Notice Regarding Books The Day of the Jackal

The Day of the Jackal is a very remarkable and memorable thriller while the other novels of this sort are usually forgotten too soon this book has stuck in my head for good. It is a real duel of masterminds one staying on the side of crime and the other serving on the side of justice. Frederick Forsyth's meticulous and competent elaboration of the tiniest details made this novel unique.

I'm not too versed with spy/espionage novels but I expected something more interesting. The beginning was a sheer cliff of a learning curve. So, so many details, dates and people. I reread it 3 times before giving up and hoping that I'd catch on eventually. (I did catch on, I think...there still may be one or two things that just never caught).This was entirely too much page space given to one day. Yes there are flashbacks but still... cut about half and this would've really gripped me. As is, I

A tight and fantastic political/cat-and-mouse thriller. Edgar award winner 'The Day of the Jackal' is well-paced, originally plotted and filled with amazing research. Forsyth clearly belongs among the top ranks of the great thriller writers. He is often immitated (Clancy, Thor, McBain) but NEVER really replicated. Beyond the merits of the novel itself, the Day of the Jackal has also influenced actual assassins (Yigal Amir and Vladimir Arutinian), inspired the nickname for Ilich Ramírez Sánchez

A professional does not act out of fervour and is therefore more calm and less likely to make elementary errors. Not being idealistic, he is not likely to have second thoughts at the last minute about who else might get hurt in the explosion or whatever method, and being a professional he has calculated the risks to the last contingency. So his chances of success on schedule are surer than anyone elses, but he will not even enter into operation until he has devised a plan that will enable him

It is cold at six-forty in the morning on a March day in Paris, and seems even colder when a man is about to be executed by firing squad.One of the best opening lines ever. This was a re-read for me, and I am glad I re-read this one. While the descriptions of the police work are now dated, this is still a great thriller. And I guess, it could even pass as historical fiction now since Forsyth gives a great overview of the political tension between France and Algeria in the 1960s and the

I didn't realize how hooked I was on this book until I was actually dismayed at the thought of the Jackal being caught by the detective.The story is about a fictional assassination attempt on Charles de Gaulle. The OAS has a grudge against de Gaulle and after several failed assassination attempts they realize that they have a leak and they decide to hire a professional assassin. It's very suspenseful and, more importantly, the whole thing was very realistic and highly plausible. I completely
