Classic Literature. Fiction. HTML:A Nazi conspiracy in the heart of modern-day Manhattanâ??the blockbuster New York Times bestseller that became the classic film thriller.
At Columbia University, Thomas "Babe" Levy, a postgrad history student and aspiring marathon runner, is working to clear his late father's name after the scandal of his suicide, triggered by the McCarthy hearings and accusations of Communist affiliations.

In Paraguay, Dr. Christian Szell, former Nazi dentist and protégé of Josef Mengele, has been in exile for decades. Infamous as the "White Angel of Auschwitz," he's leaving his South American sanctuary to smuggle a fortune in gems out of New York City.

Meanwhile, in London's Kensington Gardens, an international assassin known only as Scylla has completed a hit. A man with too many secrets and twice as many enemies, Scylla has become a target himself, with only one place left to turn.

Then, when Babe's revered older brother, Doc, pays him a fateful and unexpected visit, it sets in motion a chain of events plunging Babe into a paranoid nightmare of family betrayal, international conspiracy, and the dark crimes of history. Now, the marathon man is running for his life, and closer to answering a single cryptic and terrifying question: "Is it safe?"

William Goldman's Marathon Man was adapted by the author for the award-winning 1976 film starring Dustin Hoffman and Laurence Olivier. Upon its publication, the Washington Post called it "one of the best novels of the year," and it remains a powerful, horrifying read. In the words of #1 New York Timesâ??bestselling author Harlan Coben: "I found myself racing through it. You could have put a gun to my head, and I wouldn't have been able to put [Marathon Man] down."

Very quick read; I enjoyed the book, and the clever humour. An interesting story, and one that could have been longer. ( )

Reads like a movie, which was no surprise as I knew it had been made into a movie & writer William Goldman was a successful scriptwriter. Fast-paced, readable & suspenseful. The one plot twist happened about halfway and was somewhat easy to guess. Nothing terribly interesting near the end of the book. ( )

Even though I've seen the film, Marathon Man will remain a gripping read. The story cracks along at a blistering pace, much like historian and marathon runner Babe, the central character. Babe's life is torn apart and we watch him put it back together piece by piece. The book has a little bit of everything, action, mystery, political intrigue, and a conclusion worth the journey. Read it, then watch the film. ( )
