Book review of Control by William Goldman


     Classification : Suspense/Science Fiction

     This is definitely worth reading, if you're a fan of Goldman's, 
     or of well-written thrillers.  It's not as good as "Marathon Man", 
     though.

     The book is written in Goldman's usual style, lots of action,
     several major league fake-outs, interesting, human characters,
     several of whom die in uncomfortable ways.

     Warning: The plot is one of those top-secret government projects
	      headed by amoral evil-genuises plots, so you may have
	      to take it with a grain or two of salt.


    BTW:  The Silent Gondoliers, by S. Morgenstern has just been 
	  published.  Has anyone read this?  Any comments?
