Pretty, pretty good...
I picked it up prior to my vacation and started reading it on the plane. At first I was skeptical... I didn't quite care for the writing style and felt like it might dive into Dan Brown depths of clumsy exposition and pseudo noir. But very quickly I was immersed and really grew to appreciate some of the author's style and tricks.
Since he's a screenwriter I can easily imagine him hoping to make a movie out of it, but I think that would be a mistake. A book like this needs a miniseries at least, and it would have the potential to be an awesome one.
Another one I just read is Red Sparrow by Jason Matthews. The first in a series. Excellent as well. Highly, highly recommended again.
IM finishing up Alex Berenson's stuff now. It's a step below the other two I mentioned but still entertaining.
It drags for a short spell but it evolves. Stick with it. The final third is really good.
To each his own Billy. Glad you're enjoying the book. Ludlum is fun too. No complaints there.
Some of the timeline confuses me, but it doesn't really matter. The book is great.
Not as much a spy thriller, but still a great, suspenseful, historical-ish mystery.
Even though I read it on Kindle, I felt the need to go back and see if I had missed something. However, as he began to tie the characters together in the plot, I found the book creative and interesting.
It is definitely a book I would recommend for fans of espionage.
