Alas, not even worth it for free

The 39 Steps (Buchan's first book) was not brilliantly written, but was interesting and reasonably compelling. This book is not I think as good, but, with apologies if the narrator is still alive, the combination of the text and the narrator are such that time is spent better on other books, or endeavors. I think it would be rude to be more specific. Just, not this book.

what a disappointment. bland reading.

the character voices were okay but the intermediate story reading was so drab, dull. I'm sorry I love Buchan's books. I have read them heard them in audio a radio plays. this was dissatisfying I couldn't get through it. I usually stick with it, even when reading I have only not finished one book even if I didn't like them out of respect.
