"Circus" by Alistair MacLean (Review)

                                        Circus Review


Written by Alistair Maclean

Review:

Okay, I read this book and it is literally one of the worst books I've read! And what makes it even more disappointing is that it is written by one of the most best-selling authors of his time, and the biggest-selling Briton of his time.There are so many bad points about it, I don't even know where to begin.

Nr.1: "Caravan to Vaccares" and "The Way to Dusty Death" and some other late Macleans, have at least some redeeming qualities. For instance "Caravan to Vaccares" has some really funny scenes. "Circus" does not. "Way to Dusty Death" has some cool action scenes. "Circus" does not. 

Literally, everything is crap about this novel; The romance, the action, the humour, the characters, the back story, the setting.This book is just the typical "Americans-are-good-Russians-are-evil" Cold War novel you find all over the place.

Mr. Maclean, I'm terribly disappointed in you, and in this book. Shame on you!
