4 1/2 stars. Dominika Egorova is a ballerina, who after a devastating injury, is basically blackmailed into going to Sparrow school by her conniving uncle, a higher-up in Russia’s SVR, the successor to the KGB. Never comfortable or happy with the idea, Dominika does everything she can to put that behind her and be seen as a true operative without resorting to sparrow ways. As she becomes involved in an operation to ensnare an American CIA officer, Nate Nash, her loyalties and ambitions are tested. In the meantime, a Russian spy labeled MARBLE is giving the SVR fits and ultimately Dominika gets involved there too. There are a lot of characters in the story but they are all nicely carved out and the action and suspense are fantastic. The details of spycraft on both the American and Russian sides are fascinating to read. Looking forward to the next one.
I've read worse books, however, the storyline was very 1-dimensional and there was very little character development. I found the book to be quite a chore to finish.
I felt like this was some high school boys wet dream. No thanks.

omygod what does this book suck, i can just feel the fact that its written by a men and that makes me gag, not the good kind.
i would not recomend this book it sucks and dont waste your time! cant wait to bring it to a thrift store since i dont want this tragedy of writing on my shelves.
I am going to watch the film just for the fun of it and compare the both.
i cannot preface this enough, this book made me get into a reading slump, not the fact that i just didnt want to read, i wanted to read but just really heavy not this book. sadly enough im the type of person who just cant read two books at a time.

the narrative depended alot on the fact that the main character can see these coloured auras that basically depicted who she could and could not trust. but like she was always correct about which just scientifically didnt make sense. Why would you want to ruin a meticulously planned spy book where you know you cant afford to have plot holes with this harry potter halo stuff??? And she was always right because shes the main character and everything just has to work out for her doesnt it.
anyways it was quite a page turner i even had an ice cream at hungry jacks on the last day of school whilst reading this (also i am very depressed that they are no longer selling that blue bubblegum stuff with the marshmallows like nothing can ever compare to that artificially looking stuff man i had to substitute it with this m&m sundae and i got sick halfway eating that frozen chocolate urgh)
