4.0 out of 5 stars Reads like a Hollywood blockbuster, 25 Sep 2001
By C. Horton (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Six Days (Paperback)
Although that's both a good thing and a bad thing. Good, because it means the story is fast-paced, action-filled, and builds to a rewarding and explosive climax that you can just imagine being shown on the silver screen. Bad, because - like most Hollywood blockbusters - the plot is a bit too formulaic, so there's no major surprises to be had along the way. But don't let that put you off; this is still a thumping good read by any standards. The plot is nicely involved, there's a good strong cast of characters, and the whole thing seems well researched and as believable as such a story could be.
Perhaps one minor annoyance is the reference to ficticious technologies and their associated terminology - which can come across as a bit out of place and interrupt the novel's flow. I suppose this is somewhat unavoidable as the story needs to be set slightly in the future (maybe 20 years or so, although this is never explicitly stated) but terms such as 'lapbot' - a futuristic laptop computer - and fantastic inventions such as Head-Up Displays on car windscreens can tend to grate after a while. However DuBois does show a decent amount of restraint so thankfully this isn't too much of a problem.
When all's said and done, if you like the big action thrill-fests such as Air Force One, Top Gun, or the Die Hard series, you'll get plenty of enjoyment from Six Days. Definitely worth taking on holiday for an interesting read on the beach before you crack out Tom Clancy's latest tome.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great "will they make it in time?" thriller, 17 May 2002
By kmarkham@eircom.net (Dublin, Ireland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Six Days (Paperback)
Simply put, if you want a precise, reality based plot then this book isn’t for you. But if you can suspend belief, just a little, and you want a rollercoaster of a read then this book has everything you want… great heroes, nasty villains, an intriguing plot and fast narrative, that’s not bogged down in detail. Right from the start you’re right there with the hero and heroine, looking over their shoulders as they fight to clear their names and expose the truth. Dubois tells you plenty but he also leaves enough to the imagination and he gets the mix right. Sure, I have a few quibbles but nothing that will stop me from recommending the book or going out and buying his first novel “Resurrection Day”.

5.0 out of 5 stars You'll be done reading it in less then 6 days, 30 May 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Six Days (Paperback)
I just finished reading this book that I first loaned from my library. After a gripping start I found myself hooked to it and finished it within two days. The exploration of the characters is fantastic and the different twists really strike you. Author DuBois has a brilliant way of keeping a cliff hanger at the end of chapters which forces you to read on to see what happens. After reading this book you will be definatly left with the feeling 'what if this happed . .' because I defintly did. The exploration of the characters is great too. I highly recommend this book if you love conspiracys and thrillers. The book is full of shocks and things that you will learn. Highly recommended.
