Good plot fast paste

The plot was good, and fast paste, the only negative was the quality of the sound of the recording was poor or low tone. But the narrator did a good job.

The Matarese Circle

Few books that I cannot put down but this is one of them. The scope of the book is grand and the attention to detail in surroundings and characters is nicely done.

Intelligently woven storylines

The plot is amazing, I was pulled in and could feel the tension of each plot and emotion of each individual in every plot line.
Loved the storyline as it is believable- you look back and think - wow! This could really happen!

Best book ever

This is quite possibly the best book I have ever read. Been through it 3 times now. The only downside to this presentation is that it is abridged.

Embark on This Adventure!

By the ending, it was as if I had lived through it myself. This is a Great journey to take. Enjoy.
