Negative Positive
Title: Another exhausted source
Review: This book is clearly "made to sell" and this is its major flaw. The plot is interesting, albeit not new (planting a mole behind the enemy lines is spycraft standard business). But the way the idea has been taken into words is definitely disappointing. A relevant part of the book seems to be written just to satisfy the publisher, buy forcing the reader through hundred of pages of boring memoirs. The research (one of Mr. Forsyth strongest merit) is definitely not meeting the usual standard. To put it short: this book could have been written in less than a half of its actual page numbers.
Is the review positive or negative?
