review 1: This book did what I hoped it would. Moved fast and kept me guessing. Unfortunately what I was often guessing about is who the characters were. By the end they piled up, and having been only briefly introduced it was hard to remember their significance. Probably just my deficiency as a reader. I liked the irony of the African Harvard student being used for US ends while the US spy learned the truth and left the service. Good enough book. Stylish, good observations. Why am I writing when I need to get ready for work? The end.
review 2: The New York Times had a favorable review and it held up to its promises. Very strong novel that alternates between war-ravaged Somalia and Harvard College. He delivers a thriller that avoids over-the-top characters and situatio... morens, which serves to increase the impact of the events that unfold. Perhaps it helped that I lived near Harvard for a summer and frequented its streets and cafes on the weekend. Recognizing his descriptions, it increased my trust of his tale. It wouldn't surprise me a bit that the CIA recruits agents from Harvard clubs. less
