Customer Reviews

Intense,erotic and thrilling

I have read alot of books in my life and out of them all,this was one of my all time favorites! Even though it's been at least fifteen years since I've read it,I can remember almost every detail.I can't understand why great books like that go out of print! Like every one else, I loaned it out to a friend and never got it back.I think that I'll just have to search the library!I don't think that it was ever made into a movie but I can't see how a movie could ever do the book justice!

one of wallace's best written, if not his best work!

i read this book in 1978 and lost the copy to a friend. i've been trying to locate one ever since but with no success. i hope the publishers will reprint this great book.

One of my all-time favorites!

I read this book when it was first published in paperback and was mesmerized from beginning to end. The storyline is eminently feasible (even more so today!) and keeps the reader guessing which diabolical twist the story will take next. Like many others, I lent my copy to a friend who wanted to read "something good" and I never saw it again. It would make many avid readers, like myself, very happy if the publishers would reprint this book and many of his other titles as well. He is a marvelous author and has always provided me with hours of enjoyment when reading his novels. He is truly one of the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rape victim pulls a 180 on captors in Suspense/Thriller

I first read it back in 1985 when I borrowed it from a friend, to whom I returned it.She promptly lost it and we've both been trying to find it ever since. If nothing else, The Fan Club reiterates the natural fact that sex is intercourse between far more than just the physical bodies. I thought Irving Wallace's telling of the mental posture of each character during each stage was brilliant. I've always thought that this would make an incredible movie, if it remained true to the book. Why is it taking so long for it come back into print?

Didn't they make a movie, based on the book?

I very much enjoyed this book when I read it. I was just about 21 when it came out. It truly was suspenseful and erotic. I thought they made a movie about it, does anyone know if they did? Thanks
