Summary: Another well-crafted tale
Comment: In his latest novel, Day Of Reckoning, Jack Higgins once again weaves his literary magic and displays his mastery of the craft by bringing back the best and most entertaining of our beloved characters from his past novels. Sean Dillon, Chief Inspector Hannah Bernstein and Brigadier Ferguson give us a rich mixture of personality conflicts and deep regard for each other within a superb story line. The cast of villains swirling around our heroes is made up of Mafiosi, cast-off IRA killers and London gangsters. We are drawn into the fascinating plot of Day Of Reckoning, and it is difficult to lay the book down. Bravo, Jack Higgins. Another well-crafted tale. I would expect nothing less of my favorite author.

Summary: Okay ... so what?
Comment: Here's the cliff notes version:

Within the first 10 pages of the book, the reader learns the good guy wants to ruin the bad guy by doing A, B, C and D. Two hundred plus pages later, the good guy has done A, B, C and D. The end.

Next book, please.

Summary: How bad can a book be .....
Comment: This has to be one of the worst books I have every had the displeasure of reading. First and foremost there is no character development at all. In an effort to write a book that moves along at a quick pace he pushed the story along at a pace that nothing is enjoyable. As to what characterization he created was in many cases offensive. Especially of people of Italian decent. I think Mr. Higgins has let his prejudices shine through in his work. I would suggest he do a little more homework on his subject matter if he is going to create a believable reality for his stories. This is the first book I have ever read by Higgins and I think it will be the last. Thank god I purchased this book at the bargain table.
