Helpful Score: 1
This was a very good book. The twists and turns and the element of a treasure hunt was well done. That being said, this book took..me...forever!...to read. I don't know why. The story was compelling, and while it was extremely detailed, you could tell the amount of research that went into this book was huge.
There were a few too many historical figures thrown in, and at one point I actually laughed out loud when one recent historical figure barges into a room and makes a scene. It wasn't necessary but it was humorous.
The characters were well developed, and well liked, and even though there were quite a few players in the Game, it wasn't that hard to keep them straight. I did like the historical half of the book a bit better than the more modern, but it was also nice to remember what 1973 was like, with no cell phones, computers were just coming into play and the Cold War was ramping up.
Definitely worth a read.
