Finished this book today. It was a nice read that took me a long time to finish (used it as a bedtime book).
I liked the story, I liked the whole atmosphere. It was a Ludlum like I expected. Many storylines, lots of characters. A plausible plot, for the most part.
A few action scenes (chapters) were less to my liking because they were too much, too good to be true or whatever term you want to use for it.

But the story isn't finished yet, even though I've read the last page. So hopefully I can get the rest in another book, although I don't count on it. This book is not part of a series. ( )

I finally finished. Started it when I was 17 years old and finished it at 43. Always liked it but always got sidetracked and started over. A good one but not his best. Glad to move on. ( )
