First Outside Reading Book

My topic for the inquiry project is spies and espionage. The first book that I chose to read was The Spy Who Came in From the Cold and I thought that it was okay. I expected there to be a lot of secret missions and projects but it was a lot different than I expected. There was a lot of secret agencies that were hard to keep separate from each other. The story took place in the 1950's and 1960's and often felt very outdated. I expected it to have some technology incorporated into the spying but there was almost none at all. I hope that the next two books that I read will be more modern and updated. It was interesting to read about the espionage in a different time period because I have previously only been exposed to modern espionage. I also thought that it was interesting to learn about the espionage after the Cold War because that was when it was at its peak. I also think that it was cool that it took place in a country other than the United States. It was difficult at times to understand the word choice and names but I thought that it was interesting because of that.
