The Unlikely Spy Audiobook

" Daniel Silva is one of my favorite authors. I have read all of the books in his Gabriel Allon spy series. (Disclaimer: I love a good spy story.) His books just keep getting better and better! A great read! "

" Love Allon character.Can't wait to read earlier books! "

" I was hopeful since it is a spy / mystery novel. But there were so many characters and the narrative seemed too descriptive and so wordy as to be boring. "

" Silva write his books like he is painstakingly painting an oil masterpiece. Each stroke is exquisite. He is an excellent thriller writer within the bounds of current world history and issues. "

" Compulsively readable book by Daniel Silva. Another chapter in the amazing exploits of Gabriel Allon. Picking up these books is like reconnecting with an old friend. The good guys win, and the bad guys lose, but they always can fight another day. Like the old movie serials, you can hardly wait for the next feature. "

" Another solid entry in Silva's Gabriel Allon series. It's always entertaining to see behind the curtains of the spy world - especially the Israeli spy network. However nothing new is revealed in this tale; Silva trots out the same plot lines and characters. Fans of the series will enjoy it. "

" Have to admit, this book wasn't as good as the previous Allon novels. I'm starting to think the Gabriel Allon series has just about run its course. How many times can the 'retired' Gabriel come back for the agency? While I love Silva's books, I'd love to see a new series. "

" Too wordy. Too many unnecessary details. "

" As always Daniel Silva provides intriguing espionage. Gabriel Allon masterminds the plot to try and defeat terriorism. His plots always take a piece of his soul. "

" Very intriguing. Great characters and plot "

" Fun spy romp. I didn't find the treatment of the main character too obviously indulgent in the way I find is often the case with this genre. Given to me when I was on hospital bedrest, I finished the last two chapters just now when I found the book among the things I brought home. "

" Another great Gabriel Allon adventure! I did think that the dialogue dragged in a few parts. Also, Silva did nothing to conceal his outright, blatant criticism of President Obama by introducing President Hope as a character. "

" Listened to the audio book. Good book. "

" Latest Gabriel Allon book. He is working with the daughter of a terrorist that he killed in a previous book. They are trying to head of the latest surge of suicide bombers. "

" I enjoy this series about Gabriel Allon, an art restorer/spy for Israel. "

" Good book! If you like espionage books, I recommend this guy. Took up where Ludlum left off, only better. "

" My opinion.....Silva and Baldacci are the best in this genre! "

" I think this is the first spy novel I've read, it's the first book I've read of this series, and this one just makes me want to read the others too...Lately I'm more interested in international politics and economy so this book had some really interesting topics for me. "

" Gabriel Allon in an Israeli spy and killer, and also a restorer of old master paintings, here called upon to take someone out as he is doing one of his restorations. "

" I like every contribution to the Gabriel Allon series. Some of it is getting a little formulaic, but the formula works so Silva's Gabriel Allon books remain a consistently great read. "

" Love this series. one of the stronger stories in it "

" I found another great author and character in Gregory Allon "

" The first silva book Ive read, Gabriel Allon is such a cool spy, this book has an amazing story, now i must go back to the beginning and read them all. "

" I like the Gabriel Allon character. I have nothing much more to add....I think I would like to see it as a movie.. "

" I'm giving it 5 stars only because I can't give it 6. An amazingly written historical fiction tale about World War II espionage. Pulse pounding from start to finish with plenty of twists and turns but never over-the-top. Maybe the best thing I've read all year so far. "

" As always Silva can write a spy story like no other writer. "

" Fun to read. This was written in 2003 and was about WWI and the counterintelligence to hide the location of the Allied invasion from the Germans. Well-written in that the author constantly kept you shifting your view: a weaving of information. Fun to read! "

" A good spy book filled with all the makings of a successful movie! The action and suspense keeps the reader turning the pages. "

" I have a truly guilty pleasure in reading all of the Daniel Silva books, and will continue to do so. I love the art history thrown in there. "

" Entertaining WWII spy novel, revolving around the allied deceptions just prior to the Normandy landing. <br/> <br/>Similar story line for interested readers: Operation Mincemeat, by Ben MacIntyre. "

" I really enjoyed this book. It was just really well thought out and very detailed. A great spy book. "

" Well done, but just very, very long and detailed. A bit tedious at times for me and did not hold my interest as well as some of his others have. "

" WOW. I've read some of his later works but this was his first. Very, very good reading. I couldn't figure out what was nagging me about the plot until it was finally explained. Very subtle. Long as it was, I sort of wish it was even longer. Love his style. "

" Fun, well-crafted WWII spy story about deeply embedded German spies in England and the MI5 spycatcher set to root them out. But what else is happening behind the scenes....???? "

" I found this book fascinating albeit somewhat long. The workings of the British MI-5 is shown as the noose tightens in the search for German spies. A must read for lovers of WW11 espionage novels. The ending has a twist which is unexpected. <br/> "

" This was a great suspenseful page turner. Fascinating fictional account of the spy game during late WWII. Couldn't put it down. I highly recommend it but make sure you don't have to get up early the next morning. It will keep you up lye reading. "
