Customer Reviews

Irving Wallace's best novel

I cannot agree with the other bad reviews at all. This is so much more thrilling and fascinating to read than "Fatherland" by Robert Harris. I read both books (I even finished reading Harris' book which was hard for me to do, but I kept hoping throughout the whole time it took me to finish reading it that the story would get better at some point, but I was very disappointed in the end) and watched the movie "Fatherland" which was also boring. I never could understnad why somebody considered the novel worth making a movie. So of course I was wondering why "The 7th Secret" never has been filmed in 23 years since it has been published? I hardly reread novels, because I have more than 1500 books to choose from in my private library at home, however I read this book at least 4 times...it is indeed addictive like one of the reviewers stated! Also I did read several other Wallace novels, but they were not nearly as compelling as this one. 10 stars.

Irving Wallace's best novel

Emily Ashcroft goes to Berlin where her father died under mysterious circumstances while finishing his biography on Hitler. She uncovers a horrible secret... Although this is just a novel, it's extremely compelling and unpredictable. Wallace obviously did quite some research for this book which makes it even more fascinating to read. This is a lot better than "Fatherland" by Robert Harris which I read also. I always wondered over the past 23 years since "The 7th Secret" has been published, why it never has been filmed. After all, "Fatherland" has been filmed and is not nearly as interesting. 10 stars!

Riveting!!! Wake up wondering if it's real!

I've searched all over for this book because it's out of print. Read it, when you go to bed at night, you'll expect to read about it in the morning newspaper. It's soooooo realistic you will be back in time and experiencing Hitler and the war. It's not a historical novel but fiction written so well you will definitely think you are there! It's addictive and one of the reasons readers love to read! Enjoy!!!

Did Hitler survive the war?

Irving Wallace makes you believe that Adolph Hitler could survive the war and that an active Nazi movement is still in existence today. Wallace outdoes himself with this action-filled thriller that presents a realism that can bring chills to any World War II survivors. Great reading.

What might have been

This is an excellent read and a damn scary proposition. Hitler and the Third Reich alive and plotting world domination? Taut, exciting and compelling. Thank god it could not be true.
