Customer Reviews

A fun read

I wondered about reading this as I was unfamiliar with the author. The jacket description talked me into it. I am glad I read it but it is forgettable. Picking it up in paperback or on heavy discount for an airplane read is okay.

The Eight Day is a superb book

See my comment to the review by Eric Olsen. This truly superb book is deserving of as many stars as one can assign to a book.
