A review by cooeeaus
The Miernik Dossier by Charles McCarry
3.0
This was a different sort of novel written in letter or report style to tell of events happening on the ground. We have a group of spies and civilians (perhaps), who may be spies going off into Sudan together on a trip, with the probability of bandits and communists everywhere. They are all on some kind of spy mission for their perspective governments.
I found the novel slow at times and passages irrelevant at other times. I skimmed over some towards the end as I lost some interest in what was going to happen! The climax wasn't a climax at all as you're expecting it!
Overall 70% was interesting and kept me reading but the other 30% was too long or boring and unnecessary details.
For those who like spy stories perhaps this might be a good read for everyone else there are some good parts and some not so good, it depends on if you will persevere with it or not!
