I am just about finished with it now, and although this is not a book I would ever have read if it wasn't given to me by a friend, it was extremely fascinating. I usually don't do espionage books, or war books, this has a twist that had my jaw drop....and the premise is almost believable. I can't say more without giving it away, but I am still wondering if this book doesn't have more truth than history books.

I will say that I have not read a book with more spelling errors, grammar errors, or just plain missing words or phrases. I hope that the editor was fired.

Thanks for bringing the weekly "what are you reading" thread back. I didn't realize how much I missed it.
