Run, Run while you still can....,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Wind Chill Factor (Paperback)
I have read the Assassini, and it was fantastic. However, I went back and read this, and was sorely disappointed. I think maybe Gifford just didn't have the maturity yet, as this is a young, angry novel, and leaves you saying so what. Assassinations, killing and Nazi intrigue aplenty, but unless you want it served up with incest, alcoholism, and other foolishness, read something else.

Dont Cry for me Minnesota,
By TundraVision - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Wind Chill Factor, (Hardcover)
1972: Drat! We have Nixon AND resurgent Nazi sleeper cells here and around the globe? John Cooper is recently divorced and eking out an AA-assisted writer's existence in Cambridge, MA when he receives a cryptic telegram from his elder brother, who is inexplicably in Buenos Aires:"URGENT YOU MEET ME COOPER'S FALLS 20 JANUARY. DROP EVERYTHING. FAMILY TREE NEEDS ATTENTION. CHEERS OLD BOY. CYRIL." So home to the family namesake Cooper's Falls, Mn goes John Cooper. This Ludlum-esque page-turner had me as soon as John Cooper's Lincoln swung northward in Chicago and headed on the long ago familiar Illinois Tollroad trip towards home in Minnesota - with a stop at "one of the Fred Harvey emporiums." Almost run off the road near Madison in a blizzard, John goes home to revisit old family secrets. Then round and round the globe he goes, where it stops only author Thomas Gifford knows. I was up all night following the intrigue! 8 of 9 people found the following review helpful:

Complex and involving,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Wind Chill Factor (Paperback)
The Wind Chill Factor isn't necessarily an easy book to read. The plot is complex and if you don't keep up with the different twists, it would be easy to get lost in the details. However, this is absolutely one of the most richly written books I've ever read. The sensations the lead character experience become the reader's sensations; his thoughts, your thoughts. Once you commit your energy to the story, you'll be hard pressed to put the book down until you are finished.

This would make a great movie!,
By Alex G. Sundberg "Rural 2" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Wind Chill Factor (Paperback)
I can't believe anyone could not like this book. It grabs you from the first page and doesn't let go. I'm sorry the author has never been able to follow up.I'm going to buy it and read it again.
