Twice a Spy: A Novel Audiobook

" Really, really good. The only problem is that it just ends: the last few pages are not nearly as satisfying as those before them and, clearly, there are more ends to be tied up. Fast moving and fairly unpredictable. A bit implausible but not ridiculous. "

" Having presented the novel concept of a spy with Alzheimers in "Once A Spy", Mr. Thomson successfully follows up with an equally entertaining second novel. Non-stop action and ridiculous but hilarious situations of danger - Charlie Clark can almost always count on his addled father, Drummond, to come through with his spy training when needed. But it's a different story when Charlie is in a tough spot on his own for the first time. Can he handle it? And his girlfriend - whose side is she REALLY on? Some nice seesaw plot twists. This is a fun read. "

" This sequel is not as good as the first book, Once a Spy. This one is more about Charlie, the son, rather than Drummond, the CIA spook father with Alzheimer's. In this book, Charlie's love interest, Alice, is kidnapped, while the antagonist, Bream, tries to secure a nuclear equipped washing machine from the Clarks. There are many other players along the way, none of which are very interesting or humorous, unlike in the first book. There was some promise with a spy couple, Stanley and Hadley, but without a sensible explanation, Stanley turns rogue, and the interesting character, Hadley, is shot and out of commission. "

" Once again we are with the Clark family. Father has alzheimer's and is a former spy. Somehow the son needs to keep his dad safe, as everyone is trying to kill him to avoid the telling of secrets. This is a high action thriller with lots of laughs. Really makes you wonder what would happen to a former spy who developed Alzheimer's. "

" action action action. for those who loved the Bourne Trilogy this will sound familiar. a great page turner. "

" A bit silly but a fun, fast read just the same.. "

" It's a non-stop thriller just rocketing on toward being made into a movie ... and the writing shows it. "

" I enjoyed this book -- not as much as Once a Spy, which was superb -- but it was definitely well done. I have high hopes for Thrice a Spy! I feel if Keith Thompson can take this father and son duo out for one more spin, he'll hit his stride and totally captivate us again! "

" Better than the first but left too much uncovered. "

" OK, not as good as his first. Enjoyable and I will buy/read #3 if and when it comes out "

" It was a good story, but it lacked oomph and any real sort of tension. "

" IMHO, not as good as the first one. The basic premise was flogged to death. "

" This was a nice follow-up to Once a Spy, tying up a lot of loose ends. I thought overall it wasn't as smooth of a ride as the first book, but the end made up for it. "

" So far, I like it but I'm not terribly involved. I'm reading it more for the tradecraft than the story. This is the kind of thing I'll buy on ebook in future... "

" This was a great follow-up to the first book (Once a Spy). I loved the idea of a guy who never had any training to be a spy outwitting the actual spies. Recommended. "

" Good. Interesting book, Charlie ill prepared reluctant resourceful spy. "

" The Clarks are trying to stop the bad guys from getting a bomb hidden in a washing machine. "

" Fast read, kept my interest, a little different take on a spy novel... "

" Last quarter of this story was great, the rest of the story had it's moments, I guess my only problem with the first part was the use of Alzheimer's for the former spy. I don't know that much about Alzheimer's, but it seemed a little unrealistic or forced to me sometimes. "

" I didn't like it as much as the first - but still fun. Language was much better in this one... someone must have clued in the author that there are more creative words than the F-word... "

" Really, really good. The only problem is that it just ends: the last few pages are not nearly as satisfying as those before them and, clearly, there are more ends to be tied up. Fast moving and fairly unpredictable. A bit implausible but not ridiculous. "

" So far, I like it but I'm not terribly involved. I'm reading it more for the tradecraft than the story. This is the kind of thing I'll buy on ebook in future... "
