I recently finished 'The Aquitane Progression' by Robert Ludlum.
I didn't think it was as good as some of his others. It took
me two days to read instead of the usual all-nighter.
The subject of Ludlum has probably been done before but I haven't
seen anything (I've only been reading net.books for a couple of
months). Does anybody else have any opinions on Ludlum's books,
style, grammar, etc...
I personally like him and I think his recent books are his best
ones. My favorites are 'The Matarese Circle', 'The Chancellor
Manuscript', and 'The Bourne Identity'. I don't think Ludlum
can compare to Orwell, or Dickens in terms of "classic writing" but
for a good action-packed book that is entertaining, I don't think
there are many that can compare.
cheers,
