Three down, three to go (there are two more after that too I think). They are enjoyable, but while the writing is good in a narrative sense, it doesn't feel particularly good in the literature sense. I'm going to have to reread some Graeme Green because I definitely remember that as truly wonderful writing.
Done! That one is a wild ride, definitely the best since book 1. 2 and 3 felt like a bit of a cookie cutter redo. 4 is full on non-stop action
Onwards to book 5, London Rules
@tmcfarlane yeah, I had debated reading all the books before I watched the series, which is what I would normally do. I don't remember being super thrilled with Book 2 so I decided might as well give the TV series a shot. Season 1 was so phenomenally done I went through and watched all of them 😬
Come to think of it, I don't really remember much of book 2 to the point of if I ever even finished it. Based on what you said, sounds like I would be better of going and starting at book 3 regardless. Is that right?
