Review of the Afghan
This book was fantastic in many ways. Fast paced, lots of details about the character's history and also the rise of the Taliban and Al Quieda. The narration was excellent and the plot kept me on the edge of my seat all the way through. The only thing I found disappointing and why I decided to rate it 4 out of 5 stars was the ending. I just felt like after the effort the author had obviously gone to in his research in to the army, MI5 and terrorist groups the ending let the book down a lot. Don't let this discourage you though, it is overall a fabulous and thrilling read, just don't expect a huge climactic ending.

Perfectlycool, London
As with all of Mr Forsyth's novels, it is very detailed and assuming (which I do) his research is accurate, informative. The problem is, too many trees and not enough wood for my liking. It kept me interested, but the ending is anticlimactic. The narrator is excellent.

Well worth a listen
I’ve become a big fan of Frederick Forsyth and this book didn’t disappoint. One thought though: listen to the Fist of God first as that represents an earlier incarnation of a couple of the key characters in The Afghan.
Narration was excellent, by the way. Well worth a listen.

Entertaining and great detailed fun !
Entertaining and great detailed fun, the narrator constantly keeps your attention and interest. Driving and listening to this story was addictive.

Good but overlong
Not a bad story, like all of his books it's very intricate and winding but not as engaging or interesting as his others. Not bad though. Well read. If you want something g better try his earlier ones or icon or fist of god.

Worth persevering
Technical and very detailed in parts. I learned a lot about Afghan fighters and fundamentalists. Felt bogged down in parts but finally a believable and exciting ending resulted

Difficult to fathom out who's who
Having read several of Frederick Forsyth's before l reallly thought that I would enjoy this from the start but it was taxing to say the least. I found the story line brilliant but it was a mish mash of characters and situations that I found difficult to keep up with.
I nearly gave up on it several times and found myself having to rewind and listen again in hope that it would make sense. Too many characters to firmly nail down that I ended up finishing the book not making any real sense of chunks of it at all.

Typical ff thriller
Frederick Forsyth books are quite prescriptive, but it doesn’t stop the fact he tells a good Yarm and doesn’t spare the hero
