Highly entertaining. Presumably well researched. Decent writing.
But I'll be perfectly honest, I didn't like this one as much as I liked Child 44. In Child 44, the main character is pursuing a worthy goal (save his wife who may or may not love him and save himself by solving a series of murders). In The Secret Speech, he is trying to save a snotty little brat he adopted who unreservedly loathes him. But then again, I hate kids, so of course I would hate a book about rescuing one.
No favorite quotes, all quotes require too much context to convey the desired effect.

Pay attention - to/too - stay with the program; I can ill afford the ebarrassment of an ignorant child.
