review 1: "L'esule" 2 anni fa mi aveva molto intrigato e adesso che ho appena finito di leggere quest'altro libro di Folsom, confermo la mia simpatia verso questo scrittore, l'apprezzamento per la sua abilità a tessere trame complicate ma convincenti, a creare personaggi credibili, scenari pieni di suspance. Tutto nelle sue pagine fila alla perfezione, senza cadute di tono e di tensione fino all'apprezzabile finale.
review 2: Without a doubt my least favourite Folsom novel this far. Folsoms books have always been very fast paced, action packed and with an intriguing story which usually contains some historical clandestine groups who are trying to obtain even more power. There have been plotholes some times(especially in the Machivielli covenant) the size of an oilplatfo... morerm but the books have always been very entertaining. And Folsom usually have a great plot twist to stir things up a bit(see the day after tomorrow. But as you probably have guessed, The Hadrian Memorandum doesnt have much of any of this. It is slow paced and very "talky", for a Folsom thriller anyway. The passages with Whites inner monolouges just got on my nerves and didnt add much to the story. But the biggest issue I have with the book is that the story isnt good enough. The Oil company/CIA does evil things in the name of profit and power has been done much better before. And the characters, villains and heroes felt tired and uninspiring. Read Folsoms first three books instead and decide for yourselves if you want to continue reading him after that. less
