pickOnly took me two-and-a-half years to finish reading it. I purchased this book about 2 months before our son was born and have been reading it off-and-on ever since. I really did enjoy it. WWI spy novels are few-and-far between. This is where spies really developed into an organized group within government intelligence communities. Quite interesting read.
pickI don't read these kinds of books at all so I'm not sure how to rate them, but I'm going with a pick because I found myself thinking about the main characters and wondering how they were. This is not an action-packed thriller; it's more of a quiet tension that keeps you engaged. Very slow in parts, but to me that was like I was experiencing time alongside the characters. Interesting era, as well.
There's a small Goodwill storefront in my town that sells books and cds. Every now and then I stop in to see what's new. Found this one and thought I'd give it a try.
Seriously guys. I don‘t know how long it will take me to read this book. I actually like it, but I get so sidetracked with life. I‘m taking calls at work today so it‘s good to have a book to cut the boredom. But seriously it‘s a good read. 😃
So I totally forgot I was reading this when my son was born four months ago, but then saw it on my bookshelf with a bookmark. So I‘m picking up where I left off when all I had the mental capacity for was old volumes of ‘The Walking Dead‘ from the NYPL.
Found my new favorite independent bookstore: Inquiring Minds in Saugerties, NY. Picked up "Jack Of Spies" while on vacation and so far I'm enjoying the pre-WWI spy novel.
