Loose Lips

I ws completely absorbed by this novel which is a lightly disguised account of what it is like to join the CIA and go through their rigourous training system. As a non US citizen I read some of the views (not, I feel sure, those of the author's) about the success of their covert operations like many in the UK with an up-raised eyebrow and an amount of sceptiscim. When I was a child in central Africa, everyone knew who the local CIA agent was, even though he (accompanied by his wife) he was posing as an architect. They stood out like a sore thumb! And the wife gave my mum a brilliant recipe for Curried Chicken and Apple Soup which I often serve !
Actually this book made me really think about the morality of espionage, what it does it do show more to the spy?, do you get the information you REALLY need, what IS truth?
Pease will Claire Berlinski write a sequel soon! show less

Summary on the back reads like this will be a juicy, entertaining novel, but the book fails to deilver anything, no conclusion to the questions & situations that occur!
