This is not typically the genre I read. It is somewhat heavy and intense reading. However, I felt what I read was well written.

This definitely sounds like an action-packed and exciting book. I definitely agree that some readers might find it hard to read with the political tones and religion. But it sounds like a realistic and exciting book. Great and thorough review!

I was surprised when I came across the name of Uri since I am reading one of Jack Winnick's. I agree with you that the characters are described well and that there is politics involved in Jack's novels.

The religion based terrorism might be very real in this current dispensation, however, we still need to know that not all folks that comes from one group of religion or one area of minority are into such. Thanks for this review. And good work to the author for capturing a much near real story.

Count me in to all fiction books that have strong ties with the historical events. This is the book for that.

The strong ties of non-fiction historical events in the story sounds appealing and educational to the readers. I hope to enjoy reading the book.

I am really not sure if this book could appeal to readers like me. I really don't think I have the stomach right now to digest reading about religiously motivated international terrorism at this point in book form, since I am already reading about it in the news almost everyday.

Any novel that has a geopolitical outlook is always fascinating. I loved the way you presented your view on the plot and characters. I think the author did a great job there. Nice review.

Your review is very succinct and now I want to add this to my bookshelf. You review each of the three elements (as pictured on the illustration) of the novel. This sounds great because not only is their international intrigue, suspense and murder, but there is also a touch of romance.

Devil in False Colors seems like a real up-to-date book, since we quite often hear on the news about shooting in schools and terrorist attacks. When I get the chance, I will definitely read this book. Congratulations on a very informative review!

I live in a country where acts of terrorism have been committed thrice. The latest been January this year where 148 people died. The fact that the perpetrators in the book are finally caught, gives me hope that the real life ones will too.
But the path I’ve chosen has always been the right one, and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. :)

I've read about 1/4th of the book so far, and find I agree with most of your review, which was great, by the way. I'm finding it extremely interesting to see the issue from both sides of the aisle: the western world side and the eastern world. I feel it is important to see both sides so that I can form my own opinions. I think the thoroughly evil plans of the one side are clearly explained, as well as the reasons for those plans. Thanks for the excellent review. Can't wait to finish the book.
