Okay I give it a solid 4/5.
I find the historical aspects of the book very intriguing, and the author did a great job at captivating the time period and atmosphere.
I also like that although not factual, it gave an insight into the inner working of politics, and what goes on behind the scenes.
Ive dropped a point, because as much as I enjoyed following the 2 protagonists. I felt that at points it was difficult shifting back and from different scenes. I also felt the climax to their story was rushed and not much presented. Although im unsure if this was intentionally done by the author.
