Thank you for sharing your detailed review of "The Date Farm" by Jack Winnick. Your insights into the characters' reflections on their dual lives and the exploration of heroism add depth to the narrative. I appreciate your mention of the book's ability to stand alone within the series, making it accessible to new readers. The thoughtful examination of hero-villain dynamics and the absence of nationality biases make it sound intriguing. I'll definitely consider picking up this action-packed espionage thriller with its engaging settings and themes.

When people say impossible, they usually mean improbable.
-Leigh Bardugo. (Guess the book)



Jack Winnick's books are laid down on a background of political Web. It is quite difficult to portray the controversial issues without being too bias. You have written a very provocative and comprehensive review. Once again, congratulations on the BOTD.

I am satisfied with the overview of this book and it sure is good that the book doesn't advocate killing enemies and the Mossad and FBI Agents are really doing a good job. Congrats on BOTD!!The book is well-written and engaging, with realistic and likable characters, vivid descriptions, and witty dialogue. The author does a good job of portraying the different settings and cultures, from the peaceful countryside of Lara's hometown to the chaotic streets of New York. The book also touches on some relevant and timely issues, such as cyber warfare, global security, and international cooperation.This review explains the multiple concepts covered in Lara and Uris story, which has motivated me to read this book and possibly the entire series. It’s intriguing that there are concepts of war mixed with gender related issues and work-life balance questions.

I loved your statement about appreciating unsung hero’s and also the fact that book honors the bravery and heroism of those who dedicated their lives for freedom. The Aunthor did a great job with this fourth installment of this series.

Congratulations for the precise review. Despite being part of a series, it stands alone. This line makes one comfortable as he can directly go for the book. A page turner thriller, full of adventures. I love the way Jack Winnick creates a complete picture of the scene in front of your eyes and portrays the characters without bias.

The narrative weaves a compelling blend of personal and professional challenges for Lara and Uri, highlighting the stark contrast between the tranquility of family life and the high-stakes world of international espionage. The urgent call from FBI headquarters introduces a gripping twist, adding an extra layer of suspense to their mission. Nice review.

Latest Review: Sooner Secrets by Shelley L. Levisay

Post by Kibet Hillary »

This is a must-read, and I enjoy the fact that the author delves into the intrinsic motivations of the characters, which makes it easy to follow and understand their decisions. It is sad to read that a happy vacation had to come to such a sudden and unhappy ending. It will be enthralling to follow Lara and Uri in their work. Many thanks for the review.

The Date Farm
Please understand that having only read Amazon's sample for this book, and other reviews, my impression is limited, but it seems to me if, like I, you read to take a little break from this world's situation, then this is not the book for you. On the other hand, I suppose if you're seeking to gain a little insight into terrorist attacks and international agencies and intrigue, it could be exactly what you've been hoping to find.

I wonder if these terrorists rest at all. Well, thank God that there are people like Lara and Uri and I trust that they are equal to the task. I am looking forward to reading this book. Congratulations to the author on winning book of the day.

From this review, I can see the story in this book is about espionage, national security, relationship. I will consider reading "The Date Farm" by Jack Winnick because I want to know who the pepetrators are.

I downloaded the sample for The Date Farm just to get a feel for it. It's a jump from the fantasy genres I've been reading for weeks now, but this was an enjoyable and welcome change of genre. What I read was engaging, thrilling, exciting and stirring enough curiousity to make me read this book in full, as well as the other books on the series. Great book of the day!
