The tension mounts as the methodical preparations of the Jackal are paralleled with the efforts of the police to uncover the plot, which gives the story non-stop, edge-of-your-seat suspense.… (altro)
I would not have been able to follow this movie so well if I had not read the book first. The best part...the periscopes that the spectators at the Liberation Day ceremonies were using to watch the events from the sidewalks. Edward Fox smirks a ton in his first persona. ( )
For some reason, this fell a bit short on suspense and engagement for me. It's still an iconic book though, and some of the very start of a rather amazing genre, novelizing historic events in literary form. The writing is well-crafted, the Jackal is developed extremely well as a character, and the narrative is intriguing to follow despite the fact that the history and outcome are already known. I kinda waffle between three and four stars for my personal views here, though readily acknowledge that this is a book easily worthy of higher ratings still. ( )
