Query: Knowing what I know now...

If I had read this book when it was published I'm sure I would have had a much different response to it. If, for instance, I could still regard the CIA as a credible agency and not a useless, terrible joke I might have found the premise of a dynamic, competent CIA agent believable. Since the average CIA agent has been proven to be an inept bureaucrat the entire concept of the book is laughable. Add the typical liberal viewpoint of anything conservative and you just have a pale, lifeless version of LaCarre. Too bad since based on "Unlikely Spy" I thought I was going to like Silva's books.
