2.0 out of 5 stars Shallow and stupid, March 28, 2008

This review is from: Enemy of My Enemy (Paperback)

Wow, was this book ever dumb. The characters are all stupid, some more so than others. The protagonists, while naive and shallow, are the least stupid so they get to 'outsmart' the bad guys...I think. I couldn't finish the book, but that's the way it was headed. The narrative is extremely flat and predictable without much descriptive detail. Honestly, it reminds me of a freshman writing project more than a spy 'thriller'. I hope to god the real spies are smarter than this book describes, or we're all doomed!

This was an excellent spy novel, right up there with Daniel Silva. I really look forward to more novels by Mr. Topol.
