I enjoyed reading this book. It's a historical adventure story which I love because of the suspense and history all mixed into one book. I like the main characters and their female counterparts. I will definitely recommend the book to other people because it's a fun read for a wide range of readers.

I have read some sample pages provided by the author. The starting few pages itself kind of depressed me. I'm not a war story person per se, but the little that I read seems to ha e made an impression on me. I will definitely gove this book a shot before I decide to read or not to read.

i don't really like historical fiction but reading the sample and following this forum has actually made me become curious like a cat so Im going to read a bit more of the book to see if I might change my mind on historical fiction books.

My overall opinion of the book is that it is an enjoyable adventure. What I like most about the book is that it is very well edited. Its language is very well polished. What I like least in the book is the native language that is added here and there. They slow down the reading of the book as the reader tries to figure out their pronunciation. Very well! I will recommend the book to all lovers of Historical Fiction. The stories in it are very touchy. Seeing what the kidnapped and their rescue team went through, I felt so bad. See how Samuel Marti was taken from the camp on a local stretcher. My rating for the book is 4 out of 4 stars.

I haven't read this instalment yet, but I have read the first two. I hope the crescendo is the same as I don't want disappointment.

I hope I remember to check out the Waramunga series eventually!

The Waramungas stories are interesting bits of historical fiction about the time following WWII in Southeast Asia.

The title of the book 'The skill of Wamuranga', intrigues the reader to continue digging deeper so as to get to know of the skills being portrayed.It has began by putting the reader into an emotional tense feeling into the jungle. I have read the book and i find it adventurous.

I have just started reading this book and it sounds interesting. Although I haven't read the other part of the trilogy, I understand this book well.

Skill of the Warramunga by Greg Kater is the third book in the Warramunga series.

Skills O the Warramunga can be read as a stand-alone, I would thoroughly recommend you start with #1. The writing is superb.The stories are sublime.
There's plenty of actions to keep you turning on the next pages and a satisfying end as well.

I liked the book for its simplicity. Despite all the intrigue, it doesn't become overbearing at any point. Sarah was the star for me when I read Conflict on the Yangtze, but I did not much like that she has nothing much to do in this book. Not one of my favorite books, but a light entertaining read.

Based on the few pages I sampled on the book, Skills of Warramunga by Greg Kater, I find it interesting.

The character of Johnny Cook was grasping as he was seen struggling through the thick jungles of Malaya.

For me, I think the book will be appealing to lovers of adventures, and it would deserve 4 out of 4 stars based on its enthralling characters.

I like the storyline. A British Intelligence agent kidnapped in a foreign land would always make an interesting read.

The book had its ups and downs. Some of the parts were the good action and resourcefulness the characters showed in the book. A major let down was the fact that the unusual way everyone reacted to Sarah. Also, the fact that the book lacked real suspense and the plot was really predictable, put me off.

This has been a great read! I love the Jamie and Jacki characters. I wish there had been a bigger part for Sarah. I am almost finished and I would rate this 4 out of 4 stars,!
