The Cry of the Halidon (Abridged) Audiobook

" Disappointing, the use of Jamacan slang makes it difficult to read. Ludlum can do much better. "

" Finally finished it. Not his best. "

" This book was completely entertaining for the first 200 pages, and then completely fell apart. The plot was very thin, major focus on action. I wouldn't recommend it. "

" I still think about this story often. "

" not that good. give it a miss "

" This was my first Robert Ludlum book so I did not know what to expect. To me it started out very slow and a lot of characters were introduced. It was difficult at times to follow all of the characters as many were short lived, literally. The story got more interesting about midway through it and finished well. It was a bit outdated but held up well. It reminded me quite a bit of Ian Fleming. "

" I read this book too long ago to write a proper review. Will re-read and add my review later. "

" This is written by the same person who came up with Jason Bourne? Enough said. "

" This is a kind of adventure story. I liked it when I read it about five years ago. It describes the life in a faraway land unknown to many. "

" I've read this book years ago,just have to do again.Great book "

" Compared with most of Ludlum's trash, this one's worth reading on a plane. "

" Nice and an obvious R. Ludlum's work. "

" Not one of Ludlum's best. "

" I couldn't get into this book and never finished it. "

" Checked out this book for our vacation. He writes a good action book. Maybe I'll read the Borne series at some point. "

" British spy network interests collide with private industry over the rights of Jamaica, with the oversight of a secret Jamaican community. (1974) "

" Robert Ludlum is one of my favorite authors. This story is exciting, unpredictable, and fascinating. If you like this author and/or his mysteries you will enjoy this book. "

" The plot had potential but the ending felt rushed. Not as good as other Ludlum books I've read. "

" Probably the worst of his books that I've read. Just okay. "

" starts out confusing...unusual for Ludlum.... "

" One of the best Ludlum books I have read! "

" This was the first Robert Ludlum book I read and probably the first "proper" espionage novel I read too. I can't actually remember too much about it I'm afraid, which makes this review more or less pointless I suppose! "

" Such a ride...I love Robert Ludlum and this book makes me want to read again the Bourne trilogy "

" A decent spy novel that brushes with absurd, savage grandeur in the jungles of Jamaica. "

" This book was completely entertaining for the first 200 pages, and then completely fell apart. The plot was very thin, major focus on action. I wouldn't recommend it. "

" I couldn't get into this book and never finished it. "

" Very interesting plot... with enough twists that kept me interested. I found the "super-natural" part of the story kind of intriguing also. Not bad for a book written in 1974... that I am reading on 2010 "
