review 1: I think this was a pretty good read, but there seemed to be a lot of the same stuff going on throughout the book. Carrie is developed nicely in this, and seems fairly true to her character on the show, so Homeland fans will find it quite entertaining. I am a fan, so I thought it was pretty good and would give it 3.5 stars. It isn't 4 stars because it lacked the surprise and intrigue of the show, though the ending was really quite good and brought a smile to my face. There wasn't as much action as I typically like in the books I read, and the plot didn't feel totally developed enough for my taste. With that said, it was well worth the purchase and I did enjoy the way the author built Carrie a little bit more. I would definitely purchase another book in a series like t... morehis by the same author.
review 2: An adrenaline pumping whopper of a thriller. If you love the TV series, this one is for you. It has all the action and drama of the TV series and more. The characterisation of Carrie, the CIA agent, is excellent. You get to know the heroine with bipolar disorder and her tormented family background more deeply and empathise with her even more deeply. The novel brings alive the setting of jihadi-infested Middle East vividly. There is a scene where Carrie and her colleagues are getting from point A to point B with the imminent threat of sniper attack pulsating all along and you can actually visualize it like a movie playing in your head, nail biting, raw, visceral. Read this if you love Homeland, the TV series or even if you haven't had a chance to watch it yet! less
