Icon by Frederick Forsyth

4.0

One of the best of Forsyth. Maybe it's bcz I like Russia very much but even then the portrayal of the great country is a must read. You will feel that you are sitting by the Moskva river and enjoying the cool Russian breeze.

The character portrayal is the masterpiece of Forsyth. Without any bias, without any direct reference as to who is the protagonist, he just narrates the events. We understand the character of a person simply from the events. His character will be as we decipher it; not as to the novelist's choosing. That is where Forsyth wields his magic.

This is a fantastic thriller, from the beginning to the end. You won't put down this book if you like a good story. Just read it. I will give it a 4/5
