My rating: 5 stars
My review: Loved it. One of the best adventure thrillers I've ever read (and I've read a lot). It was a little slow in the beginning but once The Jackal is introduced, the book picks up and becomes a wonderful read. Forsyth's writing is quite enjoyable, with moments of dry humor (especially in the sections about the British government). And I'll admit it: I had a slight crush on The Jackal (who doesn't love a cool assassin?).
