The Grey Man - Andy McNab - By: S. Sutherland, 21 Aug 2008 
Ex-service man, Andy McNab delivers an uplifting story about an everyday man, Kevin Dodds who has a steady job in the bank & his wife works as a Bingo calller. Kevin becomes fed up with his useless boss after he smugly refused him time off for his wedding anniversary, so to get his own back & decides to pull of a elaborate bank heist, single handedly!
A very quick & very satisfying read, highly recommended. It made a four hour train journey fly by!
Strength to Strength - By: Chopra, 15 Jan 2008 
McNab Seems to grow from strength to strength. Although at times I do feel he gets a little too descriptive.
Generallly though, a great story that I couldn't put down.

A good short story - By: Lance Mitchell, 22 Jul 2007 This is such a delightful little story & such an easy read. As an avid reader of David Nobbs's books, I noticed an immediate similarity between the hero of this story, Kevin Dodds, & those more famous Nobbs characters, Reginald Perrin & Henry Pratt. That takes nothing away from Kevin's adventure as he steps out of his life as a loyal & boring bank employee into the much more exciting mantle of a bank robber. You'll have to read it to find out more!
Stick to what your best at Andy... - By: S Pollack, 26 Jan 2007 
He almost pulls this off but not quite. It is just my opinion but I dont think a mystery novel is 'Andy McNab'. I think Special Forces thrillers Yes! Absolutely! He has to be one of the best around for that, but who am I to cast such a judgement I hear you say. For the price of it I would definately say buy it. That way you can make your own mind up & it is quite an entertaining book for a 'Quick Read'. The best 'Quick Read' I've had for some time is 'A Sequence Of Events' by Robbie O'Grady. Now thats a real rough around the edges book, again probably written by a soldier with a story to tell. The Grey Man is an enjoyable story yes but stick to what you know Andy, bring us government conspiracies big guns & kung fu choke holds. Maybe if the plot had have been drawn out a bit more & the character's backgrounds a bit more detailed I would have gone for it. Dont let this review put you off though. I've put the effort into writing it so the book must have pleased me in one way or another. I suppose I was just surprised this was a McNab book. Different..!
Something different from Mr McNab - By: Roy Brookes, 08 Sep 2006 Andy McNab has written a mystery thriller here & he almost pulls it off. I only gave it 4 stars because it does not quite work for me, but it is a pleasurable read & I would recommend it. As a "quick read" it is obviously very short. Had Mr McNab had a full length novel format in which to develop the characters & the plot a little tiny bit more, I think it would have blown my hair back.
