"i LOVE this book! it's GREAT! his description of the below zero temprature in the North Pole had me shivering the whole length of the book! and the scene descriptions! WOW! i'm now alive to see the full moon on an ice desert!"
"This is one of books that were thrown out of our local library and brought home by my old landlord. I was too embarrassed to admit to it until now my conscience bids me confess to I accidently falling down the slippery slope of the nasty hooky plot that these trashy novels so mercilessly ensnare the reader with in the first few pages and continue to drag the hapless victim through hours and hours of miserable, sordid reading until the last page is finally attained like a prison release. Alistair Maclean was the suburban middle class male commuter's Agatha Christie of the 1970s; when I was growing up his latest books were trumpeted on T.V. ads. His 'Where Eagles Dare' was the subject of a film featuring a young Clint Eastwood and a not so young Richard Burton and also a rocking Iron Maiden song. Egotistical,narrow minded, mean, vindictive, self-righteous and petty in the extreme is the hero of the novel who acts out the aforementioned commuter's fantasy. The hero often berates himself in the strongest terms allowable for not manifesting the level of analytical power necessary to have foreseen various obscure eventualities that could have foiled the plans of the miscreant who is finally psychologically tortured and left to die by the goodly hero. What a thoroughly unpleasant experience. It's only saving grace was to give me joy in the knowledge that I am nothing like, and have nothing to do with, the vast readership that this author enjoyed."
