Customer Reviews

Another great book to read

My second favorite next to Thai Horse. My review on Thai Horse is shown on the posting.

Diehl has a knack for suspense and surprises.

I find most of Diehl's entertaining and riveting. Chameleon is no exception. Diehl has a fascination with disguise techniques used by experts. In "The Hunt" aka "27", he uses the theme well. In "Primal Fear", he does not use physical changes through makeup and artifacts, but still bases the entire book on the deception of a brilliant, but evil man.I found this book to be a good read and while not a classic, it was very entertaining.

Extraordinary Suspense

This is one of the few books I've read that I couldn't put down. William Diehl keeps the suspense going from page one to the end. His research here if fabulous. The twists weren't the least bit contrived and kept me guessing. Would make a terrific movie.
