MARATHON MAN (William Goldman) - June 30/18

I'll admit I was pretty bored for probably the first half of this, as Goldman's overdone writing style is compounded by a narrative that switches between Babe and the mysterious spy (which I accidentally spoiled for myself by reading Wikipedia because I was so bored). But once said spy is revealed to be Doc and Babe is thrust into this scheme, the book moves like a rocket. I think I read the final third of this book in less than a day. ***1/2 out of ****
