The English Assassin Audiobook

" Skillful writing. If you enjoyed the Bourne movies read the book. "

" I love this series and read them all. "

" Gabriel Allon, painter and restorer, "

" This is a marvelously written book about a professional assassin. We see the professional and personal sides of all involved. And what a sense of place. This book took place in Switzerland, Germany, Sicily and Italy. I could see the places so clearly. "

" I have probably never read any books classified as political thrillers, but I absolutely LOVE the Daniel Silva series with Gabriel Alllon! I love the complicated plots and all the characters and stories going on... "

" Gotta love the Israeli intelligence guys! "

" The good thing about this series is that Daniel Silva makes a thorough research about actual events in history before writing, making it a great piece of read. A totally unexpected ending on this one, highly recommended. "

" I liked this one a lot better then the first one. It makes me want to learn more about the Swedish banking system and all those stollen paintings. "

" these are fun, fast reads. i enjoyed the connection with world war ii history in this one. silva's englishman provided an intriguing foil to gabriel allon as well. "

" A good one . . . "

" A good spy novel and historically very interesting. "

" a good read. I will continue with the series. it did get a little slow and predictable at times, overall an enjoyable read. "

" Intellectual history is the best fiction! "

" This is a very good book, in spite of one character being a temperamental violinist. The topic of how much the Nazis stole is tragic and fascinating. Gabriel Allon is sometimes lost in the events surrounding him. "

" This series continues to appeal... the main character reminds me somewhat of Jason Bourne in his attempts to escape his espionage/assassin roots and immerse himself in the calm beauty of art restoration. I look forward to more! "

" It was ok. I hope the books get better. I really didn't like the characters. I did like the story line. "

" Very good read, good story line. "

" Similar in depth to Jack Reacher novels "

" Plenty of action and plot twists. Good page-turner. "

" will read more Gabriel Allon "

" This is an excellent series. Great mysteries, wonderful characters (the good, bad and ugly)and a learning experience. Read them and find out for yourself. "

" I found this book pretty boring although my view of the Swiss has been substantially reset and not for the better. "

" Kept going with the Allon series....quite compelling. Again the ending was a little difficult to believe. "

" Great ending!!! I didn't like Anna as much as I liked Jacqueline in the 1st book. Anxious to see how that pans out. On to the next..... "

" Again names and places the writer thinks everybody should know, I couldnt relate though. Story line was ok. "

" A good spy novel and historically very interesting. "

" Great! I love it's fast pace. "

" I realized that I had read this book before (or listened to it), about a third of the way into the book but I just kept listening, which says to me that I liked it before and I like it now. "

" A good one . . . "

" Just a fun, mindless spy thriller to read. Will most likely continue to read the rest of the series. "

" Nazis, Art, Deception, Crime, Switzerland, Venice, Secret agencies...this book couldn't have been any better "

" The Gabriel Allon novels by Daniel Silva are absolutely excelletn! Gabriel Allon makes Jason Bourne look way too meek and mellow. Silva's novels are better written, I would add. "

" Gabriel Allon is a super spy, almost indestructable, with a girl friend also a spy, an Israeli boss and and assassin that wants to take down Gabriel. Good read "

" I really liked this one - better than the first. Maybe it was the places they travelled - Vienna, Venice, what's not to love about those two cities. Maybe it was the subject matter - atonement for Nazi art thefts. Regardless, this was a fun, quick, entertaining read. "
