sickwithsin 's review for:
Red Sparrow
by Jason Matthews
449 pages of Mary Sue breasting boobily throughout Europe.
The main male character is very obviously an author insert.
I could have maybe looked past those aspects if they had been used in a satirical/sarcastic way, or if the plot had been particularly compelling. But they weren't and it wasn't. I think the author was more focused on fantasizing about sex with a secret agent and showing off knowledge of the inner workings of the CIA than crafting a readable novel.
