I Am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes

4.0

Edit: I feel asleep writing the review (shocking, I know), and Im quite embarrassed about that gibberish. I’m sober three years now, and had flashbacks when I saw the likes and comment I had received, when I woke up. Happy to say, it is not the case this time.

using the audiobook (at 1.3x speed). I was able to rad along with the actual book. I thought it wouldnt work, but it did and I retained everything I was reading the Audilove espionage novels, but I enjoyed this one than most if them I have read outside of LleCareé but the “Pilgrim” ior “Rider of The Blue” s now one of my favorites. If there’s one thing to be learned from the novel is be careful who you .
