A review by phlegyas
Calculated Risk by Katherine Neville
5.0
(read this in its Hellenic translation)
I absolutely love this book. Although this is not my usual genre, I absolutely loved it.
The story is gripping, the pace is wonderful, the research behind it must have taken some time (granted, not as much as Kostova's Historian but still), the characters are very likable and one in particular, the main character's mentor and computer whiz or guru, is absolutely wonderful.
I've read other books by Neville as well but I can certainly say that even if others may be better books (the Eight comes to mind), better researched and on a much greater scale, this is the one I thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish.
