What an author; I discovered Day of the Jackal when I was 8-10 (not sure). Reading it remains one of my most memorable experiences of my childhood[1].

[1] It took a lot of convincing by my older brother that there book was, indeed, fiction. TBH, even now, I'm pretty certain it was all plausible.
- ahartmetz 1y agoI've read The Devil's Alternative when I was maybe 14, and I still think that it was a pretty solid book - exciting plots, well-researched and plausible. Maybe similar to Michael Crichton (who sadly died pretty young), whose Dino Park I read around the same time. Both of them, I think, were in the upper range of "thriller" novels.
