  2. 5/5 Kurt H

    Toppklass journalism. Verkligheten mer spännande än fiktionen! Visar på ett chockerande sätt det nesliga kommunistiska systemets förtryckande av individen och basala mänskliga behov av ett anständigt liv.

  3. 5/5 Halvardn

    Boken visar hur en spion måste tänka, analysera, agera och handla för att lyckas utan att avslöjas. Att vara dubbelagent ställer extra krav. Han/hon måste också ha ett tydligt mål utan att vara glupsk. Boken visar allt detta. Som spion måste man också vara beredd att offra ett normalt liv. Särskilt intressant var att författaren var med hos Skavlan den 9 oktober. Till skillnad från amerikanska böcker är språket lättförståeligt.
