Quite entertaining, despite the lengths and improbabilities ...

A big overall entertaining spy thriller. However, it does not escape several lengths often inevitable with this kind of large cobblestones - it would undoubtedly have earned a good degreasing - or a few twists and resolutions puzzle sometimes bordering on grotesque.
Pretty annoying, as is this reductive vision - and false - the US as "saviors of the world" and is accompanied by a barely veiled contempt for just about every other country. Those are the defects.

Although, after the last page is turned, it is nevertheless relieved to have finished.
