5.0 out of 5 stars Fun read from the master of suspense, 28 April 2003
By Darren Harrison "DVD collector and reviewer" (Washington D.C.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: When Eight Bells Toll (Paperback)
I was first alerted to this book when as a young boy I saw the 1971 movie adaptation starring Anthony Hopkins and Robert Morley on the BBC. Fans of MacLean should know what to expect here with a naval secret service officer investigating gold bullion pirating in the Irish Sea. This case takes him to Scotland. The pace is relentless and the suspense breathtaking. I highly recommend this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars This short novel is enjoyable but not great, 11 July 2008
This review is from: When Eight Bells Toll (Paperback)
"When Eight Bells Toll" is a well written adventure involving modern day pirates stealing gold and diamonds from cargo ships. It's up to Philip Calvert and his team to find the thieves. But things haven't worked out quite as Calvert planned and several people end up dead.

This is a very quick read at just over 200 pages, so it never gets boring, but the story is only mildly interesting. There are some, but few, good suspense sequences and the ending is somewhat anticlimactic and clichéd.

Strong three star rating. It's an enjoyable but not great adventure that can be read in a short time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant
One of the best books I have read. After reading this book I went on to read all Alistair Maclean books.
The book had a great setting and he told the story really well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Scottish Thriller
This is my favorite of all of MacLean's thrillers, and not just because it is set in my native Scotland.

MacLean's books often rely of a big twist near the end. Read more

When Eight Bells Toll is really almost a Bond story that doesn't involve any female love interest. Calvert is the hero defying death, swimming for miles whilst all around him... Read more
