Title: Deighton meets D. Gilman
Product review: Well, how to start?I used to be a fan of Mr. D. stories until now. I'm Polish and the area covered by "Hope" is familiat to me and yet something has sounded wrong from the very beginning. It is not a sense of English humor. I enjoy it. It was the reality of Communist Poland in the waning '80, presented by Deighton. Briefly, it is BS in plain words. I have completed first 66 pages and gave in. Enough is enough. If it were Fleming and J. Bond, I would understand. There are no excuses. "Hope" is hopeless. I have given 2 stars for some dialogues which are still vivid and funny.
