5.0 out of 5 stars not a Trevanian style, 12 July 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Main (Paperback)
That book is pretty different from the other pieces of Trevanian. First of all, there is barely action. Well, there are, but these are only details. This is a story of a town, and its ordinary people. While reading it, I went like: "Hey, nothing's happening, yet I still want to keep on reading". That is how I usually react when reading a Steinbeck book. For those who liked Trevainian just by reading Hemlock's adventures, you may not like this one. Yet, it is a great novel. The best part was its conclusion. It suprised me. See, that surely ain't an action novel (other Trevanian book are not either. However someone can just read them as if they are, and miss the depth of the novels).

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved it., 12 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Main (Paperback)
I read it in two days. After I finished, I just sat with it inmy lap and thought about it, musing the characters. I can't say that too many books have had that effect...

WRITE MORE, TREVANIAN...

3.0 out of 5 stars This isn't the real Trevanian!, 21 May 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Main (Paperback)
Once upon a time, I ran across Trevanian's personal secretary in a bookstore in Maryland. She told me the sad, sad story of a man who got divorced and, as part of the divorce settlement, lost his right to the pseudonym! So all subsequent books are by his WIFE!! And totally without the hard-paced action we'd become accustomed to!!

There oughta be a LAW against using someone else's pseudonym, don't you think???!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Just a great story by a great story teller.
I just wish that Trevanian was more prolific. All his books are readable and some are great. This one is great.
