Book Reviews of The Double Agents: A Men at War Novel
Book Review: Dealing the Cards from the Bottom of the Deck
Summary: 4 Stars
"Wild Bill" Donovan is holding a wild card. And it is about to be played in the shadows of the war-torn battlefields of World War II, with the planned Allied invasion of the European continent being the river card.
W.E.B. Griffin and William E. Butterworth IV continue the Men at War series with a meticulously paced novel through a chessboard of pieces; star power, political brokers, shady spies, anonymous heroes and a race against time to uncover the truth about a deadly weapon that can bring millions to their knees and decimate armies.
With deception possible after every move or hand dealt, Griffin and Butterworth IV deliver a welcome addition to the genre of military spy thrillers.
Book Review: Twice-told tales...stale meat, indeed
Summary: 1 Stars
The re-telling of an existing story is not unusual in literature. From Shakespeare to Dan Brown, authors have retold the same story but usually they add something. In the case of "Romeo and Juliet", Shakespeare added the theme of tragic love whereas in the original version, the theme was rebellious youth...a 180 degree shift in emphasis. "The Double Agents" revisits "The Man Who Never Was" and "Mafia Allies.". Not only was there nothing added but a great deal was deleted. Completely missing is the suspense of "The Man Who Never Was" and the GEE WHIZ! factor of "Mafia Allies."Book Review: horrible
Summary: 1 Stars
I have read Griffin's every one of Griffin's books at least 3 times. He WAS an awesome writer, but this book was horrible. It is hard to believe he contributed anymore than his name to the front cover. It is sad to think there will never be anymore of his wonderful writing to look forward too.I will never read anymore of his future books but go back and start reading his old books all over again. Don't waste your money on this book, write me and I will send you mine. It will never occupy a spot next to all the classics he wrote on my bookshelf.Book Review: Find young Butterworth another profession
Summary: 1 Stars
I have read 25-30 Griffin books. 90%+ have been big hits. But, alas, once again, Father "Griffin" has apparently allowed son Butterworth to write most of the story. There is no action; there is but a weak plot; there are boring details that neither pertain to plot nor military life and lore. I wish Griffin could write more of his Corps series, perhaps have his son just edit and advise. Whenever he co-authors: Reader beware!! Sorry. And I do love reading Griffin.Book Review: Great book - Typical WEB Griffin
Summary: 5 Stars
Typical WEB Griffin Book - A great read. I have been going back and ordering the entire series so I can read them in the order that they were published as the "story lines" will make more sense... but it is not necessary however.
Enjoy, I did...
