Book Reviews of The Double Agents: A Men at War Novel
Book Review: A real snoozer
Summary: 2 Stars
This is the first Griffin novel I've read, and I apparently got very unlucky. Perhaps 30 or 40 pages of this novel serve to advance the fairly thin plot. The rest is painfully boring filler, to the point that I found myself skimming several times. There is very little here in terms or action or field operations. Most of the book revolves around things like Canidy's philosophies about espionage and love, or the mundane details and logistics behind running a covert spy operation.
I'll put it this way: if you think you might enjoy reading a long and detailed dramatization of how real spies might have decided what to write in the fake love letters they were planting on a corpse, or think you would enjoy reading the thorough character development of the woman chosen to write the letters, even though she's otherwise inconsequential to the plot, you will very much like this book. Otherwise, you may want to pass.
