I usually don't finish a book or a movie that carries this much hate, but I wanted to read till the end. The way the author describes Islam, Muslim men and women, illitracy and stupidity of a civilisation that was one of the first civilisations that contributed to modern science is unbearable. What I hated most is that as a work of fiction, the author's plot was during real world events that would only add to more people thinking this was closer to a non-fiction work rather than fiction.Things I hated most:The usual commentary by the author from one chapter to another: "Thank you Saudi Arabia" for giving us terrorists, "we, like the Jews, believed in the goodness of mankind" implying that Americans and Jews believe the good in people unlike Muslims, "over 45% of Muslim women cannot read or write" ~ where the hell did he get these statistics from, and the overuse of the superior tone and implying Ara bs and Muslims in general are stupid and inferior, how Arabs are garbage... Pure hate and an overdose of Islamophobia.I gave it two stars because it was a good thriller that I didn't want to stop reading. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An extraordinary accomplishment *by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2016* I do not touch the thriller genre. The craziness wrought by Dan Brown really destroyed it for me. I do not know how I came to be reading I Am Pilgrim; probably it was one of the Kindle Daily Deals. From the outset the writing captivated me. I once read that we are not captivated by a book's subject matter; we are captivated by the way it is written. Terry Hayes is a masterful writer. Every word, every sentence, every paragraph exquisitely crafted. He could have been writing about ANYTHING and I would have been captivated. The story is complex and nuanced, shifting from first person to third, present to flashback; the plot is dangerously complex, but Hayes manages to pull all of the threads together into a beautifully woven, textured fabric (when was the last time you heard anyone describe a thriller like THAT). Some have criticized Hayes for this, no doubt longing for the point A-to-B plot, annoying sentence structure and over-the-top special effects that populate Dan Brown's novels and made reading them so tedious. Hayes's characters are well-defined and dimensional; even the antagonist, the Saracen, was so finely crafted that I found myself sympathizing, empathizing and hoping that he would realize his revenge. In other words, Hayes creates characters the reader can care about even if they are doing evil, hateful things. Far from being distracting (some readers and reviewers here clearly have short attention spans and a limited capacity for abstract thinking) the flashbacks and digressions greatly enriched the journey -- some of them would provide ample material for novels of their own!! I am looking forward to Hayes's next novel (do I really have to wait until 2018???) and, in the meantime, I heartily recommend this read. Even if you do not like the subject matter, even if you do not like the genre, you will be captivated by craftsmanship of a master wordsmith. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant! *by T***F on Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2017* A flavor of noir-detective (but not too "hard boiled") at the beginning of novel, combined with secret agent thriller as main ingredient. Far better than many of the novels in these genres--more depth in character development and plot, greater accuracy and detail in depictions of geography, culture, government and covert operations, etc. The two adversaries ("Saracen" and "Pilgrim") are equally brilliant and dangerous; even the secondary characters are well developed, i.e., "Ben" of the NYPD. "I am Pilgrim" by Terry Hayes involves an intelligent, complex plot that transports the reader from various locations, including the U.S., Middle East, Europe and Russia. Most spy thrillers skate you through action and more action (like the "Jason Bourne" series), often using a worn-out template for plot and character development. If you want to take a deep dive into a unique and brilliant spy thriller, I highly recommend that you read this novel. Also, check out the author's bio--it made me realize why he is a such a fine writer.[Feb. 2018--P.S.: Author James Patterson's book, "Instinct" (formerly "Murder Games"), will be the basis for a new TV series, "Instinct", on CBS this March. Patterson's book was originally published in 2017, Hayes' in 2013. The premise is virtually identical: An author and university professor comes out of retirement as a CIA operative when a NYPD detective asks for his help--the serial killer is using the professor's book as a tutorial. This makes me wonder about the originality of Patterson's novel, since it was published 4 years past Hayes' novel. In any case, Hayes is a MUCH better writer, engaging one in a complex globe-trekking thriller. If you want to choose between the two books, pick "I am Pilgrim".
