A review by theconstantreader
Greenmantle by John Buchan
3.0
Ragging on this book for being unbelievable is akin to watching any movie with Jason Statham in it and getting upset that the stunts are wild. You've got to appreciate it for what is and tune out that critical part of your mind to jump on board for a good yarn if you want to get into this book.
It started off really strong for me and I was enjoying it more than The Thirty-Nine Steps which is the first book in the series. Unfortunately though it dragged on that little bit too long for me to continue to enjoy reading it quite as much as I had during the first third of the book.
Nevertheless, it is fun and entertaining. Full of twists and turns, close calls and getaways. This book is everything you'd expect from an adventure-spy novel.
