Title: Hepburn on Intrigue
Product review: I certainly would like to read a different book on espionage, intrigue, spying as rendered in fiction. The topic is fascinating. But this book is not THE book; it needs a strong rewrite. It might be a wonderful work for someone trying for an advanced degree who submits it to a roundtable of scholars with time on their hands. But Mr. Hepburn is already a Ph.D.; is this his submission? I think the best piece of writing--the one that is always quoted--is the first sentence of the book. It is down hill from there. Check out page 73, where he presents his equation for the idea of character. I hope his lectures are many times more interesting.
