Yes, I stayed there because hanging suspense. But this is not what makes a good book! The style is rather poor, sometimes vulgar limit. The plot is tangled at will, as if it was the pledge of a good thriller. The end is sloppy as if after mixing all ingredients, the author could no longer get by as a parody of spy novel. One positive: the characters are quite well caricatured and some are very endearing, so that you do not loose this novel. But in the end the disappointment is such that when one is left went to watch a TV movie and in the end means we say we lost our time. I hope at least that this novel is not harmful to the point that some readers think that our political and industrial life is governed by characters as menacing !!!
