Jonathan K (Max Outlier)’s Reviews > The English Girl > Status Update

Brief 3. 5 star review tomorrow. Of all books in the series this is the weakest in my humble opinion. But I remain a fan of the author regardless

Of the many installments of the series I've read this is my least favorite. But it changes nothing about the skill and talent of Daniel Silva

Good story though somewhat predictable which is unusual for an Allon installment. I expect a curve ball will cross the plate close to the conclusion

A bit disappointed in the second half which is far slower and less engaging. Hopefully things will pick up again

Interesting how Silva moves the plot from rescuing the English girl to removing the criminals that kidnapped her which is an area Allon excels at.

Very interesting turn of events. The kidnapper is extremely smart but likely not smart enough since he's dealing with Allon and Keller

Taught, well paced and filled with mystery. This is what great writing is about and Silva is one of the best

Very snappy dialog between the two assassins, the sort that is rare with Silva. And for that I am truly grateful. This installment is not only unique but fun to read as well!

Always a pleasure to see Allon and Keller working together only here they're like a dangerous comedy team. It's this sort of thing that makes the story fun yet mysterious.

One of the few times I've seen Silva add sarcastic humor between two assassins which in this case are Allon and Keller. It's fun nonetheless
