Graham Fulbright's an experienced writer - and it shows. He has a considerable talent for the telling phrase - he placed Henry Wright perfectly with a thought-provoking point about the difference between an interpreter and a translator - and a real ability when it comes to evoking a sense of place. The pace is well-handled, particularly when you consider that the locations range from the headquarters of the Common Market to theme parks in California. The repetition of Wright's narrow escapes from death is a thread which neatly and convincingly runs through the book and pulls the story together.
I've have a couple of quibbles with the book and one's relatively minor: a more thorough final proofing would have improved the read. I was slightly more concerned about the length of the book, which did feel overwhelming on occasions, but that's perhaps me being over-picky as I'd certainly be more than happy to read Fulbright in the future.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy of the book to the Bookbag.
Recently we've enjoyed [[Blazing Obsession by Dai Henley]] - we think you might enjoy it too. We think you'll appreciate [[Driving Mad: Maniacs, Morons and the Advanced Motorist's Club by Graham Fulbright]].
