I remember that scene, too. They have sacrificed a lot, but then it seems that they are letting the criminals to escape. Im thankful, they did it with a purpose. See, how observant Jacko might be. He did it because the advantage of the absence of water miles away.

I haven't read it all the way through yet, but so far I've seen a few twists coming. I do agree it may have been intended for a younger audience.
It may be predictable but the journey throughout the book is what matters. And I can say that this book is enjoyable from cover to cover. :)

I still remember this. This is a time when you are almost asking yourself what is wrong with these guys, but they knew what tey were doing. It was worth some laughter.

timd wrote: 04 Feb 2019, 06:49 I was tense right from the beginning of the book where Jamie was trapped by fire from an Italian machine gunner. The appearance of Jacko on the scene, despite the hostile fire, was relieving but also slightly comical because he was almost jovial and also called Jammie "Cap," short for Captain, although Jamie was a Lieutenant at the time. The settings for romance were tense but the ladies were often supposed to be hardened "ladies of the night," in the underground of Cairo, and belly dancers. Most of the scenes involving Jamie, in particular, were almost sweet because of his innate shyness with women. I think most of the scenes regarding romance were a bit timid. In reality, ladies working from the conditions that they were working from would probably be more sexually open and would probably tease him more than they did in the novel. Although I enjoyed the book, I got the impression that it was written for a younger audience because both the violence and the romance was remarkably timid or mild compared to a lot of books set in similar circumstances.
I felt the same tension too from the first page. The sound of the bullets ripping into the knapsacks was quite climatic.

briellejee wrote: 03 Feb 2019, 23:27 For me, I think I remember getting tensed and all worked-up whenever the spies were in motion. I held my breath whenever they spy because you'll never know what will happen to them on the other side and if they will make it back on their side. Such heart-pounding moments for me. The romantic twist did not impress me though since I am not keen on romance.
I also normally prefer the action scenes to the romance ones! Thanks for sharing the review, I think I'll give this one a read :)

Me, too. After a long distance of travel with all your efforts, suddenly letting the criminals escape was the best choice for an interrogation. Ohhhh my.... but it's worth it, they were right in their observation and speculation.

Me, too. I've even thought that Jacko was an enemy behind to capture Jamie. The first part was so intriguing that won't make you read it later.

As I am Reading the few pages, I already can't forget the war where planes were striking a friendly fire... So sad.

Burdens
Discouragement
Fears
Hopelessness
Loneliness
Sadness

My favourite scene was the cultural show of the aboriginal traditions. They have a nice culture and are proud of it.

What scene did Greg made an amazing thrills?

Some scenes even makes your heart pounding so fast.
Secondly, will make you smile by the romantic twist.
Lastly, will make you tense.
I think Greg made amazing thrills in the criminal chase. I got somewhat tensed when the spies are in action as I began to imagine what could happen if their cover got blown. The humour was a good feel to ease the rising tension.

I thought the scene with Sarah rescuing the two aborigine girls was unexpected and great humor. Sarah wanted to be undetected as she moved around, so she took off her dress and was naked. All you could see , if she smiled, was her shining white teeth. Three of them, after the rescue, so three marmalade cat smiles. Genius

Safiya's case frightened me. And this brought to my attention that as a woman, as much as i want to help strangers who need help, I shouldn't do it myself, rather, I should call the authorities or a group of people to accompany me and provide the needed help to the ailing stranger.

Every scene with the spies was thrilling and kept me on suspense, since anything can happen in the next moment, good or bad
