Negative Positive
Title: Simplistic writing; exploitative passages; naive analysis
Review: What a fascinating story and what a dissapointing book. The book is written at the high school level at best. But aside from the authorship, most troubling was the level of pure exploitation of Hanssen's perversity. The lengthy quotation from Hanssen's pornography (including an entire appendix) can only be considered gratuitous. Why humiliate Mrs. Hanssen by offering her husband's lewd tales of their sex life? Finally, the virtually fawning descriptions of Louis Freeh's career show a very naive understanding of the way such cases are brought, and it is disrepectful of the many agents and line prosecutors who actually brought Hanssen to justice.
