Title: a hollywood script in prose form
Review: the good: the action is frequent and fun. The book, overall, doesn't bog down too much. It's not overly verbosethe bad: as others pointed out, the characters are VERY 'cookie cutter', even the situations and environmenst the characters are put in are cookie cutter.The lead character , Janson is like James Bond + Jason Bourne with an identity crisis. I almost think that this story would have been better served as a plot for a Splinter Cell game, though Sam Fisher is more interesting than Janson.So is it worth it? Well, yes if you want a low maintenance read to pass the time, perhaps on a beach or airplane.But as I said, it's almost as if the book was written in the hopes of making a screenplay out of it. The cookie cutter characters that hollywood loves to put in its movies are ripe for the taking in this one.
Is the review positive or negative?
