Argo

I finished Argo this week. Excellent story. Very good and quick read. I got distracted some by all the back stories. Most did seem integral to the story but certainly not all (and there were soooo many). I learned some things about embassies, the CIA, the United States and Canada that I didn’t know before.

I’ve got the movie on my to-watch list now. Anxious to see how they compare/contrast.

Argo

I started reading Argo today. So far, it’s been very engaging. Perhaps part of its fascination is because I vaguely remember the incident. I remember my mother talking about the Shah like he was some kind of rock star. I was a teenager and for sure didn’t care about all the political (or other) implications. I don’t think this book will be sitting around long waiting for me to finish it.
