Ulysese’s Reviews > The Day of the Jackal > Status Update

I must admit the book is better than the latest television adaptation. Attention to detail portrayed in the first chapter "Anatomy of a Plot" is exquisite and informs the reader they have a tread ahead! The planning to acquiring the weapon and disguise is outstanding. The Jackal leaves no stone unturned in the initial stages of the mission. No forced drama or slowdowns occur after laying the groundwork.
