Honestly I had no idea what to expect from this book. I read The Power and the Glory a while back which was stunning, and serious, and atmospheric. Greene shows his versatility in this book with a good entertaining, comedy caper. I laughed out loud a few times because of the great word play in the dialogue, and then was reflective and quiet at some of the more serious, and tense moments. I haven't read a lot of thriller/crime/espionage novels, but this was a good step into that world. Mostly plot and characters, I wanted a little more atmosphere and feeling, but all in all a quick, fun read.
