Title: Good idea for a spy story very poorly done
Review: A very fun premise. It was so fun, and the beginning of the book so compelling that I was caught up. I waited for the characters to come to life, waited for an editor's touch to enliven the leaden prose. After hundreds of pages, when Our Hero is up to his neck in trouble, I stopped waiting. I was worn down. I didn't care what happened next; it wouldn't be worth the effort of further suspending my disbelief. Verdict: a waste of my time.
