The Day After Tomorrow

It's a great novel but the condition of the book wasn't satisfactory as compared to the price.

Nice story fast paced but I wish the editor had cut down yet hevsize

Great book,

This is the book I wish I'd written. Page 1 is so good that whenever I tell people in conversation about it - they go out and and buy it. (I'm referring to when it was a new release).I lost my copy and have bought it again...and the final page and final sentence...wow!

I've been reading suspense novels for twenty years and still, this book, The Day After Tomorrow - is the best one I've ever read. Reason being: The opening paragraph kicks off the journey and you can feel the rage inside this young Dr. Osborne who sees the man who killed his father when he was 10 years old AND the other reason is because the books ends on the very LAST line. So from start to finish, Mr. Folsom did an incredible job of taking this plot and other sub-plots and creating a masterpiece.Secondly, his writing is excellent. You can have a great story and great characters but if you can't write intelligently, then you're screwed. I'll give you an example. On here, there is book for over 1000 four star reviews called "The Prettiest One." After reading 10 pages of that book, I put it back because the writing was juvenile. I wanted to like the story and the characters but the writing has to be believable and intelligent.Third, you will actually care about Dr. Osbourne and his supporting character, Detective McVey. This story takes place in London and the author does a great job of creating scenes you can visualize. The worlds that are introduced appear to be very real. All the characters act and do as they should. No one acts out of line or in an unbelievable sense. Some will say this book is too long. That there are too many characters. This book is long. But since I've ready five times or more, I myself couldn't edit it down any further nor would I want to.Lastly, the science behind this story also feels accurate and possible. The author explains this very well too.So if you have a few nights or a vacation coming up where you can sit and read for a long time and enjoy a well-written story, get this book! It truly is one the best. I wish he had written more like this but his second novel wasn't that great nor did it come near to this story. In fact, the first chapter, about five pages is one of the best chapters I've ever read. That's how great this book is. It should be required reading for any fiction writer.

Ho acquistato la versione in inglese. E' piena zeppa di errori di punteggiatura, di battitura, a volte un parola completamente sbagliata (how invece di now). Anche due per pagina.... tutti questi errori non mi consentono una lettura scorrevole e mi sorprendono. Peccato.

パリを訪れていた医師Ｏｓｂｏｒｎは３０年前自分の目の前で父を殺害した犯人を見つける。どうしても彼に父を殺した理由を聞かなければならない。彼はその男の調査を始める。一方、ヨーロッパの各地で切断された頭部と頭部のない７つもの死体が見つかるという事件がおきていた。なんの関係もないと思われた過去と現在の事件がつながったとき、Ｏｓｂｏｒｎだけでなく、多くの人間がすでに大きな大きな陰謀に巻き込まれていた。読み始める前は作者の名前も知らなかったので、あまり大きな期待はしていなかったけど、読み始めたら止まらない、止まらない。こんなにスピーディで面白い作品にめぐりあえて本当にラッキー。７００ページを超える大作ですが、最後の最後まで楽しめました。是非お勧めです。
