Title: Careful reading
Review: I read this book when it first came out and recently read a magazine article praising it. After re-reading it I am puzzled by other reviews. It is a slow moving spy thriller with little action. Worse, this novel has a strong anti-western slant. It's filled with stereotypes and is very condescending to any person who knows basic history. All the characters aside from the main protagonist are caricatures. Want to read a thriller? Check out the non-fiction "Unbroken".
Is the review positive or negative?
