I have zero interest in politics too. However, I can't deny the intrusion of politics in our lives and the politicians' great influence on ordinary citizens. This book is perhaps less about politics and ideology and more about the devastating effects of an insatiable lust for power.

Thanks for a wonderful review!
:D Only one small observation. I do believe an experienced editor could make the book look much better since the story itself is quite interesting if you like reading about conspiracy theories, a neverending game for power, the clash between agents of different secret services, etc.

I was already thrilled by this thriller until I read about the poor editing, congested subplots and lack of depth of female characters. Shame! Great review though.

I believe you had a GREAT review. I was really pulled in when I was reading it. However, until the grammatical errors, subplot views and character depth are improved, I'll have to wait. Thank you for an amazing review!

I like spy novels, but I wish there were more female characters. Otherwise, this doesn’t sound af it would be too awful.
