I'll admit it - I bought this book because I was curious about the redactions and their effects on the book as a whole. That curiosity lasted about three chapters. An interesting story, but just another memoir/auto-biography from someone who was told, "Hey you! You should write a book!" By reading between the lines (literally) you get a small idea of what the career of a CIA agent entails and what V.P.W. went through with her public "outing." Personally, I couldn't get past her writing style. But to each his own.

I recommend reading the Afterword before reading each chapter. That way you'll have an idea of what's going on and won't get (too) frustrated by trying to fill in the blanks.
