Not for the story so much, it's okay.( Some of Forscyth'sother stuff is much better.) But for the realistic background of dealing in the Middle East, particularly Afghanistan, it's outstanding.

Could put it down
I read about half of this book and could not muster up the interest to go on. I thought it might be a book similar to The Kite Runner in content, but unfortunately it did not hold the same fascination for me.

Not his best
I am an ardent Frederick Forsyth fan and have read every one of his previous books and never been disappointed. I await each new novel with ill-concealed impatience. The Afghan changed all of this. It was readable but lacked the unputdownable quality his books always have for me. This book felt like a rewrite of media stuff on the subject. Apart from the geographical lessons I learned in reading it, I felt that I had read most of this before in other writings. FF has usually excelled in the research area in the past but this one smacked of laziness on his behalf. Quite disappointing but I live in hope of better things to come in his next book.
Afghan
Apr 11, 2007
The first book by FF which I read and liked very much was Avenger - a really thrilling story. The Afghan was not so exciting. More than half of the book are descriptive passages and little place left for action. Too much attention for a man who does nothing and too little for another hero, who acts. War history description also seems rather doubtful, because you know and feel that it is written not by a historian, but a fiction writer. Anyway, I'd recommend to reed this book, especially for those who are fans of FF novels. And I myself will read other FF's novels.
