very good book until the end. the end was disappointing

Great book that's not too taxing on the brain, lengthy but it kept me hooked

Other than the sexism, racism, made up unrealistic science, and the main character's obnoxious ego, it wasn't bad. If nothing else it is a fast paced spy novel. You just have to ignore the aspects I mentioned.
It wasn't a horrible read and was entertaining. It should have been a movie or written in third person; it would have been more palatable. I probably won't recommend it to anyone.

Loved this engaging and relevant thriller from Terry Hayes! As it happened, an event in the story took place on 9-11 and coincidentally I was reading the book on 9-11. Pretty eery.

Some reviewers have complained that they couldn't get into the book at first. I encourage you to hang in there. Events start off with a bang and some of the early incidents don't seem related, but I am so glad I persisted. The story is worth it! And everything makes sense in the end. Check it out!

Loved it. The development of the characters was so good, the stories within the larger story kept this thing moving along. Clever plot, unique narrative, perfect amount of suspense and intensity with out going way overboard. So good
