My first K&R book and first raffle win, I was pleasantly surprised. Normally, this genre is not my typical read. However, I was won over by the wonderful story and writing. I was initially intrigued by the various characters and could not figure out how they were interconnected. As the story progressed, I felt obligated to try to figure it out before the reveal at the end. Full of action, European languages that I had to look up, and an amazing cast of characters, this book deserves top rating. I can envision the book being turned into a movie and being a blockbuster. My last thought was curiosity if organizations from the book actually exist in the real world. Maybe it is best if I do not know the truth.
