Title: More like 2 and a half...colliding bullets??? Please!!!
Product review: As many other reviewers have commented, this novel starts out very well, gets you hooked....but then becomes a little too ridiculous. One thing I will note however, is that there's nothing wrong with a novel having a lot of characters and a lot of sub-plots. I did have to go back and review some things as I read to keep things straight, but that's complexity and that's how life is...complex. That said, with so many characters, some of them end up being shallow and one-dimensional. King and Maxwell are a good pairing, and I think they can certainly be characters for future stories.As noted earlier, the bullets that collide and explode (admittedly in the book a "one in a billion chance") is a preposterous scenario (one of several).Bottom line questions: Was I entertained? Yes. Was I frustrated by the climax and conclusion? Yes. Has Baldacci done better? Absolutely.
