Narrative Toward Books The Fifth Profession

This book started out great, mystery intrigue spying and bodyguard-ing. Then it took a left turn out of interesting into crazy town. Spoiler Alert* Their brains were messed with. So it goes on and on and on Matrix style with is this a dream is this a real memory or is this fabricated. Chapter after chapter as they are chased and chase people. Oh and then all of a sudden the woman who was saved is suddenly and inexplicably in love with our protagonist. Seriously there is hardly any meaningful conversation or emotional exchange and then it is all "I love you" and "I would follow you into hell" it would be way more believable and I would have not sprained my verisimilitude had she just wanted a quickie in the sack. But back to the is it real is it not problem. The author lost me about 3/4th of the way though the book. Perhaps I was not paying attention and speed reading because "oh no is this a dream or not let's chase and be chased" was happening. (never I) but I have no idea WHY the main character and his (Again suddenly and inexplicably BEST-EST friend in the world) had to have the same memory, that happens to happen later in real life? Really? So if any of you careful readers could drop me a line to explain it to me that would be great, because I am sure as heck not going to re-read this.

Criticism Based On Books The Fifth Profession

Slow start, fun and intriguing middle, weird, illogical and confusing ending. Strange book overall. Quick read, though.

It's been a long time since I've read any David Morrell and I had forgotten what a web of a story he can create. High octane page turning read!! By the time I got to the last few chapters I was just as eager as the protagonists to find out why and how the inexplicable happened. I always enjoy learning about other cultures and this book surprisingly took me there also through one of the MCs -Akira and part of the journey to unraveling a mystery is set in Japan. Savage & Akira are two

This is the 2nd time I read this book. The first time was way back when I was in college. All I remembered was that I had found the book to be awesome then. Well after hundreds of thrillers later, thousands of life experiences later, a few paradigm shifts in my personal outlook towards life, I enjoyed the book but not THAT much. What I had once labelled as awesome has now fallen back into being a good "One Time Read" page turner.The plot is a bit far-fetched. It starts off in a furious and lucid

Remember, one man's bookflap summary can be another man's spoiler.The fifth profession, according to author David Morrell, is "protector" - after hunter, farmer, prostitute, politician. By which I think he means that after we have met our physical and sexual needs, then we strive to acquire goods and power -- and then, we need guards so that other people won't take our goods or topple our power.The key character is a man named Savage, and that's just the one-word name he's chosen to use when

Savage and Akira, protectors, aka bodyguards, aka "The Fifth Profession," are severely injured at a meeting...but when they compare notes, each saw the other killedin fact, beheaded, right after their client was killed. Problem: all are still alive. False memories via surg procedure. Sidebar of love story with Rachel. Just too many wild improbabilities for me, leaps of illogic...glad when I was done that it was over.

p450: savage shook his head fiercely, as if strong enough denial would erase the carnage around him, would made the corpses disappear.my second morrell;it reads like ludlum's bourne crossed with the wachowskis' the matrix;well, maybe minus the transgender part

This is one of David Morrell's earlier novels. As much as I enjoy his work, this novel contained too many internal conflicts, personal conflicts, locations, and characters for my taste. It is action packed from beginning to end and if that is your type of book you may enjoy this.
