tsubramaniam 's review for:

Red Sparrow by Jason Matthews
4.0

Despite what I felt was a slow start, I ultimately really enjoyed this book. The little recipes were a fun way to break up the intense chapters and of course I found myself rooting for Domi and Nate. I never saw the Jennifer Lawrence movie based on this book but I’m definitely interested in seeing how it compares.

Based on what I had heard about the book and given its title, I was expecting more emphasis on the Sparrow School, which I had assumed was an elite training program and not a school teaching the art of seduction for spying purposes. Still, the writing style and onslaught of details reminded me of Advise and Consent, with its historical yet not rose tinted view of the past.
