Another miserable contemporary novel. I had the idea to read a book with my girlfriend. Sadly, she chose this one. I stopped reading it at about page 200 to let her catch up. However, after a month she said I had to carry on and return the book to the library. In the end, I've had to suffer through this book alone.
As for the book itself, I have little to say. Adventure stories often lack direction. As a result, they don't always work for every reader. In this book, I dismissed the story as ridiculous when the suitcase contents are revealed (page 20?). The adventure became progressively more unbelievable after that. The writing style appropriately complemented the events, but did not appeal to me much either.
Cannot imagine the movie being much better...NOT RECOMMENDED!
