| Although some of the sections Lee adds to set up the political climate of the book's fictional Middle Eastern country bored me, It was still a fascinating read given today's (2005) world news. I especially enjoyed the wise-cracking main character Kay Bee who muses toward the end of the book, "I entered Khuruchabja as a woman disguised as a man. I left it as a woman disguised as a man disguised as a woman." What fun! For a science fiction/spy thriller this one, did something unusual - it tugged at the heartstrings. Along with Kay Bee, I found myself caring emotionally for the fabricant, and then drawing myself back and saying - that's unnatural, he's not real! This book would be a great book pick for a male/female book club. It's got a little bit of everything - adventure, romance, humor, intrigue, world history, and futuristic speculation. |
