Average Rating:
 Rating:  - desperately disappointingCompared to the mastery of Robert Harris' other work - of which I am a huge fan, this is a dreadful, dull, uninspiring, completely unbelievable read. What a waste of time! Rating:  - Cheryl Blair works for who?????.The Ghost My first Robert Harris read, does Mr Harris`s socialising with the the Blairs give him an insight into the truth,the basis for fictional scribing, or somewhere between both?? Can`t imagine the likes of Bush and Margaret Beckett fitting into the equasion!! A good read with a twist, "Archangel" next.

Also known for speaking her mind and being quite vocal) REMIND YOU OF ANYONE? Adam shot through the political ranks and was a refreshingly different ... Read More: Rating: - Pacy, thought provoking - sharp ending though...I am a big fan of Harris and realy like The Ghost. It is fairly predictable although still carried enough twists to keep you thinking. Ive been slack on the reading front recently but this pulled me in and I flew through it. The ending was far from disappointing but still felt a little abrupt for me. |
