Humor as a major theme? Jacko as a comedian?

Theu sure did. As a reader, I liked how that part was well-executed. Funny how such small things like these humorous conversations can lighten the whole mood and make the characters likable.Radiant3 wrote: ↑01 Mar 2019, 16:11I'm sure Jacko and the guys enjoyed the conversations with the girls during the meetings.

Agreed that being funny is an innate trait. Once cannot simply be just that humorous and witty overnight. Injecting humor in a very serious theme could fall in either two ways: good or bad. Luckily, the author has the talent to make it a good one. Also, as his friend on Facebook, he often posts witty anecdotes and punchlines - which I find funny. I guess that explains the humor in this book.

I really appreciated the humour as it made the story feel more real, as people often joked to deal with the difficulties of war. Definitely the female spy characters had some of the funniest lines!
