GOOD BUT A LITTLE TRASHY

I'd seen Wimbldeon for years on the shelf at various used book stores and finally read it, and it's good and fast-paced, and well written, very exciting. But there's a lot of predictable sex to guarantee, I think, that this became a bestseller. I think it would've been better as a straight thriller. But it's good and keeps you reading, so I would recommend it, whether you're a fan of tennis or not. Also liked the exotic locations.

GOOD READ

Good read. Reminds me of Ken Follet. Kind of thriller they don't write any more, particularly with the end of the cold war.

GOOD BOOK, THRILLING

Has a lot of action and good characters. Author clearly knows the tennis and spy worlds. You won't be disappointed since this is really exciting.

An electrifying thriller that keeps you hooked throughout.

Just a great thriller of the kind Ken Follett used to write in his early days, or Clive Cussler (actually better than Cussler). I like international tales of intrigue, but only if they are well-paced like this one, with strong interesting characters and equal parts gunplay and foreplay. This guy can write!
