The story in itself is interesting, but I felt the book was written like a very long news report with a lot of background information around the whole story. In a sense I see that it is good, if you want knowledge of what happened and some insight on why. I feel, though, I would have enjoyed the book more, if it was more focused on the personal stories of the protagonists and less weight on politics and terrorist organisations. All of it is of course part of the story, but I was left feeling like reading a report.
