Tanya Harrison I'm reading Jason Matthews spy novel Red Sparrow. It is such a great book. Very detailed...I can't help but wonder how his profession helped him write such a great spy novel. Wanted to see what other readers thought of the book.

Mary Loved the book after hearing Matthews interviewed about his experiences. His references to Putin's obsession with exercise dovetails with recent news about Putin, an added bit of realism to this "fiction" read.

Trina Forced myself to skim to the end. A disappointment, given the lavish praise for this Le Carre wannabe:(
