compared to the other Ludlum I have read. I think it might especially be lost on anyone too young to remember J.Edgar Hoover, whose death plays a prominent role in setting up the entire story. "

" Thought it was a great book. It was hard to put down and extremely original (cough, cough Grisham's Pelican Brief). "

" As usual Mr Ludlum gives us great story,with twists and turns throughout. "

" I consider this one my first espionage story. It was great in the 70's. Surprised a movie hasn't been made. "

" Intrigueing spy novel with twisting plot. "
