Thriller/mystery. Well paced. Lots of traveling. Main character could have been more interesting. He seems to have led an exciting life but it doesn't seem to have left any mark on him. Adding a few female characters might have made a difference for me.

ঈদের দিন ফেসবুক এ ঘাটাঘাটি করতে করতে কি মনে করে হঠাৎ বইটার লিংক পেয়ে ডাউনলোড করে পড়া শুরু করলাম। তারপর শুধুই শক্ত করে দাঁত কামড়ে শব্দের পর শব্দ পড়ে যাওয়া। খুবই ছোট একটা বই। কিন্তু কেন যেন বই টা হাতে নেওয়ার পর থেকে টাইম ডাইলেশন শুরু হইল। শেয আর হয় না।
রিভিউ লিখতে একটু ও ইচ্ছা করতেছে না। মোদ্দা কথা রিভিউ আর কি লিখবো, কাহিনী এমনই বোরিং লাগছে যে ৫ মিনিট চেষ্টা করে ও লেখার মতো কিছু মনে করতে ব্যর্থ হইলাম। মস্তিষ্ক কে ধন্যবাদ, গল্প টা নিজে থেকেই আমূল ভুলে গিয়ে আমাকে রেহাই দেওয়ার জন্য।
হয়তোবা অনুবাদ টা অনেক সংক্ষিপ্ত আকারে করা হয়েছে এই কারনে ভাল লাগে নাই।

“If you are playing a part, you will never keep it up unless you convince yourself that you are it. ”

I'm glad that The Thirty-Nine Steps is a short book, because it isn't an exciting or entertaining read.

The main character, Richard Hanney, is static and bland and his narrative is dry and emotionless. I couldn't connect with his character or understand his motives.

The premise is intriging, but the plot is boring and repetitive. The spy business is vague and dull. Things always seem to work out for the main character, so it never felt like he was in danger.

I was hoping to read a thrilling spy novel, but I'm disappointed.
