If you are really looking for a thriller and suspense combo, go after this one.. it has the best mix of both.. Really loved reading it.. Kudos to the author who has taken great pangs for this marvelous creation..

It's one of the finest thriller ever written. Its totally addictive until you finish it off. The novel will leave you awestruck. Each character has been designed to perfection, everything is elaborated precisely, and the story is breathtakingly fast !

WoW,, always loved Frederick's novels. Highly descriptive. It is so well written that one will get confused whether this based on a true story or not. Well, most of the characters that i have come across in his novels are true characters, description is so damm accurate and some portion is intelligently mixed with fiction, making it the best read. I am still scratching my head after i read 'The Odessa File', even in google i cant find a definative answer to whether the odessa file really exis...

This book is a super fast thriller. I had to finish the book in one breathe. The story has a massive twist at the end... lets just say go through the book and you will know yourself that you've read one of the best thrillers in the world ever..!

An exciting journey through suspense and politics. Loved every minute of reading this book. Cleverly paced and makes you travel through France's volatile political environment. One of the best works of Frederick Forsyth.

There are books that stay with you long after you have read them. THE DAY OF THE JACKAL is one such. I have read this book a few years ago, but having lost my old copy (and being an avid collector), i purchased it again. Reading it for the second time was as good as the first.

Now there is no point discussing the plot but for all FORSYTH fans out there- this is a must read. It's the master's best work and for readers new to Forsyth, i suggest you start with this book. You will become his fan...

Things that make this book absolutely a must read:
1. Based on a true story
2. Page turner, which will keep you hooked every step of the way
3. The lead character- the assassin- has such a perfect plan that you will find yourself rooting for him
4. Amazing climax

I was eagerly waiting to write on this for the last couple of weeks but decided to wait until I finish the book. So, as you can rightly guess, I finished it yesterday night, and phew! it was GOOD, really REALLY good. A thoroughly enjoyable story, superb narrative style of Forsyth, pin-point detailing, highly-paced and really witty and lovable choice of words. And what I liked most is its ending, just an appropriate ending this kind of tale needs, an ending that leaves you in thoughts, leaves ...

One of the best thrillers I've read till date!! The plot, presentation and detailing is amazing. Simply Un-put-down-able.

His writing has amazing details ... that's what I like most about this book specially !!

This book is a serious addiction.
The story is neat, fast and crisp. The Jackal is a wonderful character and his methods thrill you as a reader.
Buy this one, if u want a neat thriller to spend your time.
