but the same reader/reviewer would tar The Maltese Falcon with the same brush, so I'd be cautious about awarding demerit points to Hold Tight because Bram used the same "device" of the '40s "voice" that worked for Hammet. There was nothing daring or adventurous about Surprising; it was beautifully handled, but covered largely the same ground that's been covered a hundred times before.

While I do hope the events of this book aren't happening (or haven't happened) anywhere in the world, it isn't hard to imagine them happening because of the realism in all other elements of the book. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. I suppose that's okay, but for me, without a more attractive premise, you'd better bring something besides twenty pages of explanation at the end of the journey to make up for the desert that was the first 9/10 of the novel. The story takes an unexpectedly dark and serious turn in the second act, one that I felt unprepared for, and the shift to self-serious is where the story remains. Susan and Dante Loriman meet with their son's (Lucas) doctor (Mike Baye) only to be told Lucas urgently needs a kidney transplant.She thinks the reason some people need daily meds "is because they understand the reality, how thin the line is. But their sixteen-year-old son Adam has been unusually distant lately, and after the suicide of his best friend Spencer Hill, they can’t help but worry. Discuss: Tia thinks that if humans recognized how quickly the life they take for granted could be obliterated they'd go crazy.

There are so many spies in this story that I had a very rough time deciding which were the good ones on our side and which ones were the bad guy.I couldn't suspend disbelief that Naval Intelligence was running a male brothel to catch spies, so it just didn't work for me. quite like, say, “City of Thieves,” if only because there’s no way Hollywood would ever make a movie out of this novel.
