5.0

The Gray Man is one of the most action-packed books I have read. There are a couple slower parts, but they are very small blips. I couldn't put this book down and I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

I highly recommend The Gray Man to anyone looking for a good, action-packed thriller. It reminded me of a mix of the Jason Bourne and John Wick movies.

Very action packed and fast-paced. More like an action movie than a book. The lack of contractions really took me out of it sometimes and some of it was cliché but it was fun.

This could have been just another Jason Bourne clone, but Greaney made Court Gentry unique enough to stand on his own. I don't know if I'd like to continue the series, but this one was action packed, bloody and gruesome at times.
