I am glad we chose this book. Even though I had seen the movie before, I could not remember anything from it. It seems we are on a theme with France and Algerian war. We had Police of chief Bruno before and now the day of the jackal. I agree with others that the details in the book made the events almost believable. Its been long time since I have rooted for the villain and I was hoping for some success for the Jackal
.
As with other enjoyable books my only complaint was that it ended too soon.
