I’m not sure what went wrong with the audio script for this but it started getting impossible to follow along in my physical book because the audio book had a whole bunch of extra paragraphs. nothing wrong with the book itself. but the audio doesn’t follow physical book. not a fan of wasting my money

Highly recommended for people interested in the Middle East History!! Brand new insites into a complicated area of history!!!

A compelling story well told and well narrated, with details that humanise Bob Ames and the people / network around him. It comes across as balanced as possible (with, for example, transparency about aliases) and clear about the complexity of the situation.

Sometimes I enjoy listening to a book about running while I run. This book fit the bill. I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed the author occasionally telling about his own running experiences as well as the elite coaching and running that was the main topic.

Read any of the really GOOD books out there about heuristics. This one is liberal slanted junk!

Everything about this book felt uncomfortable. From the abuse of power to the age difference, I’m unsure how this is quantified as a romance.

Narrator’s voice was moderately monotone. It was fine throughout 95% of the book, but some artistically written repeat phrases had me wondering if my app was glitching and going back a few seconds repeatedly. That is how consistent/monotone his voice is. Regardless, outstanding job overall, and these messages will stick with me throughout my journey..

I found interesting that Robert Ames, a CIA officer fluent in Arabic, was deeply empathetic to the Palestinians. The peace plan Bob Ames suggested to President Reagan shared details with the Oslo accord of a decade later.

While a story about a spy and his life and career, it also expresses the rare attitude of treating people as people and friends. Being kind when it is only your job to communicate. Excellent read.

This story was unrealistic. A coach falling for his athlete and having a happy ending? I finished it but not her best work in my opinion.
