I liked this book, although I don't have a lot to say about it. It is well written, a great blend of serious and light hearted in the right places. A coming of age story set against the background of conflicts of many kinds and battle-wounded landscaped - much like the character himself - the story is both heartwarming and inspirational in the end.
This book takes place during the Cold War, with the first chapter taking place in London with a Russian spy. This book is definitely a book of espionage and thrill that will have you turning page after page, on the edge of your seat.
It's very well written with great detail, that displays a perfect image of what is taking place during the bard times of the Cold War. Misery and sorrow are definitely portrayed properly in this book, as I felt strong and sad emotions during this read.
The author is going to throw a lot of characters at you, so I'd recommend keeping track of the names mentioned. I took a lot of mental notes, and even added a few in my kindle. It's a book I am going to recommend to my grandfather, because I know he likes these types of books. I give it 5/5.… (més)
