The Statement by Brian Moore

4.0

This is perhaps best described as a meditative thriller. It's written for grownups, in the sense that pretty much all the characters and sides are given depth, even if they only appear for a short bit; both the good and the bad guys have reasons for what they do, and they're good, interesting reasons on both sides. There are no cartoon characters here.

I liked it a lot, and I find myself thinking about it often since I read it. I also kept thinking, "this would make a great movie," and sure enough, someone took a shot at it (but apparently didn't do a great job, which is a pity.) I might have to see it, just out of curiosity.
