A review by courtneyann
The Holcroft Covenant by Robert Ludlum
3.0
3.25*
I should have read the cover to fully understand what this book was about. I think it would have helped me during the reading process. There were so many characters, so many secret operatives that were pretending to be on different sides, and so many different German secret societies that it was difficult to keep the plot and it's many characters/motives straight. It wasn't until 3/4 of the way through the book that I decided to read through the inside flap to see what the summary was - and while it gave pretty much the entire plot away, it made everything so much more clear! If a book depends upon it's summary that much - and especially a thriller/suspense book nonetheless - then it's probably not the book for me.
