“I’m not sure if he just couldn’t reveal much of the work he did as a spy, but the actual details about his life as a spy are rather scant. The beginning is interesting as you learn about his life in Germany and Moscow, but less interesting towards the end. And, TBH, I found Jack to be a rather self-serving and self-absorbed narrator. Why’d he become a spy? To travel. Why’d he leave one woman? She cramped his lifestyle. Etc. Etc. I’m not convinced much of what he did was for love of country or love for another person but for love of self. And I think he might even agree so perhaps he’s self aware at least. But I struggle to listen to hours of someone who is so hyper focused on self.”
