The Killing Ground Audiobook

" Good standard spy thriller exactly what you would expect. Entertaining "

" A good yarn for a wet day but characters are unconvincing and plot too Bondish. I haven't read Higgins for a long time and will not be in a hurry back. "

" i was dissappointed with this book.i have great respect to JH but he didn't give his best on this book.Thats what i believe.My heart goes to Sara being a ''victim''at a very young age "

" One of my favorite authors. This one was too much the same with not enough difference to make it interesting. "

" Another Jack Higgens for me to read! "

" I love Jack Higgins books. I have read most of the 38 books he's written over the years. They are quick reads involving British Intelligence against different terrorist from Ireland, the Middle East, Russia, etc. This is typical of his books, a good quick read. "

" Too many characters and very little character development. This is obviously part of a series with many references to previous events. Plot very choppy! "

" Depressing, violent, no closure. "

" Not as great as the last few in the series. Dillon, Salter and the gang go to rescue a young girl and get her back safely to her family. "

" Compared to other Higgins books this was poor, 500 pages of a dull plot and hardly 2 pages of action in the finale. Poor yet bearable. "

" Reading a Higgins novel is like watching a favorite movie. Lots of action, great characters, some really evil bad guys, some really human bad guys, some really human good guys...what more could you ask for. The plot was pure Higgins. Makes you want to look forward to the next one. "

" Frankly, quite awful. A prolific writer, Higgins has his formula down too pat. The characters were too stereotypical, the ending predictable, and I'm not sure why I finished reading it, except that I don't like leaving books unfinished. "

" First time I've read this author, not bad. "

" Good book to read if you want something that you can put down at any time. It seems that Jack Higgins used scenes from several of his older books and just rewrote them a little. If you like his characters you will enjoy this book. If you expect something original you will be disappointed. "

" I liked it....by it used though. "

" Didn't think it was one of his better books. Story line was ok, but very predicable as it unfolded. Hard to write that many books and keep it fresh. "

" We listened to this book on the north bound part of a road trip. It was drudgery, hard to keep up with who was living and who had been killed. This did not capture our interest. "

" One of the worst books I have ever read. I was expecting good things from this author.. he has zero dialog..zero character development and jumps around so much I got dizzy.. I didn't even finish this book.. I HATED it "

" I've learned that I want to take a vacation from reading Jack Higgins. "

" An intricate plot that revolves around a kidnapped girl; lots of twists and turns and dark characters. Action takes place in England and Iraq and everywhere in between. Very violent- lots of people getting shot in the knees. Ouch! 31/2 stars "

" Contains reference to modern war. Sadam Hussein and terrorism. Old Ira members to the rescue. "

" Good read, but not as good as some of is past books. "

" The Sean Dillon formula is just getting old. It's not a bad book, but it feels like I am re-reading a book I've already read -- several times. "

" Not as great as the last few in the series. Dillon, Salter and the gang go to rescue a young girl and get her back safely to her family. "

" Oi, Higgins, no! Escapist books are meant to take us to a simpler, more exciting place – not a muddled world of desperately hackneyed characters, ridiculous dialogue and laughably implausible action. This book is dire. I got halfway through but didn't finish it. "

" A good yarn for a wet day but characters are unconvincing and plot too Bondish. I haven't read Higgins for a long time and will not be in a hurry back. "

" The usual fare from Jack Higgins but he still doesn't disappoint. I was in it all the way until the end. Textbook cookie cutter thriller but exciting nonetheless. "

" Didn't think it was one of his better books. Story line was ok, but very predicable as it unfolded. Hard to write that many books and keep it fresh. "

" Not bad, as usual too many characters to keep track of with the speed and lack of consistancy with which i read books. Good ending! "

" Very interesting storyline with numerous characters. Need to read slowly because of the characters and subplots. "

" Compared to other Higgins books this was poor, 500 pages of a dull plot and hardly 2 pages of action in the finale. Poor yet bearable. "

" This isn't my kind of book at all but I got it as a gift from my best friend. Although it wasn't the kind of book I would have picked, it was surprisingly enjoyable. "

" I love Jack Higgins books. I have read most of the 38 books he's written over the years. They are quick reads involving British Intelligence against different terrorist from Ireland, the Middle East, Russia, etc. This is typical of his books, a good quick read. "
