Well the lesson? That is easy! Don't judge people after what they are wearing but after who their character is!
Not like Paulo Coelho's usual work - still good, but dissappointing
The Capablanca Variation: The End Game, by Douglas Quinn, is fast paced and varied. Jennifer Ellis has a twin brother, Theo, who seems to always be in trouble. When Theo gets into a bind with the FBI, Jennifer is strong armed into working with the CIA and FBI to capture a known terrorist in order to secure her brother's freedom. The hunt leads us through several venues of Morocco with a big showdown fit for a Western. Extremes between Morocco's Muslim culture and Western tourism are intertwined with the intrigue. Throw in a few bumbling operatives and you have yourself a good tale! This book continues on themes from Douglas Quinn's book The Spanish Game, but is a good stand alone read. The storyline is well paced, the characters are interesting, and the flow is good. There were a few minor mechanical errors, but they did not impact the enjoyability of the story. The only thing I feel was missing was resolution regarding Theo. I was left wondering what happened to him and the situation he had gotten himself into, with only my assumptions to close the matter for me. A page or two extra would have been sufficient enough to address this area. Other than that, an overall good read. On a scale of 1-4, I give this book a 3.5. Good pace and great characters, but in need of a tied loose end. This book was published by iUniverse.
