3.5 rounded up. I enjoyed this with the caveat that it feels like it was written in the 80s and it's a little James Bond mixed with Austin Powers?

I really loved this book in the beginning. It started of completely engaging and unique - it captivated me immediately. Though the last third of the book sort of trailed along without purpose, and the ending was not sufficiently "big" enough compared to the beginning. Daniel O'Malley is clearly a very creative writer. I would consider another of his books in the future.
