Mario Sosa mariososade0f4 — The British never well and truly recovered from the embarrassment that was Kim Philby it seems. It was Philby and a few others who dealt the most severe blows to British intelligence during the era of the Cold War. What makes the espionage thrillers of this era interesting is the impeding sense of danger in the horizon and the fact that there are always eyes and ears open & listening to what you do and say. I like Fredrick Forsyth's take on intelligence agencies, there isn't a lot of gung-ho material but moves as subtle as a game of amateur chess. Without giving too much details away, the plot is about the intelligence agencies of Britain and the USSR playing against each other. As cliches would have it, the stakes here are surprisingly higher. The main protagonist is more or less very much a ideal one : highly intelligent and sharp, observant and best of all creative enough to connect the dots. This makes up an ideal investigator and without much of flaws, this was the only piece of ideal character that I did not fully agree with in the tale. My personal favorite is the head of MI6 in the tale : Sir Nigel Irvine. The chic and urbane spymaster kept me interested throughout the scope of the tale and had surprises even until the last page. Overall it's a good read for even though you can anticipate the outcome, the plot line with its twists and turns will keep you interested. Give it a shot if you are into Cold War spy fiction, you will not be disappointed !

Gino Galea ginogalea — I have been avoiding this book for years, because I generally avoid historical fiction, and only read it if I'm forced to. Well, it came up on a class reading list, so I sat down to read just one chapter, and proceeded to consume the book in one gulp. This book is good, really good. It's a story about family hijinks, shenanigans (my favorite word!) and the 1963 Birmingham Church bombing. My heartstrings were yanked, I learned about history, and now, I want to read all of Christopher Paul Curtis' work.
