5.0 out of 5 stars Breathless!!, 30 Mar 2006
By A Customer
This review is from: Scarecrow (Paperback)
Scarecrow is a great read if you like action and adventure stories. The plot twists and turns and the action sequences seem never ending, and leave you breathless. It would make a great movie except you would leave the theatre exhausted!

5.0 out of 5 stars Read this first, 20 Aug 2008
By Van "Van" (scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Scarecrow (Paperback)
Let me make this brief.
I once read a review many moons ago covering a movie starring Kurt Russell called Stargate. In this review the individual reviewing claimed that there were some serious inaccuracies with the egyptology in the movie.
What the reviewer failed to mention was that this pyramid was on a planet called abidos.
I see the same thing here with some of the reviews of Matthew Rielly.
THIS IS FICTION.
And thank goodness, it is nice to escape somewhere else for the duration of these novels and they certainly deliver the goods as thrillers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of Thrills, Don't Take the Book Too Seriously, 15 Jan 2008
By J. Chippindale (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Scarecrow (Paperback)

Matthew Reilly was born in Sydney in 1974. He studied Law at the University of New South Wales. He has written both screenplays and magazine articles. His second and third novels, Ice Station and Temple, became No. 1 bestsellers in his native Australia, and went on to enjoy huge success internationally. The author lives in Sydney.

This book, first published in 2003, is the third book in the Shane Schofield series, following Ice Station (1998) and Area 7 (2001). Captain Shane Schofield, call-sign Scarecrow, has been put on a hit list by an unknown consortium and he has got his hands full just trying to stay alive. All the so-called bounty hunters in the area are after nailing his skin to the wall. At the same time he is attempting to track down the members of a conspiracy that could annihilate some of the world's major cities. It all adds up to being one of Reilly's best books to date.

Reilly's books are full of blood and thunder. Full of the latest weapons technology and people who know how to use them. People who are prepared to run through a brick wall if necessary to achieve their ends. Some of the things that happen in his books have the reader questioning where reality ends and fantasy takes over but it doesn't really matter, just go along for the ride and enjoy the action, there's plenty of it.

I have to admit that Matthew Reilly is one of my favourite authors. Scarecrow and Icestation are my absolute favourites! Scarecrow blew me away the first time I read it. Read more

I am embarrassed to have actually paid money for this. It contains the most outlandish, unrealistic, impossible tat that I've had the misfortune to read.

Simply put, this is the worst book I have ever read. Thank God I was given it by someone who didn't pay for it.
