" Give it a 4.5. Very good book. has manay similar themes to other books with kidnapping etc but it flows well. A lot of middle east politics etc but is part of the appeal "

" Every Daniel Silva book is excellent, and The Secret Servant is no exception. This is the latest in the Gabriel Allon series. Fast paced, full of heavily researched Middle-East and American political history, it paints a vivid and scary picture of modern day Islam, and the global impact of fundamentalism. These books aren't for the faint of heart, but in my opinion, extremly informative and worthy reads. "

" I like books that are thought-provoking, intelligently written, intriguing and/or insightful. This book is none of the above. However, it's a page-turner that makes two hours of a plane ride go by really quickly. "

" It is an O.K. mystery book. There are a lot of names to remember, not to mention hard to pronounce. And a lot of places to remember. It involves middle eastern politics and stuff. Once I trudged through all the who is who and what is what, then it got exciting (the last 150 pages or so). "

" Each time I read one of Silva's books, I wonder if this will be the one that slows down or where the writing finally turns bad, or the characters become cliche and unbelievable. It hasn't happened yet, and by this point I should start thinking it never will.
