lizzywhite99 's review for:
I Am Pilgrim
by Terry Hayes
alrighty it’s been 2 years since i last read this bad boy, still holds up and i love it. think i’ve read it maybe 5 times but it’s not quite as great as i remember. interesting what things i forgot about it.
plot is great wow 5/5, lots of different stories going on, all can be tied together in some way. don’t like crime and spy books but this is an exception.
forgotten how irritating the protagonist can be - huge ego, he really stresses how “handsome, charming and sexy” he is. hmmm pass.
author is a bit misogynistic, not enough that it’s glaring but you do notice it. also i think it doesn’t have the best depictions of the many middle eastern characters in the book - it’s like every american is a goodie, almost every middle eastern, afghan, turk and greek is a baddie. not great.
anywho, i recommend
