" Daniel Silva has a background which makes his books both believable and realistic. he was a middleast correspondant for CNN. His protagonist, Gabriel Allon, is unique. An art restorer and an Isreali assassin. He is ruthless and fantastic. This book, the Kill Artist is especially vivid and the plot is great. This is a good read. "

" I think this was the first in the Gabriel Allon series, and it is an okay book. The author hadn't quite "hit his stride," but I think this was only his second book, so it's to be expected. This one did fill in a few "holes" in the characters' life, which was good. "

" The Kill Artist is definitely a good read, if a bit long. The plot also gets a little convoluted in the middle, though everything makes sense in the end. "

" I am hooked on this series of espionage, terrorist thrillers by Daniel Silva. I love the hero, Gabriel Allon and of course the plot theme centering around the Isreali terrorist-hunting-down corp known as "the office". The plots like to take strange turns and sometimes the bad guys aren't who you think they are, likewise for the good. The reader uses thick Isreali and Palestinian accents that only make the plot more enjoyable to the ear. If you like a good page-turning read, or listen, I recommend you get started with this one, the first in the series. "

" Found it typical, bland and boring. Couldn't connect or believe the characters. Did appreciate that he tried to show both sides but nothing new. Typical, I kill and you avenge and then I kill and you avenge. Neverending throughout history, unfortunately. "

" I'm sorry to say that since I've been reading this book and trying to like it for a couple days, I'm afraid it is not my kind of book. Therefore, I'll not be finishing it. It's ashame since it's a well liked series it seems, but not my kind of story at all. "

" This was a great spy-thriller. I was prepared for another page-turner with the usual stuff, but it was better than that by far. Perhaps it was just the thrill of reading something by an author who I met once, but I really enjoyed this book. I'll be reading more of this author for certain. "

" A tightly plotted spy thriller with characters who are sketched with a delicate hand. Don't like the politics of the book, but I am willing to continue, in the hopes that each of the characters grows to become more sympathetic towards his "enemies" "

" The beginning of the Gabriel Allon novels, explaining why the former Israeli secret service agent left the service to become an art restorer in Europe and how he got talked into returning to the service for "one last job." Allon is a sympathetic, intelligent character. "

" Fun, quick read. Genre where all the women are knockouts, the men are always twelve steps ahead, and everything unfolds to make sure the good guy always has the upper hand. I like spy books but they are seemingly more and more alike. "
