Style Characterisics: Pacing, clarity, structure, narrative devices, etc.
Very lengthy with lots going on and loads of details about military and security procedures. It took a while to get going but once the kidnapping happened the suspense started to really flow. There are some improbabilities, but not enough to mar this as an entertaining and suspenseful read. The behind the scenes looks at the military gadgets that Israel has and the explanation of how they would be willing to use their nuclear weapons was very illuminating.






How Good is it?
The Best part is the "Insider" details about how things work in the military, security, and political realms. ( )
