Librum "6nomad9" (CA, USA) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)

This review is from: The Company (Paperback)

TC is a fine novel, through and through. In the span of 894 quick-reading pages, I noted only two annoying plot elements -- both, brief and of trivial importance. I'm in no position to judge whether TC conveys a truthful picture of the CIA or not. Judged from that perspective, it may well merit a low rating. Judged as a novel, only, I rate it quite high. It's hard to imagine a more engaging and adroitly weaved tale of spycraft, nor a more believable one. I look forward to reading other Littell novels.

This review is from: The Company (Paperback)

Liked it better than Mailer's Harlot's Ghost. Liked it so well that I am propelled into reading more re CIA (Legacy of Ashes) and more by Littell (The Debriefing).

I'm even thinking eventually to return to the Mamiler book.
