I Am Pilgrim, Hayes - B -

                                               This novel is a thriller that received very, very complimentary reviews. The author is a well-known screenwriter and this is his first book.  'Pilgrim' is the code name of a US agent of extraordinary skill who apprehends a committed Saudi terrorist. Although it qualifies as a fun read, I'm not sure it is a must read. My disappointment stems from the length (613 pps.) and the fact that the author's diversions are frequent, lengthy and in my opinion, unnecessary.
