The Secret Speech by Tom Rob Smith Book Review
The Secret Speech by Tom Rob Smith is a historical yet very intense and exciting novel. Another masterpiece Tom Rob Smith was published since Child 44. The setting of the story is on Soviet Grounds in 1956. During this war era between the government and the civilians, everyone had seen the terror of the effect of government taking over the whole society.
Police were always right; innocent will be pinpointed for a crime without further assessment and investigation. From his first novel Child 44, Leo Deminov, the protagonist in that particular story is still one of the main characters in the Secret Speech. He is now the head of the homicide Department in Moscow from just a security Officer.
Even this book is knowingly written in fictional way, It is still exciting to read, events happened in real life but characters were just made. It’s like titanic and Pearl Harbour. Tom Rob Smith created character such as Leo to serve as the story teller of what are some of the events that is likely happened on that particular time.
The Author had also written every single word in a very dramatic way. In my own opinion, I can say he is well indeed a very good writer because even time setting of his story is 1956 and the set design were in the past, I can still imagine the story and his word help me to recreate the events in my mind. For an exciting experience reading, buy The Secret Speech by Tom Rob Smith.
