Confusing at times In order to somewhat understand what is happening you have to read all of the short stories in order The underlying plot line is too vague though Characterizations are somewhat sketchy By the time I finished the last of the stories I still did not care anything about the lead character Who are these people? Why should you care about them? How do they get away with what they get away with? What is their purpose? What is the organizational goal? It is a style of writing that doesn't appeal to me all that much I don't think I'd ever read it again
I received Condor The Short Takes for free from the LibraryThing Early Reviewers program Before diving into this collection of short stories and novellas I read Six Days of the Condor Mr Grady's debut novel and the basis for the classic film Three Days of the Condor starring Robert Redford and Faye Dunaway For a long time I only knew Condor from the film but Condor from the books is less assured and ruthless It's easy to see the cinematic appeal of the original tale The stories in this collection are different intimate and less straightforward Condornet is a reimagining of the original with the next generation of CIA spies and 21st century threats I found it less interesting than the other tales in the collection which feature an older Condor let out of the Company psychiatric asylum taking on threats in the V virtual world and closer to home Old man Condor lives life on the edge But is he wrong about where this world is headed? I'm not sure
Loved the movie based on the book but this set of short stories was so bad that I could only rread about half The story lines were so confusing and non sensible I was unable to understand were they were going Avoid this book
30 stars Several short stories that really tie together and form a novella The writing style was slightly bizzare but maybe to parallel the crazy mental state of protagonist Condor who spent some time in an black site insane clinic The Russian Roulette story the best
A collection of stories spy guy Condor from the excellent book Six Days of the CondorSome are good some only okay
Felt like I was reading a John Wick movie Loved all the action
There are six novellasshort stories in the collection Like most collections I really enjoyed some of the stories and others not so much The best part of the book was reading about an old spy someone not in their prime
