 Stories where men are men Grrr May 9, 2008
Jack Higgins writes stories that put hairs on your chest. You only have to pick up a Jack Higgins novel and all of a sudden you feel more manly.
 Pure fiction,but still his best in years. April 28, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Two stars but his best book in some time. How Jack Higgins has fallen from the heights of his great war/adventure/thriller novels such as 'The Eagle has Landed','Confessional' and 'Night of the Fox'.But to be fair to Mr Higgins at the age of 78 and with a reported 60 million in the bank(Times Rich List)he has been pretty busy.'Rough Justice' comes hot on the heels of 'The Killing Ground' published just 8 months ago and is one of the longest books he has written.The good points are that Dillon does not dominate, what a boring one dimensional character he has become, and the pace and action are as ever fast and furious.The story isnt bad but if I was former President Putin I would be suing for defamation of character. Higgins has a serious dislike for Putin and the Russians and even links him to Bin Laden.Higgins also persists to keep the US President in office for what must be his 11th year. He never names the current Prime Minister, though he is obviously a conservative. He writes dreadful dialogue.Bad guys are killed and sent to the crematorium within minutes as in all the Dillon novels.......and yet I still quite enjoyed it, because at the end of the day it is pure fiction. I prefer the intellegence of Le Carre or Seymour but for a fast action packed read Higgins still has the style that makes you turn the pages faster and faster as the story unfolds.
