Customer Reviews of The Flight of the Falcon

Dreary, Dull, and Depressing
I looked forward to this book, as I loved "Rebecca" and "Jamaica Inn." Sorry to say, this was one of those books that I thought would never end. I kept hoping page after page that it would get better. I did not care for any of the characters, nor what they were doing. The plot was contrived and dull. If I ever write a book, I hope it holds my interest more than this one did!

Very good book
It's a pity the editorial opinion doesn't match the general positivity of the customer reviews! I personally felt this was a very GOOD story. Well laid out. I can't really tell about the story, because most of the thrill of reading Daphne du M's work is figuring it out as you go, piecing together the bits and coming out with a peculiar and always wonderful ending. She had to be the master of endings. Anyway, this is a good story. I got it from the library while I was working last year and took it along sometimes to read between breaks and at lunch and stuff. I loved the way that all along you felt as if the book was heading toward one thing... then that was suddenly resolved and it went in a somewhat different direction. I recommend it highly.

I met Armino Fabbio when I was in his head.
I've just finished reading the book for the second time. I've read it my own language first and now (4 years later) in english.
This is a book that forces you to read it. Once you've started, you can't wait to read what's on the next page. The book felt so real, I was in Armino's head: I saw through his eyes, heard through his ears and smelled through his nose. I felt myself chased by the police and I felt like never willing to let go of my brother again. Now that there's nothing left for me to read in the book, I still feel I'm inside it. Wondering about what's coming next, as Armino will be wondering now what to do. It will take a lifetime to forget everything that happened.
