I really don't think it was completely the books fault. I spent a whole lot of time reading this book and most of that time was spent confused. I'll post the two more reviews in the next couple of months and let you guys know how it goes as it happens. Now the fact that I wasn't crazy about this book was completely not the fault of the book club. They include a little note from the "judge" that picked this particular book for the month to the readers. (Really fast service) and I have to say.that the packaging used was some of the best book packaging that I have ever received. Now I received the book just a couple of days later. I thought I would go out on a limb and pick something that I normally wouldn't read and give it a shot. Once Upon a Time in Russia: The Rise of the Oligarchs-A True Story of Ambition, Wealth, Betrayal, and Murder by Ben Mezrich- The Marriage of Opposites by Alice Hoffman- We Never Asked for Wings by Vanessa Diffenbaugh and Saint Mazie by Jami Attenberg
What happened was at the first of the month I received an email that told me to go pick out the book I wanted for the month. I had never heard of this club but obviously it's been around a long time. I was sucker curious so I signed up for the three month trial. I'm going to do a spoiler tag for info on the Book of the month club stuff, which is where I got this book.Ī few weeks ago several of us on Goodreads got an PM offering us a trial run on.
Just as fast-paced, heart-pounding, and action-packed as Red Sparrow, Jason Matthews’s second novel confirms he is “an insider’s insider…and a masterful storyteller” (Vince Flynn, #1 New York Times bestselling author). And when a mole in the SVR finds Dominika’s name on a restricted list of sources, it is a virtual death sentence… Complicating these risks is the fact that Dominika is in love with her CIA handler, Nate Nash, and their lust is as dangerous as committing espionage in Moscow. What no one knows is that Dominika is working for the CIA as Washington’s most sensitive penetration of SVR and the Kremlin.Īs she expertly dodges exposure, Dominika deals with a murderously psychotic boss survives an Iranian assassination attempt escapes a counterintelligence ambush rescues an arrested agent and exfiltrates him out of Russia and has a chilling midnight conversation in her nightgown with President Putin. She despises the men she serves, the oligarchs, and crooks, and thugs of Putin’s Russia. From the bestselling, Edgar Award–winning author of the “terrifically good” (The New York Times) Red Sparrow, a compulsively readable new novel about star-crossed Russian agent Dominika Egorova and CIA's Nate Nash in a desperate race to the finish.Captain Dominika Egorova of the Russian Intelligence Service (SVR) has returned from the West to Moscow.
