Review title: This book could have been 100 pages shorter.
Product review: I rarely say a book I am getting enjoyment out of should be shorter, but that is most certainly the case with this one.The first thing that should have been left out is about 60 pages of self loathing and uncertainty. In this book, the main character is hardly an assassin, which makes the title misleading in the extreme. He is more of a professional whiner, which begins to grate on you.But other people have mentioned that in their reviews, the one thing I haven't seen voiced is that the other 40 or so pages that could have been left out were the love story. Molly, the love interest of the main character, has no redeeming qualities at all. She is the least appealing love interest I have ever come across. She is paranoid, rude, surly, illogical and totally unreasonable. It's not a crime to write an unappealing love interest, but it seems evident that we are supposed to feel bad for Fitz when he loses the girl. I just felt relief.
