This book wasn't too bad, but it could have been a lot better.

There were little things such as the main characters surname 'Samuel Spendlove' which I found corny. Perhaps it's a more common name in Britain or Europe however this reader, an Australian, has never heard of such a surname and it became rather annoying to read again and again.

Then there were larger things like the extremely unlikely conspiracy.

Overall it's not the sort of book that will keep you up all night because you have to finish it yet there is enough there for it to be entertaining. ( )
