I read this for the first time in the early 80's and have kept the paperback version till now. It is totally decrepit these days, so have now downloaded onto my kindle to read again. I know it's one of my all time favourites (& I say this a lot) but it definitely delivers in the tension department. I will never loose this book. An oldie but a goodie! | ||||

Irving Wallace was one of the most successful popular authors of the last half of the twentieth century. His novels almost always ended up on best seller lists, and his non-fiction books were fascinating—and too, best sellers. The Fan Club was among his last works. Like its predecessors, it is a massive novel, weighing in at over five hundred pages. Wallace’s characters are as fascinating, on the surface, as ever, and his story-telling is as fine as his previous works. In this, a voluptuous sex-symbol movie star is kidnapped by four average Joes, not for ransom but for the pleasure of sex with her. They, in their naiveté, believe she will be more than willing once she sees how much they worship her. But, as anyone with half a brain would realize, she is repulsed at being held captive and being used. But she turns the tables on them subtly, and the story takes off. It is a compelling plot indeed. But because the topic of rape is so unsavory, it is hard to like any of the characters, even the movie star. Wallace, as I said, is noted for massive books. I don’t know if this was because of the topic or because it was one of his last books, but I found it extremely verbose, and I had a hard time accepting that characters would talk like he lets them. I’ve read most of his other books, and I don’t remember this style of dialogue in any of them. The characters in his other books are extremely accessible, but these four kidnappers are very hard to get to know, mainly because of the way they talk. And the police detective who eventually comes into the picture talks like some scholar explaining a scientific process, rather than a cop who wants to solve a crime efficiently and quickly. And I was totally mind-boggled by the coda. The final pages just didn’t make sense to me, as far as the actions of the movie star and one of her kidnappers. So I’m not sure I would recommend this book except to the most die-hard of Irving Wallace fans. He wrote far too many fine books to spend time on this potboiler. | ||||

Arrived, good condition for a 45 year old paperback, reasonably delivery time given distance of travel. Bookmark inserted. I am pleased. | ||||

Refreshing to know that uncut/unedited versions of controversial books are available digitally for purchase. Kudos to Amazon prime! | ||||

With all the Wallace style, sometimes crude and explicit narrative of a dream once conceived and the adventure this became, so recommendable | ||||
