In the first pages was one of the main characters ,Pyle, dead, but in the other pages he was alive. After al I new it was a flashback but I didnt new that before. But it was a evoke book because war had a major(ip) role. I always like books where war played a major role. When I must read a book for Dutch, I prefer book with war. Those books are exciting and sometimes the contain humor. Humor is also a major factor for a book. Humor didnt sit in The quiet American. That was very unfortunate. In the end it was a exciting book but I dont think I will read it again. There was to many humor and it was confusing. I think I must have a book without flashbacks. A book with no flashbacks reads a lot better.Opinion MartijnI think this book is very dear(p) written. The was in the book is very we ll describe and it is very realistic.I found the book very bold, this is mainly because the story takes place during the war. A very big drawback of this book is that there very difficult words are used. This is very difficult to contribute into the story and it is much operoseer to go out the story. And it is especially difficult if youre bad in English, like me.The characters in the book will fit well into the story home, also the characters are very realistic. This makes the book more gentleSo if someone like it to read English books , than is this book a real must.Opinion JogchumThis book was hard for me to understand, because there are many difficult words in the book, and Im not really good at English. I think this book was exciting, because it goes about war, and mostly books about war are exciting.I found the book well written, because the characters that the author used well described. Furthermore, the author has much knowledge of war, because he used this knowledge, yo u could notice that many things from the war emerged. Romanisatie weergevenI thought it was a realistic book, because it could happen in real life.Opinion JochumIn my opinion, this book wasnt really a exiting book. It was pretty hard to read and because of that it became a little bit boring. That it was hard to read was because it was English. Not that I have trouble reading English, but the book contained a lot of English proverbs. When I read English I just give the words, but here I had much misunderstandings. There were proverbs like Slow fire ah boil hard cow-heel. There were also a lot of difficult words like, vaguely, reassuring and crippled. I also had a continuous feeling that the phrases were grammatically incorrect, but that could be, because that this is an old book or that this book is written in a different dialect. The story was pretty exiting tough, because it was about war. And war is an exiting time. unluckily I didnt really understand the story, because of the d ifficult words and proverbs.
