So definitely better than just okay, but not so riveting that it was exceptional. The storyline was really rather engaging and prescient. But at times the plotting just involved two characters talking about unveiling the mystery of the storyline and was therefore kind of stale on the action end of things. Overall a solid read and I'd recommend it.

I read The Boys from Brazil in high school after spotting it on my mom's bookshelf in the basement. At the time it was right up my alley--- Nazis, intrigue, and suspense.

Genial, este libro es uno de los que te atrapan desde el inicio hasta el final, el retrato de los personajes es impecable, las situaciones de suspenso son por momentos muy sobrecogedoras, en resumen vale la pena leerlo

Wicked fun sci-fi/crack history romp. Required reading if you want to understand a single obscure joke from the TV show Archer.

Super, well-crafted, suspenseful. Got me thru a day of driving and the time totally flew.

Would give it 5 stars but I can't with books that toss off female characters with no depth, no interest, no life.
