4.0 out of 5 stars Good and unusual thriller, January 13, 2001

This review is from: The Flight of the Stork (Hardcover)

The story starts with Louis Antioch's journey following the migration patterns of European storks. This task has been given to him by Max Bohm, who is found dead at the very start of the book. Soon this quest proves to be mysterious and very, very dangerous. One of the delights of the book is the descriptions of the various locales -- Switzerland, Slovania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Israel, Central African Republic and finally Calcutta. This descriptions show either very good research or personal knowledge. One warning is necessary for readers, at times, the book is quite gory, but never gratuitously so. When I read the book I immediately noticed the concise, rather chopping style that reminded me first of Hemingway, but then, of Camus. This should not be a surprising since Grange is French. Considering that this is Grange's first novel published in English, I am very impressed.

I "met" this book one afternoon of some years ago. It was a paperback, very cheap. I thought:'it could be good to spend some days'.

From that day, i red all Grange' books, one after one other. It had been a fever and it still is .

This book is amazing. There's nothing in common with other thriller writers.

To read Grange' stories it like to go deep and deeper in a terrific journey, where people aren't what they look like and you are looking more than the solution of an enigma, but for the enigma inside yourself and that you can't watch because it scares you.

Buy them all and have fun. Grange' is the number one in Europe and reading just one of his books you will understand why.

Best regards

I really enjoyed reading this book.

The first 100 pages or so are in my opinion a little slow to get into but once you are over that it really does turn into a Page turner! What was a little odd at first were the two plotlines, storks and transplants. It is all coming together nicely towards the middle of the book.

I have become a fan of Mr. Grange and am working my way through the Empire of the Wolves right now!
