Recenzii

Lyall has produced a model of the breathtaking narrative in The Most Dangerous Game.[he] writes with zest and bite; he is a master of the rare art of storytelling.
A glorious tale, vivid in character and escapade.
Carey is great with a gun and deadpan about danger as he weaves through prohibited territory, eluding bears and crooks and radar in his beat-up old aeroplane.
