Anna Pitoniak

Anna Pitoniak writes a spy thriller about a female spy. The book has gotten lots of attention because of it but as one commenter says about the review in the Washington Post, Why isn't there any discussion of the writing? Well maybe it's because the writing isn't great. (The Washington Post review wasn't very great either, getting as it does one of the most important facts wrong) Amanda isn't well written - the bit about her past dependence on alcohol is really weak. Katherine, an older fellow spy, is much more interesting. And Charlie, Amanda's dad, about whom the story revolves, is a shadow. All in all it's an ok book but not one that will push and of the old boys off their perches, much as we might like it to.

I received a review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley.com.… (más)
