The Fallen Angel by Daniel Silva

I recently finished The Fallen Angel by Daniel Silva. It was about an art director who fell to her death but the case is believed to be a homicide. The Vatican, this happened at one of their museums, calls up on an art restorer who is also an assassin for the Israeli government to lead the investigation. He finds out that she was murdered by someone who finances Hezbollah. They then find out about a terror plot on a prominent Jewish synagogue in a country that didn't do anything to provoke this attack. The art restorer eventually stops the terror plot and saves well over a hundred peoples lives.This is a very good book for people who enjoy suspenseful stories that will keep you reading.

Moscow Rules by Daniel Silva

I recently finished Moscow Rules by Daniel Silva it is about an art restorer who works for Israel ms dealer and she contacts the CIA which leads tho the CIA talking to this art restorer who takes on the role of getting the wife away from the husband. He succeeds in doing this and also saves a journalist and a general who wants to leave Russia. This is a very interesting book and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys action books.

The Rembrandt Affair by Daniel Silva

I recently finished The Rembrandt Affair by Daniel Silva it is about an art restorer who is also an assassin who woks for the Israeli government. He finds out that a painting that was stolen during the holocaust that has a list of names of Jewish people who's belongings were taken hidden inside of it and is trying to find it. he ends up making a mission to strip the wealth of one of Europe's wealthiest men and successes. the reason he was successful is because the wealthy man's fortune was based off of stolen property during the holocaust which they took back and the wealthy man was now poor. 

The Defector by Daniel Silva


I just finished The Defector by Daniel Silva  and I really enjoyed reading it. The Defector is about a art restorer and assassin who has just saved a Russian illegal gun merchant's wife from the Russian illegal gun merchant. He is now back to finish the job and kill the illegal gun merchant. This plan backfires when the assassin, his wife and 2 of his friends are captured and held captive by the illegal gun merchant. They are almost killed but are saved at the last second by the Russian government. They then extract revenge on the illegal gun merchant and his men. They end up killing them all and making their country a safer place. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys action and mystery as it is full of both. This is one of my most favorite books.

Multicultural Memior

I read I Am Malala. It is about a girl named Malala who went to school and was shot. In the memoir Malala talks about her background and how she became the person she is today. She also talks about how education was such a big part of her life and how the Taliban completely altered her way of  life. I found an artical about women's education in Pakistan. This shows how the Taliban is keeping women in Pakistan from getting a decent education. This connects to the book because the book is about women not being allowed to get an education.
