Review # 1 was written on 2013-08-22 00:00:00 Justin Kaiser I am a Christopher Reich fan since reading his first book Numbered Accounts. Of course my wife is Swiss so his familiarity with the local geography and all things Swiss makes the novels that much more interesting at a personal level. The Runner was a bit slower for me although once I got into the main characters I was hooked as usual. Set in the years immediately following WWII, Reich describes a different perspective than I have experienced as he details the destruction in and around Germany. The overall confusion as allied forces try to divide the spoils while locals struggle to make it day by day made the whole war experience somehow more tangible for me. As usual, the bad buy is bad to the core and the mighty chase throughout the book builds to a grand finale that is worth the read.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-11-22 00:00:00 Alan Hillan a brief foray into the reading materials of straight men was not time well spent. bought at a charity store thinking it was something else entirely. managed to finish it more out of curiousity to see how much worse it could get...
