Review of The Date Farm
Posted: 21 Feb 2023, 20:10
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Date Farm" by Jack Winnick.]
In The Date Farm, newlywed agents Lara and Uri once again battle nefarious terrorist forces. In an endeavor to stop terrorist threats against the United States, the married couple who work for both the FBI and the Israeli Mossad are central to the story. The couple travels undercover in Iran in order to find stolen products and recover the prized resource. There is a ton of action and a quick-moving plot, and these two make use of cutting-edge covert weaponry and reconnaissance capabilities. Even individuals who build and use these tools may be surprised by the level of information in the descriptions. Through this book, Jack Winnick also shows how Islamists disregard human life in their efforts to achieve their objectives of destroying the Jewish people and the United States.
Now for the positives of the book: By providing the necessary background knowledge, the author does a superb job of immersing the reader in the action. The fact that the fiction is flowing so quickly and incorporates all the real-life events is also wonderful. The article made me reevaluate our security and be in awe of the military troops that work to keep the nation safe. It's fascinating that Jack Winnick pays attention to every character and considers how they affect the plot as a whole. On the editing part, I would say the book was exceptionally well-edited.
In a few places in the story, the author repeats himself and provides information that has already been shared. This repetition makes the reading process slower. Because some situations were so violent, like the illustration of dead bodies spread out as far as the eye can see following the terrorist assault, I wanted to stop reading at times. I also didn't like the couple's search for the guilty parties because it involves mischief in the Persian Gulf, where they run into bribery and deceit.
I would give the book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars. The key factor influencing my rating is the fact that multiple events are taking place simultaneously in various parts of the world, and I value how carefully the intricate plot was planned. The book has a lot of action, and although there is some violence, the author doesn't go overboard with the gore. As a result, I was unable to give it a lower rating.
I wholeheartedly suggest this book to anyone who likes a good action story with a dash of romance because it follows partner federal agents Uri and Lara on a perilous mission. Everyone who appreciates a fictional but realistic story of intrigue should definitely read this book because it is also an interesting political thriller.
