Decoded

Decoded is among the novels I have purchased with my free points. It sounded interesting (the story of a genius cryptographer in Chinese secret service) and I tend to like Chinese novelists (apart from Jin Yong whom I LOVE). However this book ended up being not for me. It is very good prose and story telling but it was so matter of fact that I tend to stay cold towards it. It isn't a bad book, it just was not for me.
