5.0 out of 5 stars Easterman at his best, June 10, 2001

By 

Paul Freeman (UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Ninth Buddha (Thorndike Large Print Popular Series) (Paperback)

Daniel Easterman is, in my opinion, one of the best thriller writers around, but this book is easily his best (there are few of his books I have not read). Once you have finished reading the start of the book you will soon find it hard, if not impossible, to close this book until you have read through to the end.

5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!, December 17, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: The Ninth Buddha (Paperback)

Just a great book all around. It may take 50 pages until you get into it, but after that... Easterman is the best author around today, and this may be his best book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not that great, June 21, 2006

By 

F.Faulkner "F.F." (Hartford, CT USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Ninth Buddha (Paperback)

I picked this book up at a bookstore on vacation. The setting, premise and cover blurbs made it look very interesting. It was interesting, but so ridiculously far-fetched to make one laugh out loud. And the reader could clearly see everything coming a mile away. It perhaps is immature writing by the author, after all the copywrite says 1989, but I found it highly predictable and preachy. I gave it 3 stars for setting and atmosphere, but it was TRITE. Give me a break, a woman spending a lifetime in virtuous Buddhism suddenly jumps in the sack with a white guy from England? Not to mention the book ends badly, everybody dies, and it just fizzles.
