The Deceiver (Abridged) Audiobook

" Well written and enjoyable looking forward to reading more of Frederick Forsyth's works. Thrilling and great escapism "

" The character Sam Mcready is well potrayed by Freddie..Makes a gud read "

" When you've read most of Mr. Forsyth's books you just know he's going to deliver & this offering is no different. From the midst of the Cold War to the steamy Caribbean by way of the Middle East a good old fashioned spy thriller. "

" This was a really cool book, lots of intrigue and action, but also stories within the main story! Really great! "

" The protagonist Sam McCready is an unconventional one. Details are sketchy as I read this a few years back. I do remember three separate plot lines being laid bare before a committee for one man's defense. Worth a read for the Cold War espionage plays. "

" Standard Forsyth fare, except that this book consists of a few independent novellas so each story is paced faster. It's a fitting tribute to the spies who devoted their lives to espionage during the Cold War and makes you feel their pain when that era ended. "

" Its a story alright and takes us through the world of espionage, but somewhere it all felt like Forsyth was trying to compete with Ian Flemming in creating an elusive sam maccready "

" Read in Dutch as "De Verrader" "

" Forsyth is a the top of his game here which means you will find yourself reading this into the early morning hours enjoying every moment. You will have a very hard time finding anything in the genre better than this. "

" Loved it. Classic Forsyth but a straightforward read. "

" He reminds me that a talented writer can become an even better writer over time. Forsyth's Day of the Jackal was an interesting first novel but THE DECEIVER is much more fun to read. "

" As usual Forsyth knows how to crank up the tension. My only complaint is that some of the stories don't give a great insight into the central character of McCready "

" Not as good as other Forsyth novels - rather disappointed with this one. "

" The movie ended up being dirtier than the book. I like Frederick Forsyth as an author. "

" Another Forsyth masterpiece. Essentially 4 short stories with one central character. "

" Typical Forsyth book. Well-written. Spy/intrigue focused. I like the way he fleshes out his characters. Not great literature, but pretty good for the spy novel genre. "

" Typical Forsyth...I like most of his books, and I liked this as well.. :) "

" Forsyth is always a fun read. And when you're under a lot of stress (as I am these days), Forsyth's "Deceivers" gave me four fun and moderately thrilling reads in one. "

" The descriptions about the people or events could have been shorter but this is the only con I can point in that book. While for pros there are such facts that it was surprising, caught my attention, sometimes it was funny, easy to read execpt of some longer descriptions. "

" Absolutely loved it! Really, really enjoyable if you are into spy novels, ;.) "

" This was one of my first Forsyth books read and I was not really impressed with him, the language was not as complex and I thought he had been built up as an author. "

" Good, solid spy thriller stuff, but there are some basic errors in one of the stories that made me shudder... (errors in geography, of all things) Wondered about the accuracy of the rest of the work after finding these. "

" They still need spies after the Cold War. "
