Sleeper Spy is a winner...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
After years of reading spy novels, I had kinda given up on the genre. My wife bought _Sleeper Spy_ for me (and, honestly, I only read it because I had run out of other reading material). I was very, very pleasantly surprised. Safire spins a thoroughly engaging tale of espionage, duplicity, violence and deception - and that's only the part dealing with the media! The spying game gets even more intense. One gets the sense that Safire is relating many instances of his real experiences reporting on the inner workings of the beltway. The genre rarely gets more realistic - or more satisfying. Well done, Bill!
This book was OK

I just finish this book and it was pretty entertaining. But I think that in some areas that were to confusing, it seemed like the whole objective of Mr. Safire is to misdirect the reader and not sticking with the plot. I think the main problem that this book has is too many character. If the book just concentrated on a couple of characters it would be a lot better.
John LeCarre & Robert Ludlum - STEP ASIDE!

The BEST spy story I have read in 5 years. Safire does it all - intricate plotting, sparkling dialogue (no padding to just fill up pages) - characters that are interesting and that you care for (the good guys) and characters that you can hate with a passion (the bad guys). I started ( but never finished) FREEDOM in 1987 - now I am going to back to it and complete it. If you like TERRIFIC prose, you will LOVE this book. Safire has a way with words that is incomparable
Excellent Spy novel with a satisfying ending
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
One of the few spy novels which moves along at an even pace, includes the usual surprises but none of the fake romances, chases, and other usually contrived events designed to get the best movie deal. At last, a satisfying ending-one that seems to evolve from the story line and not just to end a book at 500 or 600 or whatever pages. The main character, however, is not a likeable person
