Review

I always like books that were published even before I was born. I find their story more interesting and is very indulging. I’m into classics and hardly onto latest books. And this is one of the good examples why classic thrillers are more entertaining than the newer ones.

The story started when Harry Griffin told his girlfriend Glorie that he will going to put his hands on three million bucks worth of diamonds. And he did just that. He plucked three million bucks worth of diamonds out of the air by hijacking the plane that was carrying them in mid-flight. But this sudden wealth didn’t bring power or happiness Harry wanted…only danger, hatred and death.

This story is a very intriguing one. I was hooked by this story the moment I’ve started reading it. When I first read the story, I didn’t expect that I could finish it in just one sitting. It has its fair combination of suspense thrillers that would keep you glued. I can only remember how much I enjoyed the story.

It doesn’t just offer suspense but it also provides lessons. A lesson that teaches you that everything you acquired in a bad way will not last even how hard you grip on it. In every bad thing you commit, there are always consequences that you should take.

This is my first book from the author and was really impressed. He’s one of those good one and I’m always looking forward to reading his other books.
