Red Sparrow--#17 finished

 A kind of action spy book, that became a movie. I saw the movie first & thought was just okay but saw the book at a Goodwill or something and picked it up cheap.  Since over 500 pages, didn't get read last year because of my emphasis on quantity--getting to over 100 books read--so figured this was the time to read it.  Different in many ways from the movie and better in most ways.  It is a trilogy so I have wishlisted for the next two books.  A Russian ballet student suffers an injury and her uncle puts her into the spy business and she excels but doesn't really like the Russian government and becomes a spy for the US after meeting a few men she really likes.  This puts her into some tough situations and makes for a good read.

There are like a dozen copies in PBS so no reason to add to it, will just donate away at some point.
