5.0 out of 5 stars He entered the market with one of the best books of our time, 18 Sep 2000
By A Customer
It was a book of depth, daring writing and nail- biting moments. This book had everything anyone would want when it comes to Action, Fact-based plots and daring characters. The book follows the path of it's two central characters: The Jackal and The man employed to track him down. The Jackal is an international assassin employed by a rebellious organistion to murder the French President Charles De Gaulle. He is one of the most intriguing characters I have ever read about ,with a cold hard personality but a still powerful charisma, he prepares for his most important moment: His final ,and most challenging, murder. The man sent after him is but a simple inspector in the French Police. He has no information and little time. He must act quickely with everything to lose for he knows if he fails he will have to take the fall. As the plot heats up you are carried through some amazingly described locations and a depth in the plot that is unusual ,but put to great use, for thrillers. the additional characters are many but none without a history. In the mind of the reader these characters come to life. As far as I could see there are no down-sides to this book however it is not for the young. There are some scenes of a sexual nature. Reader beware. But for those who read these will definitely find that at no point will it be a struggle to keep going as you will not let go until you reach the last word. I gaurantee you will sit back thinking nothing but 'WOW!' Obviously I won't be telling you the ending but clear your schedule because once you've started reading you won't stop.

5.0 out of 5 stars I envy YOU, 9 Aug 2006
By N. Denny "Nodgey" (Dublin, Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I envy the reader who is about to read The Day of The Jackal for the first time! I have told sceptical friends to read "only the first chapter...and then decide!" The first chapter alone is a good enough reason to pick up this novel. If you do so then you will read the rest of the novel to answer the lifelong riddle: "what happens next!?"

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the best ..., 11 May 2006
By Somnambulist (Manchester, England) - See all my reviews
This is without a doubt, the best suspense thriller I have ever read. From start to finish there is no slack in the narrative, no unecessary flowery descriptions, and no putting it down.

Chacal is pursued throughout a rollercoaster plot, by the forces of the French state. By the end, you're left cursing the forces of good, and celebrating the underdog.

Go on - buy it!
