I Am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes

4.0

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It wasn't without flaws but it was compelling, well planned and had an intricate and fascinating storyline.

My main peeve was something trivial but it really bugged me. It would often give away at the start of a chapter something that would happen later on eg "I made the decision to do this, which I would later realise was a mistake". It really annoyed me!

The characters were believable and flawed. I know nothing about the American covert agencies but it felt real. All the characters ('good' and 'bad') had believable motivations and felt very human. A thrilling read. Not difficult despite its length!
