Quick read. Not worth it.

Imagine that you are eat dinner one day at your favorite pizza place a just a normal citizen. The next day you are A Mossad spy under the Alias Muhammad Raja. Being a spy is extremely hard and dangerous work. Many spies have died, but many have accomplished their objectives. One amazing spy program is the Israeli Mossad. In the book Mossad it tells you the story of many Mossad spies as well as missions they have helped complete. The book has information about a certain mossad agent or mission and then they have small pictures with facts that were quite interesting. On the top of the page it has a heading that titles the reading. In the front page of the book it has all of the chapter titles and where to find them. It also had an index which is really helpful if you have a report on this book. I thoroughly enjoyed the layout of the book, I thought that it was easy to read. This was a quick read and and a fun one too. I enjoyed the topic, but they way he wrote this book I felt it made the book easy, exciting and really fun. The author seems like he knows very much about this subject and has done years of research. This author knew a lot about this subject and did not favor any one side. There is not a really a side he could favor, but he saw was the Mossad did and showed the ups and downs of the Mossad. I would have liked this book to be longer because this topic intrigued me and I wanted to learn more about the Mossad. I think someone who wants a quick read that is also interested in war, spies, and the israeli army intelligence. In this book you will learn what it takes to be a spy, famous attacks that the mossad helped achieve. You will even learn about some Mossad spies and how they fulfilled their missions. I would read this book over and over again because I loved this book. If I had to rate it out of ten I would give it a twenty, it is just that good. It has inspired me to read more books about the Mossad.

I thought this was a good introduction to the Mossad and Israeli secret agencies, but I automatically have to deduct one star for something rather crucial relating to the cover. Only one of the two large photographs on the cover is identified, captioned, and expounded upon within the book. I went through it several times to make sure I had not missed something. How can a nonfiction book for ANY audience feature images on the cover which are never included in the text in any way? I am disappointed, but hopeful that the other volumes in this series will not suffer from the same problem.

I didn't realize when I ordered it that this is categorized as a children's book--interesting topic for kids??? Anyway it provides some interesting basic information and is an easy (very) read.
