I recommend this book to any reader who have the patience for lengthy political and economic-related conversations, and someone who prefers the action/adventure genre with a hint of suspense.

I liked the characters. The antagonist and protagonist are both well presented and their skills are portrayed without the cockiness of overly-expressive words but by their actions.

I can say that the only parts I didn't like were the long conversations about the economy. I didn't understand some of it, and it bored me a little bit.

I couldn't stop wondering about what would happen next when I was still reading this book, and when I finished it I wanted to tell everyone about it.

This book inspired me with my writing. I originally write novels with the same genre as this book. It made me want to begin writing.

The author of this book is brilliant, and certainly does his research.

It's really good, with a great story plot. The movie based on this book is quite far from it's original story, and as far as I'm concerned, the book is better.

I wouldn't recommend this book for those who doesn't like reading long novels with long conversations. If you're that kind of person, this book will just bore you.

For those whose interested in reading about an assassin with a memory loss, I suggest you get your hands on this book immediately.
