so-soHonestly, this is a 🌟🌟🌟 rating. It's cute. Predictable and had some pacing issues. It was slow to start...and when it found its groove...bam thr story is over. But still entertaining. #bookspin @thearomaofbooks
so-soI didn‘t like this student‘s version much because it left out the whole voodoo narrative. i am not sure if it was particularly thrilling for my students. But then the original is so full of stereotypes and degrading language at least this was not given in this version.
I am currently reading four different novels with four different classes. Of course they are the students versions which are easier and have less different narratives but I get mixed up a lot - especially when the lessons are one after another. Last time it told the students The Hound of the Baskervilles was written by Ian Fleming. 🙈
so-soThis was probably a more realistic spy novel than ‘The Spy Who Came in from the Cold‘ but I preferred the drama and romance of that novel over so much of the day to day training in this one.
pickIn 1980, a biographer named Charles Higham, wrote a biography of an actor who died 30 years earlier. A man who lived a wild and raucous life, Errol Flynn. Higham claimed in his book to have found evidence implicating the actor of having been a Nazi Spy. This book, written 10 years later, by Tony Thomas comes to Errol Flynn‘s defense and dismantles Higham‘s allegations. And does a fairly good job of it.
Jumped right in to the Christmas present from hubby, we are both Mick Herron fans. Figured it is the perfect way to spend a freezing Michigan Saturday.
