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: A locomotive without breaks
Comment: I read this on the recommendation of a friend, and as I found out, they were a very GOOD friend. I have NEVER EVER found a book that was launched into action as quickly as this...IF by chance YOU know of one that does, PLEASE e-mail me and let me know. WOW! I can't TELL you how many times my jaw was opened in awe of the sheer speed this plot takes, and how fantastic it all was, but through it all you were persuaded to suspend your belief and just take it all in just because it was bloody good fun. The very last verse alone is worth the price of the book--but PLEASE, PLEASE DON'T read it in advance and spoil it. A GREAT story and a GREAT book. Unfortunately his 2nd novel 'Day of Confession' wasn't as compelling, but still it was entertaining. Check this book out and clear away your schedules, especially if you are a slow reader, 'cuz you WON'T want to put it down. Folsom has written a book that Ludlum MIGHT have written in HIS prime had his career started in the early 90's instead of the early 70's. TRUST me, that's high praise indeed.

Summary: An amazing rollercoaster
Comment: "The Day After Tomorrow" is a fast-paced thrill ride. It starts as a man named Paul Osbourne sees his father's killer sitting across from him in a cafe. When Paul's emotions get the better of him, he attacks the man in front of everyone.
As the story progresses, not only do we find out that there was more to this man as we thought, but there is more to EVERYONE do we think. Paul and an American police officer (sent over to France to investigate some strange beheadings) are sent on a mad dash across Europe to escape an evil Orginazation set on killing anyone who gets in the way.
Plots and subplots galore keep this book interesting from the first page to the last. And with a finishing line enough to make one re-read it dozens of times before finally closing the cover, this is definately a book that shouldn't be missed.
