The Reasonably Goood Wall

I actually put this on with the wife to watch as i thought it would be a film i could snooze through, but it actually hooked me,
The fighting scenes were clever and interesting,
The ideas behind the wall the reasons why an american would be in china i could live with,
It was predictable for alot of it but with this kind of action film it a comfortable watch

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2340 KP) rated Mrs. Pollifax on the China Station (Mrs. Pollifax, #6) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

Mrs. Pollifax heads to China to find out the location of a forced labor camp so the CIA can free a political prisoner. As much as I love the series, this is a disappointment. It reads more like a travelogue for too much of the book, which doesn't give the plot enough time when it is finally tries to go somewhere.
