The 39 Steps by John Buchan

2.0

I read this because it fulfilled the "espionage thriller" category of the reading challenge. Also, it was short. I really did not get into this one. A big problem was that I completely didn't understand the core conflict of the story - like what the main character was trying to prevent from happening, who the bad guys were, etc. Also, there were no female characters in this story -except maybe one woman who was in a house the main character was stopping at. But I don't think she even had any lines of dialogue. Anyway - category fulfilled!
