The Eiger Sanction by Trevanian.

Learning storylines on Trevanian’s books revealed they’re not of my preference. But I had an exception in reading wish to spy duology The Eiger Sanction and The Loo Sanction, but, of course, a strong basis to that was a film adaptation with Clint Eastwood.

The writing was bearable. You don’t get mighty and beauty of sentences, you can read it. An author made a noticed once repeat of thought and that single time was in a detail of personality in a character, which he needed to work with presentation. These mistakes are forgivable but a narrating itself isn’t well. I could accept in one hero but not earnest inner minding in many personages. They have an odd vision on reality. It includes with unrealistic and confusing behaviors and where some acts are impossible. A lead protagonist couldn’t see that part of body of stewardess from his position.

All that in a writer who made a strange describing of things to which he could bring dirty comparisons. Sometimes it raised a thought that will end up as a pulp. Maybe it became so or not because I didn’t read more than forty five pages. I passed eventually after scrolling a book and studying on it. A disclosure was that a reel implementation fixes in everything. Deprives shortcomings and improves scenes. It converts whole story into ideal. Such revelation wasn’t once with writing of XXth century. Dialogs are impeccable in a flick while Trevanian’s talking isn’t matured and requires polishing. However, his structure of narrating is jumping in time without point. It suddenly says on result of a mission and describing of assignment takes in the next chapter. Later he makes similar confusing the occasional movements to past times in writing about present. The writer’s inexperience can be in few strokes as he informs that a main hero lived on small residue of estate which could allow somehow to continue his education but you don’t understand how he could visit Switzerland in summers. Maybe, Trevanian accepted this mistake or it was that he planned in such way because several sentences later we recognize a main hero had a job. It can’t consider for intrigue. After all, as can sense, the author didn’t learn about spying as that corroborates an offer to novel’s lead character to join a special department (how it’s head could know about buying church in addition to that?) while he doesn’t explain how the protagonist was recruited and I don’t think this will be explained later. It’s only known that was in time of Korean War. But a lead hero did a strange thing there, which was climbing. More understand here that Trevanian didn’t know much.

It doesn’t make as sudden that you don’t get an insinuation the author wanted to write a spoof in that constant seriousness even despite many characters have quaint (and some of them perverse) names. Reviewers didn’t notice too and it caused the writer to compose a sequel, which gives a pulpy shade by it’s title, where he, in his claiming, increased in that direction but I don’t care how actually it is (although I have a sure he didn’t succeed).
