A Tangle Web is a thriller, so you can find all the elements that this kind of plot has in it. Spies, murders, corrupted politicians who accept bribeSries, managers of the intelligence agencies involved in drug matters, and of course baddies trying to kill the main character all the time.However, there is a secondary story which shows us that our protagonist is not only a hard spy, but he’s a lovely father as well.
Eventually...well, I’m not going to spoil the story… I recommend to read it and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.

One of the scenes that I liked most was to compare the character of Simon with the character of his horse Timber.
The similarity of the two characters and their evolution in the explanation DEVELOPMENT of the story IS FASCINATING, As if the two were the same person. Like the twin brother he didn’t have because he killed him when he was a kid and Simon sees him on his horse. I liked to imagine this.

Of course!/CERTAINLY! I think that this story breakS with the society stereotype. The book, shows who can HOW a man changes his things with/FOR his son, and he is proud in OF his son and allowS his HIM to do dance.
Also, the story shows how the son riskS and decideS to dance and doesn’t work in the mine (THE place where his father and brother work and his father would want BILLY TO WORK that will work Billy). And the end of the story, they lost their JOB work and/BUT  Billy is dancing/CAN DANCE in London.

"Journey Around myself"

I likeDthe description of the garden of ryoanji in kyoto. This is much smaller than one  would EXPECT spect, some twenty-three hundred square feet, rectangular in form, closed in by buildings on two sides and by walls on the other two. This Zen garden, constructed nearly five hundred years ago, epitomizes all the exquisite simplicity and elegance of the art of Japanese gardening.
I would RELLY like to go there.
