Title: A satisfactory action book
Product review: Lions is a book about a courageouse agent, rescuing kidnapped US president. This premise is not very realistic, as is the novel itself. But it's a fun James Bond - like yarn.Everything is large scale, bigger than life, etc. Nevertheless, the charactes are likeable, the scenery is nice and the action swift. This is no Forsythe or Le Carre, and it's less intricate than Ludlum, and has no geopolitics, so Clancy comparison is strange. Lions should be compared to Bond or Jon Lands' Blaine McKracken - and Scott Harthath is on the level with those guys.Bottom line: Basically, this book is a Hollywood action blockbuster on paper - not very intelligent, but swift and pretty.And, let's face it, we still like such movies.
