For me, it wasn't. I don't normally venture into these kinds of books so it fell flat for me. That was the point on why I read it (expand those horizons, ya know?), but it did exactly as expected.
I found this book too slow. The content is really cool, especially how it follows the FBI through all of this. It was really intriguing and I can see why so many people would enjoy a book like this. For me, it's just too slow and didn't have enough of the other side of the story. It felt way too slow and factoid than actual story.
One out of five stars.… (altro)
