This is one of the best books of Forsyth and is a thrilling read. If like his book 'The Fist of God' you are bound to love this one.

Even though this is fiction Forsyth must have spent a lot of time on research because along with the story he provides us with real life facts about clandestine operations and espionage. This is a must have for every Forsyth fan.

The book was good when compared to his latest novel The Cobra, where Forsyth sometimes missed the ploy. The book is a good time pass and the story is also good keeping the reader instrested.. Its not a book unlike his earlier stories which is really thrilling, but overall the book has good plot and will keep you interested.

This was my 3rd book from the author. It has those small incidents leading to big moments which are indeed fascinating and keep the reader interested at all times in the book. The book is a one day read and for anyone who enjoys thrillers, The Afghan is a good read indeed :)

1) Planting an agent in Al-Qaida was a greatly intriguing concept an really fuels your urge to read on.
2) The author gives a brief biography of the main characters from page 91 to 179 which can get a bit boring and you might as well skip them.
3) Does not have much of a CLIMAX and the plot is not very strong nor there is much happening in it.
4) But overall it may be worth reading.

Bought this for a friend. Have read it before. Is a classic Frederick Forsyth novel. Fast paced and thrilling. Very informative. Must read.

Was a gift. Seemed fine.

The Afghan by Richard Forsyth speaks volumes of about the Taliban and the Al-Quaeda. The covert operation of the U.S. and the British intelligence agencies to thwart a terrorist attack aimed at crippling the global economy will keep the reader engrossed. The book contains vivid descriptions of all the players in the act which is very engrossing and helps the reader feel attached to the story. The story will take the reader through a myriad of destinations, so, fasten your seat belts and get r...

Good Quality. There are no defective pages. But please look into the delivery problem in my area. Overall your services are good. Keep up the good work.

The Afghan is a literary masterpiece. Frederick Forsyth incorporates historical facts in a action packed, fast paced plot with such astuteness that one couldn't possibly separate the fact from fiction as easily as one would like... Forsyth adds another blockbuster novel to his legacy..
Note- Historical fiction fans get it ASAP!!

Dont waste your time guys...the plot is good but the execution trails off into oblivion. the author loses track of the characters midway...too many to handle and simply drowns in the end. If you are a first time reader, you may feel excited but simply doesnt work for me! 350 down the drain!!
