I was looking forward reading this book. Interesting topic and with the writing skills of Robert Harris this only could be a great read.
However, I was underwhelmed (to say the least). Sure there were lots of interesting facts and you always learn something new in a Robert Harris book. But the story was bland and uninspired, partly because the characters were one-dimensional.
It looked like, at some point, Harris was done with the story and just ended it.
To me, this book is 2,5 star.

A good, solid Harris book. He's predictably entertaining and manages once again to weave a compelling storyline from very thin material.
