Guest Review: Moscow Rules by Daniel Silva

Guest Review of Moscow Rules (2008) by Daniel Silva [Review by Shirley Ayres]

       In this next continuing saga of Gabriel Allon, art restorer and spy, he goes to Russia to try to stop arms dealer, Ivan Kharkov, from selling deadly missiles to al-Queda agents.
      As usual, this book is crammed full of action as our hero travels from London to Tel Aviv and every city and country in between.  And, as usual, this book kept me reading late into the night until I either finished it or fell asleep, which ever came first.
 

Thank You, Gentlemen!

If you're reading this blog, it's safe to assume you "get it" in regard to libraries. Recently two of our most popular writers spoke eloquently about what libraries meant to them:

DAVID BALDACCI IN THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

"Libraries are the mainstays of democracy. The first thing dictators do when they take over a country is close all the libraries, because libraries are full of ideas and differences of opinion, all the things we want in a free and open society. So keep 'em, fund 'em, embrace and cherish 'em." 

NEIL GAIMAN AT THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY

"I was terrified of librarians -- at first -- because these were people who wanted their books back. But I learned that they answered questions and hey would find books for me. The librarian went off and investigated and I realized 1. these people are as mad about books as I am and 2. books in libraries have to be ordered by someone."
