The slipper and the rose
Published in Unknown Binding by Namara Publications : Quartet Books ()
Author: Bryan Forbes
Amazon base price: $
Average review score:

Almost as good as the movie!
This is my favorite and in my opinion the best cinderella story and the only one worth reading or watching. Prince Edward actually has name and his life is an important part of the story. Cinderella loses her slipper of course, but when Edward finds her, they find out that love cannot always have its way. The fairy godmother is hilarious. One scene you see her house and she had souveneirs from Robin and Maid Marian, William Tell, the ugly duckling, and other legendary characters. I also love this movie because its adult humor is clean and funny. The music score was written by the Sherman brothers who did a fantastic job! If you are a Richard Chamberlain fan you like it even better - he's the prince. The book is full of pictures from the movie. It is a great shame thats its no longer in print.

A Soild Effort
Not a bad little page-turner. I liked the story line; it has been done before, but not this well. The book sneaks up on you and really [stinks] you in. You find your self almost hurrying to the next page because the suspense builds through to the end of the book. Very good characters with competent development and well thought out roles within the story. I would have liked a bit more detail on the locations. Overall a good book from the period.

A Great Spy Thriller
The Endless Game is the first of a two-book series (the second is: A Spy at Twilight) in the vein of the Le Carre "Karla" quartet. Mr. Forbes also played his part in that "game" and writes with considerable authority. The book is well-crafted and grips you as you work through the developing enigma and misleading clues with the protagonist. The characters are complex and believable, the plot consistent and the outcome unguessable until the last pages. Altogether, a most satisfying read for lovers of spy fiction.

Keeps You on Your Toes
This was an interesting period of time; authors were still giving us the tried and true spy vs. spy and the USSR was on its last legs. This is one of those books, but it is very good. The author peppers the book with plot twists that keep the reader on his toes. You cannot take his work for granted; so much is going on that if you get a little complacent you miss things. The characters are also kind of cagey; they tend to surprise you at times. Overall, this is one of the better books from the end of the cold war.

Brilliant, completely brilliant!
The detail and brilliance Comrade Forbes goes into when writing his book is astounding. The twists have twists, shaded with the grim glow of realism.
