Eugene Bull, The Persian Gambit

“A slow read”

Written on: 02/03/2012 by Acc0untCl0sed (4 reviews written)

I was hoping for a James Bond type of story. I shouldn’t have had a preconceived idea because I was disappointed. It was an OK read but nothing that I couldn’t put down.

So much of today’s news is about the wars in Iraq and Iran. This story just continued that theme. It started out slow and got slower. The more I read, the less I seemed to understand who was doing what with whom. I usually love spy stories or ones that are written about our “alphabet soup” organizations but not this one.

Maybe a more military/espionage mind would enjoy this but for me, I quickly lost interest and it became a chore to finish. I am going to give this to my hubby and I’m sure he will enjoy it.
