 Why can I NEVER find Roderick Thorpe's novel that Die Hard was based on? - The CHUD.COM Message Boards
The terrorists don't speak English, and we don't encounter the "main terrorist" until Leland does, so the Gruber character is not extraordinarily well developed.
Leland's also more emotional and a deeper character in the book.
Other excellent Thorp cop novels are Rainbow Drive, Devlin, and River - forget SOTL or Red Dragon, in my humble opinion the latter is the best serial killer novel yet written.

 MILESAGO - Groups & Solo Artists - Billy Thorpe & The Aztecs
While hardly an earth-shattering debut (a pedestrian beat-influenced song with tinny recording, dominated by Thorpe's reedy whine), the record garnered moderate notice on Sydney radio, and actually became a proper hit when it was re-released in the wake of The Aztecs' subsequent breakthrough.
According to Thorpe, the band (at this time comprising he, Murphy, Warren Morgan, Lobby Loyde and bassist Paul Wheeler), was flying on LSD while hapless engineer Ernie Rose just let the tapes roll.
Thorpe himself sees this as a pivotal moment in the development of Australian music, thanks to the promoters' decision to feature an all-Australian lineup, rather than relying on imported stars..

 Twisted (2004) - A Review by David Nusair
It's that rare film that doesn't work on any level, from the acting to the cinematography to the story, and makes one wonder exactly what screenwriter Sarah Thorpe was thinking when she wrote it.
It's absolutely the wrong note with which to start the story, and asking us to accept Ashley Judd as a cop with violent tendencies is absurd (it's the sort of thing an audience needs to be eased into, not slapped across the face with in the first scene).
Simplistic, stereotypical characters populate this story (there's a smarmy detective who doesn't trust Jessica that's apparently been included just so he can respect her later) and their behavior always feels dictated by the labored machinations of the script.

 CSULB Online 49er: v10n109: Uninsured may have hope
The cost analysis of the plan was led by Kenneth E. Thorpe, chairman of the Department of Health Policy and Management at Emory University’s Rollins School of Public Health.
Although a $7.8 billion tab sounds daunting, Thorpe suggested that the cost could easily be divided between the state government, which would pay $4.5 billion; businesses, which would pay about $3.2 billion; and individuals, who would pay $63 million.
Bodaken, a seemingly unlikely advocate of universal health care, said that a one percent sales tax or a 0.7 percent hike in the state income tax could help pay for health coverage for California’s 6.6 million uninsured residents.
