Checkpoint Charlie

This is the second novel by Garfield that I have read (Hopscotch was the first). Although the book is a series of short stories, each one of them is filled with enough drama and intrigue to keep you glued to the end of the book. The individual characters of both the "good" and the "bad" sides (ours and theirs) are created with a good deal of realism, similar to the popular John LeCarre and Len Deighton works. I highly recommend this fast reading book to anyone who would like to experience espionage from Charlie Dark's viewpoint.
