First, this HP print edition is worth as an easy to read and to preserve book.
Second, Alistair Maclean books are surprisingly hard to find now a days along with Desmond Bagley books.
Third, Where Eagles Dare as a book is unique in that the movie is almost verbatim and scene by scene based on the book. This is rare. Like Guns of Navarone, the book, is quite a bit off the movie. So in that sense the plot reads like a screenplay only with more detail thrown in. And this adds to the pleasure of reading the book after watching the movie, which again is rare.
As far as the plot goes, the plausibility of the plot is enhanced by the author's dexterity of drawing out the characters and events in such detail. Of course, the basic flaw of the plot lies in its basic premise itself : why go to such lengths to dupe four quite dull spies into giving up a list of contacts ? Such dupes could have been misled into giving up the contacts under a more devious and yet less drastic manner.

The pacing in this book is excellent ! It’s such a roller coaster ride full of twists and turns and loops and what not... loved it! If you enjoyed the Guns of Navaronne then you’ll enjoy this one as well.

Excellent book. Nothing to say about it. It is world famous.
It was so outstanding that a world class movie was made on it.

I grew up reading all Alistair Maclean's novels, watched the movies adapted from these novels and left with enduring memories. These master creations will continue to regale young and old for times to come and highly recommended as these also help to improve English language skills. Inimitable style!!

Classic McLean/WW2 - Fantastic
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 19 September 2018Verified Purchase
Having seen the film dozens of times, I thought I'd have a crack at the book as it was on offer, and I was not disappointed. The premise is that of a small group of Allied (there is a token America who, when I first watched the film, I assumed was added to appeal to the US market - Clint Eastwood as a young man), commandos are tasked with rescuing a captured US General from an all-but impregnable Nazi SS castle in the Bavarian Alps.
As might be expected, all is not what it seems, and the plot rattles along with its twists and turns like the bus racing towards the airfield towards the end. The scenery that is so key to the film is brilliantly described, from the shivery Alpine blizzard, to the tightly packed, sweaty bar and the imposing Bavarian castle.
The classic 'Broadsword calling Danny Boy' callsign certainly brought back memories of the film, which I was 'forced' to watch once again after reading the book. If you like a wartime thriller, this is for you.

Book versus Film
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 10 October 2022Verified Purchase
An odd one, this. The book was written (I assume almost immediately) after MacLean had written the screenplay, but there are many differences between the two. I rather think the book reflects the original screenplay, which may have been altered during filming. In the book, there is at least one extra character, minimal killings, and scenes such as the car crash in the camp. There is also no resistance at he airport, and they don’t fix explosives on the posts as they drive the bus. But the writing style did not suit me, and for a professionally produced book there are quite a few errors, including one I could not unravel. The preposterous elements of the film seem more preposterous in the book!

Good yarn but terrible writing
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 12 February 2020Verified Purchase
I first read this when I was at school so when I saw it available at a special price I decided I had to read it again. I really wish I hadn't bothered now. As a schoolboy one tends to be more focussed on the story, which is fun if silly - as proved by the film I've nothing against silly stories so that was fine. What I hadn't appreciated back then was what a terrible writer Alistair Maclean was. The dialogue is utterly unrealistic, the characters are cardboard cut-outs and his attempts to paint pictures with words are stiff and cliched. I got about 60% of the way through and decided I just couldn't be bothered to finish it.

Superlative thriller
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 5 June 2021Verified Purchase
A simply terrific read, this pretty much unputdownable World War II adventure set deep in Germany delivers both plenty of action and a plot with numerous surprising twists, turns and revelations. Overall, immensely enjoyable and not to be missed.
The screenplay for the film with Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood was also written by Alistair MacClean, making for a very satisfying tie-in, and the film is also wholeheartedly recommended.

A good read , but ...
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 13 May 2021Verified Purchase
The book is just like the film, I believe he was commissioned to write the book for the basis of the film. Some errors have been pointed out by others, one I picked out was a reference to Heathrow airport . Heathrow did not exist at that time, the area was an RAF base during the war called RAF Heston. After the war it was developed as a commercial airport called London airport until 1966, about a year before this book was written
