5.0 out of 5 stars Dazzling exploration of identity in thriller form, 31 Jan 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Discrete Charm of Charlie Monk (Hardcover)
Ambrose has cornered the market in combining classical three act thrillers with mind-bending speculations on intelligent scientific possibilities. He is now unique in a genre entirely his own. (see THE MAN WHO TURNED INTO HIMSELF and SUPERSTITION.) THE DISCRETE CHARM OF CHARLIE MONK grips from its opening chapter through unguessable twists to a satisfyingly rich climax. Ranging through speculations upon virtual reality and philosophical issues of personal identity, the novel is also simply a terrific thriller. Hitchcock meets Hawking. James Bond meets Bunuel. I enjoyed it immensely.
