The Thirty-Nine Steps by John Buchan
3.0

the story doesnt come off as credible, (too lucky, to ready to believe things, etc) and the narrator doesnt come off as real. who flees wanted for murder without a drop of anxiety or worry that their life is over forever? But its worth reading for its influence as the first spy thriller. and its short and not boring. so worth the read. (Actually being chased down by the airplane only happens in the Hitchcock movie though.)
