The Afghan
Really good book to listen on a audio format. Does not measure up to previous Forsyth novels like Day of the Jackal, but then not much does. Some of the sub plots are a little "simple" but overall an enjoyable "read".
I thought I would like this book, and in concept I did, but I found that it was hard to listen to. There is just too much detail to get bogged down in- such that you find youself listening to 30 minutes about something that's only ancillary to the plot of the book. I like Forsyth when I can read it and skim the stuff I'm not interested in, but won't listen to him again.
I love this author but found this book so hard to read. I am geographically challenged so this could have been some of the problem with this book but I found my mind wandering and it seemed that the book really bogged down. However, I may not have given it enough of a chance as I quit listening after about the first CD.
