| 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. | ||||

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

| I read this book a good many years ago so was quite surprised to see it still in reading circulation. I can confirm it was yet again a brilliant read a story line that many have tried to repeat ,although not to the same standard. I can readily recommend this book it won't disappoint. | ||||

| I first read The Fan Club in 1980. It was a pass around paperback in my Military unit. I loved it, and have re read it countless times. Now, I've had the pleasure of listening to the wonderful reading by Mr. Eric Dove. He captures the personalities, voices and inflection of the characters almost exactly as I've envisioned them. | ||||

| Boas descrições dos personagens mas um pouco alongado demais. As "cenas" sexuais são monótonas e não transmitem muito bem as emoções dos personagens. No entanto, bastante bem "montadas". O autor tem uma imaginação fértil. | ||||

| Engrossing till end. Though slow to start, once when on is gripping, taking unexpected turns till end. | ||||

| I remember reading naughty parts of this fairly "dirty" book as a pre-pubescent kid. My mom had it on her book shelf. I mainly ordered it for nostalgic reasons to revisit some of the passages that intrigued me before I really knew anything about sex. Reading the story as an adult is a different experience. It's a relentless rape story, a male fantasy that grows tiresome and uncomfortable fairly quickly. All of the characters are fairly one-dimensional-- the cast of "fan club" rapists as well as the movie star victim. I thought this 1970s story might have a new interpretation in reading it now, with how super stars' privacy is constantly being invaded by ever-present cameras (not just by paid paparazzi but by random citizens as well) and social media, stolen nude selfies, etc. But it doesn't really. | ||||

| George Bernard Shaw said it best! "There are two tragedies in life!" "One is not to get your hearts desire!" "The other is to get it!" Read the book and you will understand! | ||||
