Summary: Thrills at times, but overlong
Comment: Allan Folsom's THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW jump-starts on the first page when Paul Osborn, in a Paris cafe, sees across the room the man who killed his father and gives chase. Over the next 725 (!) pages he continues that chase, which pulls him into the midst of an international conspiracy peopled by various criminals and comrades from France, the U.S., Germany, and Switzerland.
An entertaining read. Folsom has a nice way of interrupting the mundane with matter-of-fact horror. Still, there are long sections that could easily have been cut -- this should have been a 400-page book. Some of the plot twists are ludicrous, the good luck of some of the characters entirely unbelievable, but enjoy the book nonetheless. One other note -- the book is marred by numerous typos that should have been corrected in the paperback edition. A good beach read, or save it for a long, long train ride.

Summary: QHard to put down
Comment: At first I assumed that the Day After Tomorrow was some sort of time travel novel. I picked it up for a couple of bucks ...and thought 'what the hey'. Little did I know that I had just picked up what would become one of my favorite books of all time.
This is not a sci fi or fantasy type book, however it does read like a movie. The action starts from page one and continues throughout the entire book. It's a real page turner in the best sense of the word. Even 'non-readers' will love this book. The plot is super-fast paced and the twists and turns are better than most movies.
My complaints about this book are few, but i'll list them to give a true review of the book. First, there is so much action and plot that sometimes it seems like there are too many characters and it can be a bit confusing sometimes. Folsom's remedy is usualy to kill a few off every now and then to keep the amount of charaters down. Unfortunately this is used a bit too much and the end of the book seems a bit hurried in his attempt to wrap up a lot of loose plot lines. But this is a small complaint and did not effect my enjoyment of the book.
Overall, you MUST read this book if you enjoy great literature. As I said, it's not sci fi or fantasy and it is not really even a mystery, it's just a great fiction book that everyone should have in their bookcase. You'll read it again and again. Trust me. It's wonderful.

Summary: Disappointing and Ridiculous
Comment: I can't really get into a book based on the ridiculous premise that people are being chased across Europe and killed because they have Adolf Hitler's head in a box in deep freeze and want to surgically reattach it to someone else in order to have a re-emergence of the Third Reich. The action sequences are exciting and all, but that really doesn't make up for the far-fetched fantasy world that you and I just don't live in.
