Why read it?
1 author picked Taken for Granite as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I personally love this book for several reasons; first, I love reading about strong women. Second, the experiences are real-life situations that draw you into Rocky’s life as if it is your own. Her solutions are at times quirky but make you realize that her solution is perfect for her and the search for her perfect solution allowed me to see what I would have done instead. Third, it is at times funny and at times tense. This balance of emotions and actions keeps you on the edge of your seat.
From Cathy's list on the Cold War, Nazi hunting, and growing up with spies.
