The Havana Room |
Handling a complicated plot with consummate ease, maintaining a high level of dramatic tension during a brilliantly paced narrative and creating a complex cast of unusual minor characters as well as a wholly believable, sympathetic protagonist, Colin Harrison has written a riveting novel that grabs the reader from the beginning and doesn't let go. The Havana Room is a terrific, original, engrossing read by a masterful writer. --Jane Adams, Amazon.com --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
Review
'A Tom Wolfe-worthy social parody of one man's fall from corporate grace Harrison is a cinematic writer, and the combination of his fast-paced plotting and graphic imagery can give The Havana Room an almost comic-book feel - and I mean that in the best sense' New York Times 'The clever mix of danger and emotion never lets the reader off the hook Compelling and suspenseful, this is entertainment with a wicked edge' Maxim Jakubowski, Guardian 'It just gets better as it goes along, involving a trip from prosperity to almost total wipe-out, and the bounce- back. But what is worth it? Read it and see. Highly recommended' Independent on Sunday 'A great read, an elegantly crafted thriller you won't want to put down' Washington Post Book World
