This book is quite different from the run of the mill action adventure. There is plenty of action and you are hooked from page one. Mossad, Israeli spies, kidnappings etc. are all there. But the writing style is different.The story is told with the style and skill of a storyteller from a century or two ago. The story develops in easy cadence with lots of descriptions so you can get a feel for the setting, the smells, how it is to breathe the fresh morning air on a brilliant day in Haifa.There is a lot of tell instead of showing. This is normally a no no, specially for action adventure.There is not a lot of white space on page after page on my kindle fire. But you get used to it. It grows on you.You could scenify many passages to get a more action oriented story with more white space. But the storytelling style is quite unique, and so is the story. Wow. Try something different. You just might like it.Highly recommended for the those who like a different action adventure.
