2.0 out of 5 stars Oh, the deception!, 27 May 1999
By A Customer
Shame on all of you. After reading these sterling reviews, I was prepared for a real treat when I picked up Logan's novel. My goodness, the horror I felt as I slogged through this interminable mess. After an intriguing start, the plot feels as if it's walking through quicksand. Long after we know the setup--gold in Vietnam, must beat evil old army buddy to it--Logan hurtles his hero all over the country in pointless, needlessly detailed subplots. I mean, my God, this just absolutely killed the suspense he had so perfectly created in the early going. Also, Logan completely abandons the disarming touches of almost self-mocking humor in favor of corny, heavy-handed machismo. I was still laughing but at parts which were clearly intended to be dramatic and hard-boiled. Logan needed to lop about 150 pages out of the center of this thing and then he might have had something. By the end, I just didn't care anymore, I only wanted the book to end. Logan can surely write--and he knows it. He suffers from a case of literary narcissism and seems incapable of writing a short, well-crafted sentence. His tough guy act strives for Hemingway but I can only imagine Papa scoffing at some of the long-winded tripe this bloated work contains.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tightly written, intrigue with complex characters., 15 Nov 1998
By A Customer
I read, at least, five books a week and once in a while, buy one I've read before. This was the case with Chuck Logan's, "The Price of Blood." I must admit, I was delighted to find I enjoyed it even more the second time around. The beautifully fleshed out characters, the plot and search for hidden treasure, the contrast between brutality and compassion, along with subtle, but titalating love scenes can do nothing but cause you to turn pages with a longing for more. The ending is up for grabs until the last page and makes you hunger for his next book.
