    About this audiobook

    In 2008, almost two decades after the Cold War was officially consigned to the history books, an average American guy helped to bring down a top Russian spy based at the United Nations. He had no formal espionage training. Everything he knew about spying he'd learned from books, films, video games and TV. And yet, he ended up at the centre of a highly successful counterintelligence operation that targeted Russian espionage in America.

      I'm finding this book to be tedious and annoying. There's a great deal of "me!me!me!" throughout the text and not in an entertaining way. The author spends his early adulthood drifting through cars, friends and life in general. At some point he decides he wants to be a Naval Intelligence Officer but can't be bothered to join the Navy to achieve his objective. He wants to join the Naval Reserve since he then won't have to disrupt his life too much. Due to the happenstance of his parents having contact with Soviet/Russian (alleged) Intelligence agents and the FBI through their business, he embarks on an effort to entrap a Russian Intellignence agent and prove himself to himself, the FBI and the Navy. The author spends a good bit of time talking about what a "cool" guy he is. He often reels off the names of movies and actors that he perceives his actions as being similar to. In general, he comes off as a dilettante counter espionage agent. I'm surprised the FBI agreed to work with this guy or that the Russians fell for his gambit. I'm about 3/4s through and I'm not sure I'll finish it.

      great story but it should have been written by someone who is not the author, who could have made him come off as less of a raving egomaniac. jamali's self-love kind of ruins it; it's a fascinating story about an average guy playing double agent, but jamali lacks both context and self-awareness and we get very little idea of what he actually accomplished or why what he did was important. instead we get his love letter to the greatest guy ever, himself.
