The beginning to the middle of this book was excellent. The 1st part of this book is about the author's life in the FBI, but the remainder of the book was about her life after the FBI as a defense contractor. The author has a rather negative view of the FBI. The orgainization it's self is described as sexist and rife w/ sexual harrassment. While the author employs specific examples in the beginning/middle of the book, her views get kind of old towards the end of the book. We get it, really we do. The end of the book reads more like memos and is less specific than the beginning of the book. It's almost as if the writer had to finish up the book in a big hurry or wrote the beginning of the book at one point in time, took a significant break from writing, then went back to it. It doesn't exactly flow and the reader gets lost. I would suggest that if you read this book, stop after the 1st part of the book. The 2nd half, isn't worth it.
