Made it to page 97. Not my cup of tea. Spy/assassin story in economic chaos of Venezuela. Now I will never go to Venezuela. Prose is wooden and heavily padded with irrelevant scene setting details. Get on with it! Apparently others are more gripped by the tale.

I like reading his books because there is always humor in them. I felt the book was a bit too long.

A great and funny story from Nelson DeMille. I hope this is the beginning of a new series.

More like a 2.5. I finished The Cuban Affair in a few days. This took me two weeks, and at points it felt like pulling teeth. Brodie’s regular internal monologue about wanting to sleep with Taylor got old fast. It never got exciting and the ending didn’t exactly leave me feeling like it was worth the 530 pages.
