5.0 out of 5 stars Nice read, November 1, 2005

Highlanderthal "LONE WOLF" (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Assumed Identity (Mass Market Paperback)

This book above all books delivers. The best description of this profound novel is how fast-paced it is. Excellent story-telling from beginning to end. This ranks in the tops. I have never read a novel that has been this continually climatic. Read it and see for yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely one of the greatest books!, August 9, 2005

bond007 (L.A., Cali) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Assumed Identity (Mass Market Paperback)

Assumed Identity is the best book I've ever read. Unbelievable action, exotic locations, great diverse characters, and an ingenious plot. David Morrell is sheer entertainment for any reader. His fantastic storytelling plays out like your watching an action movie. There's a fearsome villain that makes for a great showdown at the end of the book. A pure page-turner and a top-notch novel from Morrell.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, August 25, 2005

Michele S "Michele" (New York) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Assumed Identity (Mass Market Paperback)

OK, people- here I go again about Morrell.

There is just no such thing as a "not so good" Morrell book. Some are better than others, that is the case with all authors. But they all deserve 5 stars. if you look at some of the other books I read, I read various types of books. I also like to read books from the same author, one right after the other. All of Morrells books get 5 stars. i wouldn't do that with Laura Lippman, Sidney Sheldon, Dean koontz or Marian Keyes.

Also, recently I emailed DM and you know what? He EMAILED me back- how cool is that? I can't wait for his next book to come out...counting the days.
