4.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't put down this "Drop.", March 9, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Paris drop (Hardcover)

Being a big fan of Furst's more current novels, I was dubious about exploring is earlier work. My caution turned out to be unfounded. Although, the style and settings are an about face to his recent works, this is an outstanding, suspenseful, and often humorous novel. Should be re-issued, it's as good or better than anything being written today of a similar genre.

This review is from: The Paris Drop (Paperback)

Alan Furst is a subtle author writing on Europe, Paris, middle Europe before and during WWII. This rare book is really juvenilia and nowhere near as good as his later works. But interesting because of what is to come.
