2.5/5

I got caught by the intrigue the first half of it and completely lost interest at the end. All the historical/political views on Eastern Europe were interesting but in the end I felt like drowning under all the stories and anecdote. At the end, this book was quite frustrations because I never felt like reading a thrilling spy book but rather a random thriller story about an old and boring spy who after the Cold War.
