Title: It took me a year but it was worth it
Review: Enjoying a writer is not a passive process. One has to work at it and here one does. At over 900 pages with many diversions and side stories the story all comes together. The plot is very straightforward and the narrative is easy to follow. I learned a great deal more than I already known about many issues - cryptography, ww2, philippines and much more. There were some real laugh out loud moments. This is a book that will stay in my head. I'd rather have 900 pages of this than 10 books of mediocre nonsense. I was sad to finish it.
