Again found that this book wasn't my cup of tea. Donated it to the library. ( )

I tried to read this book through to the end, I really did. But, after three attempts of not really getting into it, I just finally gave up. ( )

It took me a little while to get into this book. Partly personal because I hate coming in to a series without having read the prior books & partly because it seemed to skip around a lot. Once it got going though it was good. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters, I found the bits of it a bit slow going but I'm not really a spy novel person. I handed it over to my husband, who is and while he also found it a hard start he enjoyed it enough to go find the first book. Overall it was a good read ( )

I just could not get in to this book and trust me I tried. The time period (Berlin, 1946, WWII over and Europe trying to recover) is a fantastic spring board for writing a great and compelling story. This book's beginning was disjointed (as others have pointed out) and the story line seemed too "cutesy" for me. I could not connect with the book's protagonist and maybe reading the first volume would have helped there. ( )

This book started out disjointed; and I assume it's because I didn't read 'Book 1' of the series, but it cleans up nicely, and ends up being an enjoyable read. ( )
