Great first half, but the second half devolves into this guy's desire to not work, moping all over Japan and his lame attempts to outwit Citibank. Very disappointing.

I have yet to come across a bad book by Joe Haldeman and this was no exception. Terrific novel of espionage with a slight SF bent to it, set during the Cold War.

This was a surprisingly deep mystery novel from Ed McBain. It's the first non-87th Precinct book I've read by McBain. There is an interesting murder-mystery and on top of that some very insightful thoughts on divorce and adultery. Recommended.

Surprisingly good. I admit I didn't have high expectations, this is the first book I've read by her and I only did so because of a favorite booktuber seems to like it. It's certainly not fine literature but it kept me entertained and turning pages. The subject matter is pretty disturbing, covering teacher-student “romance” (ew), so be warned.

Well written, good book but the subject matter is pretty disturbing.
