This novel was both hilarious and grim. The irony against forms of bureaucracy that claim authority over the people is what makes this a great anti-war novels
I thought the writing was good and the characters were interesting. The research into the space program was decent, I just wish there was more of it
A Bookseller in Madrid has a ton of great information about Spanish politics and geopolitics of the time, an angle I haven’t read about before
There’s a lot happening in Songs for the Deaf by Kenneth A. Silver, from economic issues, politics, history, and morality all in the post Vietnam War era
This is a good book, not one of Grisham’s best but certainly far from his worst. There aren’t many twists in the traditional sense, there is suspense
There’s a lot going on in both books, but I though this book had a lot more information to absorb besides the mystery. Not that I would have figured it out
The thrill of adventure is, of course, a large part of The Rembrandt Affair by Daniel Silva, but reminds us that we cannot escape history
Emilia is brave, but the horrors of the battlefield, the inhumanity of humans show her another aspect that she wasn’t exposed to in her intellectual upbringing
Scorpius by James Gardner follows James, Bond, agent 007, as he infiltrates a religious cult run by a terrorist whose goal is to assassinate politicians
I enjoyed books in a similar vein, but after a strong start, the pace of The Library of Lost Dollhouses by Elise Hooper slowed down
