The English Assassin (Gabriel Allon, Bk 2)
reviewed on + 2 more book reviews


Sucked in from the first page. Silva is a master storyteller, with a sophisticated air, telling a story about people who, through circumstance, know more about good and evil than most people would even want to know. I read it in two hours long sessions. Couldn't put it down except for falling asleep. Like watching an edge of the seat movie. In books, this is like drinking a couple glasses of excellent Cabernet- not only do you get the flavor, but there's a high feeling too. Then it's over. I can't wait to read the next in the series.
