Well, I’m not really a book lover, so I don’t usually spend much time reading books. But however, recently I found a very interesting book called Hidden Crimes. It was written by the C.C.S.S.O.S.O. of Azerbaijan, and it is mainly about real crimes, security cases and different investigations. What made me interested in this book was the fact that the stories were connected to real events. And what I found most interesting was the fact that the book was based on thrill cases, rather than being completely fictional. So this book gave me an opportunity to learn about some event that I had never heard about before. I decided to read it because I’m interested in politics, international relations and security. Since I studied International Relations and University, I thought that this book could also help me understand how security services deal with different threats and criminal activities. What made the book exciting for me was the way the cases were presented. Some parts fell almost like a detective story because I wanted to know what had happened and how the investigators had Discorded the thrones and sold the crimes. It was a real life aspect that made me keep reading this book Overall, I wouldn’t say that I suddenly became a book lover, but I really enjoyed reading this book What made me happy was discovering a book that matched my interests and this book told me something useful at the same time.
