A review by lekakis
Night Soldiers by Alan Furst

3.0

I liked the book but I found the writing cheesy at times. Cheesy because the author packs it with so many details which create a nice atmosphere but at times the writing makes some huge logical jumps to further the plot. Something that left me wonder why it had to be so long and why all the story lines had to be reach to a conclusion. At the end were all the storylines necessary to reach to a conclusion?
Also, I found the representation of women shallow and one-dimensional.


This was the second attempt to finish the book and I’m glad I did. I believe that the first 3.5 parts are great

The life of the protagonist is not glamorous but harsh and I believe the author the reader a pretty good idea about the ins and outs of having a life like this.

I wish the book was shorter and more focused.
