Members Reviews:
... 39 steps was one part in particular that 'I' liked well as his mind began to grow back again ...
During a lot of parts of Hannay's thoughts in-side of the book and in reconstructing his thoughts to him self about the 39 steps was one part in particular that 'I' liked well as his mind began to grow back again to another bar of 'Annie Laurie; to the sound of 'Twisdon's as some kind of resemblance to the beauty of a black stone, the name isn't it,?' / And about Trafalgar Lodge the movie say's it's inside of the London Palladium. / And the movie also says that it was a woman that was skewered surprisingly with a kitchen knife in the back. When the book says that Hannay's imagination led us to believe that he had came back 4 hours past 10 and skewered the body of Scudder and then dressed Scudder into Richard Hannay's own pajamas when shooting him in the head as for Scudder was one of the guards men and the porter inside of Hannay's flat that was in-side of the new block behind Langham Place. Does this book relate to The Skin Game in 1916 (or) by any chance also the book Sabotage in 1914?? "I" enjoyed the book very much so that "I" could say that "I" loved the book, Thank You Kindly, MJQ Los Angles California.
An English Novel Pre-World War I
A good story with much detail and color to put the whole thing in a mentally visual context. Personally, I had a little difficulty understanding some of the local English vernacular, being an American. But I got the majority of the discussions and descriptions to keep the story flowing along to the end.
A racy spy thriller!
A short novella. A racy read!
The plot revolves around a political conspiracy and the attempts of a colonial Scotsman to thwart it, after his chance encounter with the person who first detected it. Although some events seem more contrived and less likely to help the protagonist escape (I didn't trust one person he did when he was a fugitive!), this is clearly seeing it as a person in 2016 and not in the 1910s when this book is based. In fact, I believe this book was one of the first in the spy thriller genre, and clearly worth a read for that. Lastly, hearing the characters speak in my head was lots of fun (the book goes to great pains to "vocalize" local accents).
If all this doesn't sway you, this little gem is free on Kindle! What more can you ask for?
The classic man-on-the-run page-turner
On merit, the book earns 3-stars, but for clarity of writing, pace and a publication date over one hundred years ago you have to award another star to Mr. Buchan. The plot has holes, but you don't really care. "The 39-Steps" is a quick read and highly entertaining.
I find Buchan to be a fine, fine writer
After reading Greenmantle, I realized that there were actually more books in the Hannay series.
