Beware of reader

The printed version would probably have rated much higher for me.The advanced technology elements, such as the brain implant, and the fanciful elements, such as the endless supply of money, were fun. So were the action scenes, spies, and political intrigue, but I did not connect with any character. They were all extremely unlikable people and this made it difficult to get lost in the story. In addition to this difficulty, the reader's monotone and stiff speech made it nearly impossible to pay attention.

I have never heard a reader make action scenes so incredibly boring as Gramour does with Room 1515. I know I missed significant parts of the story because the reader's flat tone of voice and lack of inflection made it difficult to pay attention. I nearly quit many times, but I didn't have anything else to listen to. In short, the reader ruined this book for me.

I plan to look for the next book in the series, but I won't buy it if Gramour is the reader.

Solid story but poor ending

An American spy with no name is a sleeper agent in China. After meeting a Chinese woman he is activated by his masters to attempt to turn a group of Chinese agents.\

Our man survives many attempts on his life and for a new agent is very resourceful solving problems his agency has struggled with for years.

This story starts well enough but looses its way totally at the end. The ending is all wrapped up in about two short chapters. It felt like that the author has painted himself into a corner and needed to wrap up the story to move on.

This book feels like a screen play, a" Bourne Identity" type story. A film would be able to wrap this ending much better than the written word.

According to some of his readership this is one of McCarry's lesser works so I'll give some others a try.

Literature quality spy thriller

The style of this novel is between Kafka and Le Carre .It has the atmosphere of loneliness of the Hero that both Kafka and Le Carre cherish and like a Kafka character the Hero moves in an absurd world,the world of "smoke and mirrors",as Le Carre would put it.

The Hero,whose name we do not know,an upper class east coaster from the right schools and voluntary military service as an officer,fluent in Mandarin Chinese ,is sent as a CIA agent,toShanghai essentially to act as bait for the Chinese secret services.

He becomes involved both professionally and sentimentally with the Chinese and subsequently,back in the USA he enters a game of intellectual dueling with a Chinese agent,each trying to entrap the other as a traitor of his side.On top of it the Hero comes on the bad side of a Chinese Mogul and that involves physical risk .

The ending is not what was expected either from the Hero or from the Reader.

The novel is very well plotted,the characters are extremely interesting,the prose is of high literature quality.my only reservation is that the "Deus ex machina" intervening at the end is rather not adequately developed character,however interesting.

A very good read.

An Intelligent Spy Novel

The writing in this book. unlike some other spy novels and "thrillers" is excellent. I heard the author speak in an NPR interview and was intrigued enough to pick up a copy. The author, being a former US intelligence officer, givers an honest portrayal of how intelligence is actually gathered and the slow work of planning operations that are less glamorous than the James Bond spies that many of us grew up on - although the protagonist does have a Bondian ability to meet fascinating women at every turn.

Language: English

Release date: 07-11-13

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Espionage

Publisher's Summary:

From a real-life female gunrunner comes this international best seller and unforgettable literary debut.

Ten years ago, Eva Maria Staal kept a gun in her purse. It was a present from her boss, Jimmy Liu, the international arms dealer extraordinaire with a taste for high-class male escorts. Together, Jimmy and his devoted assistant traveled the worlds most dangerous hotspots, closing deals with ruthless warlords and corrupt generals, and trading Stinger missiles in Karachi, AK-47s in Chechnya, and hollow-point bullets in Islamabad. But burdened by her conscience, Eva Maria finally got out, married an optometrist, and had a baby. Now, assailed with memories of her secret life, she must reconcile her suburban present with a repressed but ineradicable past, one that blasts a hole so deep she doesnt know how to love her own daughter. Writing with a knowing intelligence only an insider could provide, this pseudonymous author has created a debut with remarkable intensity that examines the razor-thin line separating those who are drowned from those who are saved.

Exciting

I thought this was an exciting read, interesting in its subject matter (a bit off-beat for me) and well written. No boring passages, held my attention throughout. Enjoyed following the protagonist's various difficulties. I would recommend it, although it's not going to stay with you for long after you've finished it.

Fascinating, quirky, suspenseful

I love this short but adventure-packed story. The characters were all interesting and the events kept me riveted. I hope to read more books by this writer.

FRIGHTENING REALITY!

Both my husband and I read this book that we won on Goodreads. We both enjoyed the book as we do like thrillers and mysteries, but to know that this actually exists and that the author was part of it, was a bit terrifying to me. The books seems to give a very accurate portrayal of the people and the lives that arms dealers live and you are compelled to keep reading as the story is quite hypnotic.

Realizing that the author actually participated in this international arms dealing seemed almost surreal to me, and I think that at times I didn't realize that it has happened in real life, and quickly had to think again about how this was reality and how dangerous it was. It really is shocking at times to know how much danger this involved to be in this situation.

The author did a great job in relating the story and for anyone who likes intrigue and some rather shocking information, this is a good book for you to read.

Interesting peek into some very dark places...

Since I make it a habit of not reading book jackets before I read a book, half way through the book I read the background of the author. When I realized that the author had actually lived the stories in the book, I found the saga even more compelling. Not for every reader, I feel that I am much more educated about the arms trade that takes place around the world. Some parts of life are cruel. Swisher, West Chester, Pa.

Members Reviews:

Average story, below average performance

A Russian, world-class skater wants to defect to the U.S., so solicits help from an U.S. skater. The male half of a Russian skating team solicits help from the female half of a U.S. team, while their respective partners express jealousy. Circumstances allow the defector and his new friend to leave a competition and race the defector to U.S. authorities. I will not go into much more since I don't want to spoil the story for others.

Before beginning this book, I completed two very well written and performed books, so perhaps my expectations were too high; but, I found this story slow in the beginning and disappointing when it did pick up in pace. I expected more action as the two traveled across the U.S., but not much happened - they even stopped to play tourists. The plot is not particularly original, but I did like what little the author included about the skating world. The romance aspects were fine and the protagonists had sweet natures that I liked, but the author's love for clichés had me wincing at times. Some phrases were used so frequently that I could cite them along with the reader.

The book's promising aspects were harmed by the reader's stiff performance. The reader handled accents fairly well, but she emphasized the wrong words in sentences and often sounded as though she was 'reading' rather than performing. Overall, I found the reader distracting.

I cannot recommend this book, but neither can I warn you not to listen. It's just average.
