  • Even in the 21st century

    This story holds up! Great stuff even as unlikely as it is. New movie comes in April, a remake of the 1981 movie. Goes to show that good stories never get old
  • Good to the last word

    The Amateur is written so convincingly that I felt like it passed over from the line of fiction into the line of reality. I could sense a feeling of Heller, the main character, having been betrayed by those he believed in and at the same time his unprofessionalism in his role at the CIA, gave him a feeling of superiority because his grasp of the fine implications of each action performed by CIA superiors. I suggest you read it and hopefully it’ll be as thoroughly enjoyable as it was for me.
  • Not the best Littell (the father) book

    The electronic copy was damaged towards the end of chapter 1. For the rest, this clearly isn’t Dear Robert Littell’s best book, IMO not as taught or crazy as his best. I should have known when I saw the Mick Herron endorsement.
