Excellent read on espionage and surveillance, but no chemistry between the characters. The middle is so dull I nearly stopped reading but am glad I persisted.
The tradecraft details are fun. The main characters are ridiculous, the misogyny is out of control, and the superfluous recipes aren't even usable. I haven't seen the movie but I can't imagine it's worse than the book.
An exceptional spy novel. I could have done without the romance, but other than that, the book was riveting.
