Slow to get going and jumps back and forth in time, but picks up steam eventually. Carl is a not someone it's fun to spend 400 pages with, though. He is what used to be called a Male Chauvinist Pig, although he does treat his Syrian assistant decently. I thought it was too long and there were some plot holes along the way, and a few too many non-essential characters. Even though Denmark isn't that vast a country, it would have been helpful if the publishers had included a map to help follow the action. Not a failed book, but could have been tighter and better.
