I actually read this book by accident, as I was intending to read Glen Duncan's book by the same name, on a friend's recommendation. Turns out it was not entirely a bad thing. This was by no means the type of story I was expecting. It turned out to be sort of James-Bond-Lite. But... All in all, an almost generic-feeling spy novel, but the characters were well-rounded and interesting. I found it interesting that once upon a time this Modesty Blaise series was wildly popular, spawning both a TV series and apparently a movie. Hmmm, intriguing! :)
