A review by tartancrusader
Basil's War by Stephen Hunter

3.0

Didn't really like this one, and I'm not altogether sure why. My best guess is that I didn't find the protagonist particularly well-formed - he seemed a mish-mash of Wodehousian tics nail-gunned onto The Gentleman Rhymer. Also you never got the sense that he was in any real danger of being caught at any point in the story (even when he was, briefly, caught), which left the whole thing feeling a little flat.

Oh well, at least it was short.
