A review by lindasdarby
Marathon Man by William Goldman

4.0

I haven't seen the movie and didn't know what the book was about at all. The story was very suspenseful and the characters well developed. It did take me a long time to figure out who was doing what and what exactly was happening but I think that made the book better. William Goldman wrote in the introduction that people walked out of the movie during the dentist scene and now I know why. That scene reinforced my hate of the dentist. Of course my favorite character in the book was the Marathon Man himself. Great read.
