City of Spies

so-so

While this was a very quick read, it was really only so-so. It felt more like the author was a side character to someone else's story and neither did a good job telling their story or told her own. I appreciated some of the factual history of Pakistan but the truly interesting and important moments of their history, she neither experienced or spoke more than a paragraph on.

Kayla.Adriena I liked this book and thought it could have been so much more too! It was a quick read! 5y

This #tradedbook actually came from a Litsy swap for me for #halfbloodbingo #bookbingo. Very well written and nuanced. A kids look at a major political moment In Pakistan.

Meh didn't love it, didn't hate it. At least it was quick albeit boring.

While it is not badly written, this is a book that is not for me. It‘s technically fiction, but based on real events, and I found it dreadfully dull, tedious, slow-going. I think I just need to stop reading literary fiction told from the viewpoint of a child. I cannot connect with the narrator in these cases and spend most of my time waiting for the narrator/author to get to the point. š¤·š¸»ā€¨ā™€ļø¸

There‘s a blast from the past I didn‘t expect in a historical fiction novel about 1970s Pakistan! I loved watching CHiPs when I was little! šˇ
