EL ESPIA INGLES

Daniel Silva

4.03 AVERAGE


Just when you think you have figured out how Silva writes a novel... he throws you a huge curve ball. This book is that... and it is excellently thrown!

One last hurrah before Gabriel takes over The Office? Yes? No? Maybe? This story unfolds with just the "inside characters" Friends on foreign forces... as it were. This story takes Gabriel to uncharted territory... places he has never been and makes places he loves - less lovable.

I loved every minute of this book!

A very good book made better by an excellent oral presentation. Something about the English perspective and story-telling that I find particularly compelling.

Not my favourite in this series. The plot jumps around to the point where it gets hard to follow and it feels like things fall too neatly into Allon's hands. But I was grateful to be spared the nonsensical description of his nose looking like it was carved from wood.

I really liked how Silva went to new places with this book. Probably one of the top two novels in this series.
