No, not about the new movie coming out, nor about my getting swoll off the new P-90X workout video. Nope, this has to do with the Vince Flynn book I just finished, Memorial Day.
One must know that it won't be Dickensian when one picks up a Vince Flynn novel. No David Copperfield, instead the protagonist is Mitch Rapp. Just the name alone tells you alot about the thriller that about to come. But I'm sorry to say the further in the series I've gone the worse the writing. I found nothing worth highlighting in the whole text. No interesting passages, no clever turns of phrase and no fun vocabulary. The only thing he did well was describe a raid in Afghanistan, but as soon as that was over, all downhill.
Still, I didn't give up on Page 1 as I did with Brad Thor. Maybe the title is a bit of hyperbole. Maybe he's not quite Thor-ish yet.
