Mr.Silva: Although I've read all of your Gabriel Allon series, and had looked forward The Cellist, frankly it was hard for me to finish. In fact, I shut off my Nook reader well before the last page. I was disgusted by your disdain for Trump. At one point Isabelle called him a "tyrant," and you completely distorted his reaction to his "defeat," without any acknowledgement of the fraud which took place. In fact, you mocked Trump's reaction to the fraud. I stopped reading when you went into a rant about the so-called 1/6 "insurrection." Once again applying your leftist ideology to the reality of what actually happened.
So what did you get from rejoicing in his defeat? Gabriel Allon lost the best friend Israel ever had, in exchange for a weak.senile old man, who surrendered to the Taliban and would do the same to Israel. The masks you promoted have turned out to be useless, as has the vaccine, since Israel now has one of the highest number of vaccinated, along with the highest number of Covid cases.
I'm not sure I can ever purchase another Daniel Silva book, but I hope you've changed your mind given today's reality on Trump, given the disaster of the Biden presidency.
