I'll admit that "The Puzzle Palace" and "Body of Secrets" can both be dry reading, at times. I think that you first have to have an interest in intel, bureaucracy, and to a degree, conspiracies. If you like conspiracies or are of the belief that the government is out to screw you, then both books should be satisfying. And as relates to bureacracy: In many instances, there is such excruciating detail as to make one want to avoid government service forever.
Neither book is "fiction" written as non-fiction. Bamford did a great job in both books, considering that he is an NSA outsider. As to the veracity of the information contained in either book, I have no knowledge.
