Official Review: Traitors by Jean-Pierre Le Pan

[revna01]

Unless it's something along the lines of Cloud Atlas, I really don't like having to take a ton of notes while reading. The material sounds intriguing, to say the least. I may consider this one. Thank you for a great review.

Thank you for your comment! I understand what you mean. The last time I took heavy notes when reading was with Umberto Eco's "The Name of the Rose" and that didn't have to do with his writing style, but merely the huge list of very similar-sounding names and places. That was definitely worth it, as I love that book. If you do read "Traitors," I hope you enjoy it!

Thank you for the response. The Name of the Rose? Hmmm, I may need to look into that one as well. I haven't heard of it, nor the author.

Oh, you must! It's one of my all-time favorites. Eco was a very accomplished Italian author. The story takes place in a Medieval monastery (it deals with a lot of real, historical figures) so there is a bit of confusing Latin, which you can skip over as it's more for authenticity's sake than for the story. It's a mystery (a monk must figure out why there are murders taking place at an abbey) that incorporates the religious debates of the time. Plus, there is a mysterious library off-limits to the monks and tons of philosophical questions to muse on. I love it!

Woo... a South African scandal as I enjoyed reading your book review with minor spoiler alerts.

Yes, a great scandal! The sleeper cell and characters' involvement, you learn from the very beginning of the book. It's the actual plan/goal that is the big mystery! I hope you like it if you choose to read it. Thanks for commenting!

Absolutely! Yes, I'm interested, based upon your amazing description and I have added it to my bookshelf. Thank you for replying. keep up the good work!

Great! Thank you so very much and enjoy the book!

I've always enjoyed reading historical fiction and this sounds like a good one to add to my list. The comparisons the author does between current and past events sounds intriguing.

Historical fiction is such a great way to learn about different events/eras. I hope you enjoy it if you read it! Thanks for commenting.

A story on political corruption, intrigue and a high-stakes game played on the international stage can be a fan and all the same serious issues. A good review. Thanks.
