seg1230 's review for:

The 39 Steps by John Buchan

---

I know this is a staple in the espionage thriller genre, but I don't know... Between the blasé antisemitism or the fact I couldn't understand any of the parts that were written in "Scottish", this just didn't do it for me. I also was completely uninterested in the plot until about 2/3 of the way through the book, which is never a good sign. If I wasn't reading this for a reading challenge, I probably wouldn't have finished it.
