Less Speech More Secret

Tom Rob Smith is a very excellent writer.  He writes in a very fluid, detailed style that makes his books impossible to put down.

I absolutely loved "Child 44" and read it in 3 days.  His sequel on the other hand, "The Secret Speech" was a bit harder to get into.

It had much of the same elements and I definitely recommend it to people.  It was more out of personal taste that I just didn't like it as much.  I guess I was missing the gore and suspense the other one had.  And I suppose the personal character battle just wasn't the same.
