Customer Reviews

One of the Best

Captivating book which stayed with both me and my sister. And now I've found it again (my sister and I speak about it every so often). I see that there are a few other lovers of this book. I can't wait to give her another copy and I bought one for myself. I think I will check out "Silence." I've lost track of this author until now.

Best novel ever written

I was given this book in the 80's for consideration as a movie. I was astounded and wanted to do it but my partners did not think it could easily translate to film. I am in love with it and this writer --everyone should read it and put this on their list of lifetime must reads. I still think it would be a great movie and would love to write it to screen--Lawrence Bender where are you?

From the first to the last page:a pure delight

I just finished to read "The Watcher" for the fourth time and I'm still enchanted by the prose of Charles Maclean.Even after four times, I keep on finding new clues, new diabolic plots. One of the best novel I've read

One of the Best Books I've Ever Read!!!

I read this book in 1985 and again in about 1992. It is one of the best, perhaps even the best, book I've ever read -and I read about 60 novels a year. I've just ordered Charles McLeans new book, Silence, and look forward to reading it but it will be hard to be as imaginative,thrilling and provoking as The Watcher
