somehow this international spy thriller is kind of boring? For me it just makes no sense that Argylle would join the CIA and the whole thing falls off from there.

The book was fun in many ways. It had a lot of the right ingredients. But I had such a hard time paying attention. Restarted the book four times. Lots of great passages, but overall, I couldn’t get into it. Kept at it because the movie looks good, though I realize it’s a somewhat different premise. Hope the movie is better!
