adventurous funny fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

Gripping and adventurous, the book is very very macho centric, even the lead female character had to be macho but overall a fast pace, action packed read. The book also explores the political backdrop of the time where 1980s Indonesia was ruled by a regime where the military was the highest power at play.
