Title: what a dull debut for such a great writer
Product review: Silva's Gabriel Allon series are collectively, my favorite books. I've read the whole series through at least twice. So I thought I'd see where the author got his start and checked out The Unlikely Spy from my local library. I didn't even get through the first fifty pages, which is what I usually allow for a book to grab my interest. The beginning of the book is sufficiently boring to quash any interest in further reading, but I think for readers like myself, who discovered Silva during his brilliant Allon books, it's particularly disappointing to see the talent that would come along later that evidently wasn't there in the beginning. I guess it's not how you start...
