" Overall, I got a kick out of reading _Liberation Movements_. The setting of events behind the Iron Curtain don't really appeal to me. I guess living during those latter days doesn't particularly excite me. But this story had enough intrigue, pace, and organization to make me take note. "

" Not bad at all - had never heard of this writer and bought the book because it was about Istanbul and I was about to go there. I enjoyed the twists and turns but mostly I enjoyed knowing it was about places I was visiting at the time. A main character that was gay was a refreshing twist too. "

" So far, am enjoying this as much as other Steinhauer books in this group. What is so interesting is the "behind the Iron Curtain" perspective of protagonists who are committed communists. "

" The literary device of scattering chapters around in a non-chronological manner is not something I am very fond of, but it is not too hard to follow in this tale. "

" This penultimate book in the series is the best yet. The well developed characters, the tight prose, the quick pacing and suspense all combine with a philosophical depth to create a near perfect reading experience. "

" A little disjointed although the thread are all pulled together at the end. The characters are probably quite sinister but somehow this does not come across... Not quite as malevolent as Le Carre's Karla... A good read. "

" Murder mystery set in Eastern Europe. Interesting premise, but it didn't work for me. Lots of jumping between different times made it difficult to get the general flow. Stupid twist at the end sort of ruined any hope it had for me. "
