Best of the bunch IMO

Revisado: 03-10-25

I liked this one a lot. Unique, soft reboot of the series. Hurwitz managed to keep the wildness of the story grounded. Timely and full of great moments, along with the usual mayhem.

Must-Listen for Shakespeare and Theater Lovers

Revisado: 01-15-25

I've enjoyed Mr Beale's acting for years, and was pleased to see he'd written about his life as an actor. His narration is flawless, and many of the anecdotes are delightful. The incisive and deep analysis of Shakespeare's work is invaluable, While some of the book was a bit too insider-y for me, a theater dilettante, it was still engaging and interesting. Spent many hours reading about some of the actors he learned from and performed with, as well, which was a nice side-project. in any case I wish Mr Beale continued success as an actor, and should he ever come to the American South, I'd be honored to host him for an afternoon.

A standout in an already stacked series

Revisado: 11-30-24

This is one of my favorite of the Dublin Trilogy books. A unique twist in the usual Bunny books, full of great characters and real stakes. As ever it’s very funny and full of warmth and heart. A good addition to the ever-sprawling series of books.

Harkaway nails it

Revisado: 11-18-24

Not surprised, given who his father is and the quality of his other books :) Very much enjoyed this and it has the same rhythm and depth of Le Carré’s work. A rich, dense and ultimately satisfying look into grief, spy-craft and the nature of power (personal and state).

Pleasant Surprise

Revisado: 11-09-24

Bought this purely because I thought the cover was cool (I know!). It took several chapters for me to get into the rhythm of the writing, but once I was in I really enjoyed it. I liked the globe-trotting aspect very much, and the characters all had a warmth and depth that I appreciated. The story was complex and interesting, and there are plenty of surprises. At times it is laugh out loud funny, others gross and scary, but overall it’s full of good humor, warmth and real charm. I look forward to future installments, and if that’s not on offer, future books from Mr Neff.

Totally original

Revisado: 08-12-24

Something unlike a lot of the horror novels I’ve enjoyed. Sprawling and wooly, there’s A LOT going on here and all of it is very interesting and unusual. The whole novel has a freshness to it I enjoyed a lot.

Enjoying these stories about other double-O agents. Good plotting, fun story. I’ll definitely check out more should they come. I like Sherwood’s tone.

Cracking Yarns

Revisado: 02-13-24

What an absolutely riveting and fascinating look into a group of men who caused the despicable Nazis so much pain and irritation. Many of these men helped inspire Ian Fleming’s James Bond….great book.
