Tom Hanks recommended Spies of the Balkans in Books (curated)
The premise of this book was completely interesting, industrial espionage. That portion of the book was written well, and moved at a good pace. Oftentimes, people aren't really exposed to the industrial espionage, which is vastly more interesting that the commonly known espionage. Stealing corn seed is probably not the first thing you think of when you think of espionage.
The absolute worst part of this book was the random entries about what the journalist was doing at the time. Sorry, it was no interesting, and the book suffered for it. Journalists do to this a lot, but it's usually minimal, ( @Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup ), or it's actually extremely important to the story, ( @Catch and Kill: Lies, Spies, and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators ). Her life was definitely not interesting enough for me to read about (sorry, not sorry).

A very good Drama
It's a very good and well acted political drama. Mainly about opposing sides lobbying for greater gun control. It has a sharp script and almost an espionage feel to it. Overall though not the most thrilling type of film and probably one you'd only watch the once.
