The most exciting thriller I've read in a very long time,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Runner (Paperback)
The most exciting thriller I've read in a very long time. I found it absolutely unputdownable. The descriptions of China were so real, I had to occasionally look out of the window and make sure I was still in Edinburgh.I don't read much crime and now I know the reason why - most of the British settings and plots are totally predictable - halfway through and I've worked it out! - been there, done that and have the T-shirt. Li Yan, the Chinese detective is a superb character and what really got through to me was not only a fiendishly clever plot with some villains who took me by surprise. Great, great story!

3.0 out of 5 stars
Average book, good story but not worth 375 pages,
By Emmanuel Lambert - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Runner (Windsor Selection) (Hardcover)
The concept behind the story is original and good. The plot is well developed, but the book drags on for too long. There's not enough pace in middle 200 pages. The end of the book makes up a lot, but overall I consider this only an average thriller. Well worth reading, but don't expect too much.
