Unabridged Audiobook
Great story
This is my second time through Silva’s books. I am listening to them all in order while working on art projects and social distancing due to COVID-19. The second time through I have been checking out some of the historical facts in the books, learning more about the Palestinian and Israeli struggles for the land. Daniel Silva does an amazing job of writing the complicated history and emotions from multiple sides of the conflict And weaving real history into a fictional story. His writing style is amazing. I love spy novels but Daniel is to me, the best descriptive writer. His words are as beautiful as the paintings Gabriel restores!
This is the second book by Daniel Silva that I've listened to. I really enjoyed this book. The pace was good and the continued character development is interesting as you learn a little more each time about the main character.
I really enjoyed it. Though it had a rough beginning - it sounded like it was written in bullet point format, which made think think I wouldn't get through it. However, that passes and the story unfolds. It's a story of war and sadly it parallels history very closely and is about headlines seen even in todays newspaper. It is sad when humanity doesn't learn from its mistakes. All things considered though I found the characters relateable even though I can't fathome living under that kind of diress.
Can't wait for the next Allon novel from Mr. Silva! Gabriel Allon is as human as Forsythe's Cal Dexter, yet as nimble and inventive as Ludlum's jason Bourne and Flynn's Mitch Rapp. A very entertaining read!
It was a good book but not as good as some of Daniel's others. It took took long to get started then it seemed to end quickly. It was interesting though and I did enjoy it.
