burialshroud 's review for:
The Thirty-Nine Steps
by John Buchan
Richard Hannay finds life so boring that he decides to get framed for murder, goes on the lam and becomes embroiled in some espionage. It's a perfectly adequate novel. I was on the Penguin Classics website flicking through the celebrity favourites, looking for a book to read. Ugh, they were all too long, or too about something boring so I ended up going with Jeffrey Archer's recommendation (?!), The Thirty-Nine Steps. Murder! Disguises! Espionage! Barely more than 100 pages long! Read it, don't read it. It's not life-changing.
