American Assassin

Another testosterone-fueled, Mary Sue main character who basically is what the author wishes he was...but, you know what? I didn't mind it.

Origin stories are usually my favorite books of the series. It's always fun to read about how the main character got his powers, for lack of a better euphemism. Mitch Rapp's motivations are noble, if a little on the psychotic side, and Vince Flynn (RIP) writes a solid book. It's a little thin when it comes to emotional impact, but the action is good, the dialogue is better, and I enjoyed it.

Painful cliches at times, but the plot draws you in.

A good action book. Written brilliantly with short enough chapters to be able to fit it in to your every day life. The introduction to Mitch Rapp welcomes you to a hard character with obvious motives to his rawness and yet someone who, despite his own natural abilities, is still young and is always learning. Good book, not the best I've read, nothing outstanding about it either.

Couldn't get into this one. The prose was very clunky and written strangely.

I wanted to like this, but whoever proofread this needs to be fired. Really made me second guess reading the rest of this series.

Good Book. I love reading chronologically so not all that thrilled when authors decide to write the prequel to the series.
