A run of the mill espionage thriller, comedy? I was hoping for a bit more. Good cast but I just didn't find the story that interesting.
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).
