Me? Reading spy fiction? What a shock!

I didn't realise this was satire until I started reading it, so that was a bit of a surprise for me, but I enjoyed it nonetheless once I had adjusted my expectations. I thought the characterisation and descriptions of Havana were fantastic, but I felt that the plot was a little lacking - hence the three stars. Enjoyed, but probably won't reread!
