scribal 's review for:

Spy Hook by Len Deighton
2.0

I may have to re-review this after I read another Deighton book this was my first. It might be my last. I really couldn't get into the rhythm of the writing at all. And I found nothing to like or care about in Samson as a protagonist or narrator--he just seemed kind of blank and without agency as all the other characters played him. I could go on and on about aspects that annoyed me but I won't.

It's not that I didn't get what was going on--I guessed the vague outcome in the first few chapters and I was almost yelling "hey dude!....(vague spoiler).." I will probably try at least one other Deighton book before I give up.
