Reviews

[Ann Andrews · Rating 3 out of 5]

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Deciding to undertake the process of writing an espionage thriller is no small matter. There are so many additional details and plot lines to follow, even plot lines that you don't specifically lay out within the pages.

Moonzajer's The Journalist had all the great plot points that you would expect from this type of thriller. However, I did find myself getting confused on a couple of occasions. There were several chapters I had to reread to try to find my bearings once again so that I could continue on with the plot.

But the writing is very well done and it's an overall very exciting story.

This book struggles with the idea of how Goodreads lists works, assume the prose doesn't set the bar much higher.

This narrative is not for the faint heart. The storyline keeps you on the edge of your seat while you are trying to anticipate the next moves and attempting to connect the dots!

The Journalist: Attack on the Central Intelligence Agency is a fascinating insight in the experience of an Afghan journalist written by M.F. Moonzajer. I won't give away any spoilers but it really gives an interesting perspective on the CIA that you might not hear from the mainstream. The book is a suspenseful thriller and I enjoyed every page of it. I look forward to the next instalment (if there is one!)

My mind lives in Sci-fiction, thriller, and action movies. I don't remember a moment in life when I don't have STUPID ideas running in mind. But, I must say this book took my imagination beyond a level I never imagine to exist.
