"She was a nice little number, maybe thirty, but a bit older wasn't always a drawback" - the male protagonist in his mid to late twenties. Page 297.
This book is so obviously written by a straight man it's painful. The premise itself is good and it started out strong, but I can only read about whether or not an unnamed female character is fuckable so many times, especially considering the POV is from a man trying to find his wife. Plus are we just going to ignore that most of the women in the book were only in it to be r*ped?

New series and loved all the action and characters. Some of the science was a little hard to tolerate... But fun none the less.

This was a very poorly written comic book where plausibility was ignored.

Were this a work of juvenilia, I would be much more forgiving, for it has an OK plot and story line and a few decent characters, but it struggles with reality-- it reads like an espionage novel student writing assignment. There are too many loose ends. Ludlum did not always deal with reality, but if something was brought into the story, it was there for a reason. Adrenaline suffers under the burden of espionage cliché, and it can’t shake it. For example, the parkour at the beginning seemed interesting, but it only forced a scene or two later; something that could have been sustained without the time spent on parkour. Anyway, an OK first novel (as I finished it and no longer feel compelled to do so with weak novels) and there is hope for a better follow up.

I found this book at a library sale, it sounded thrilling and that it was. It was a little hard to keep my attention but I was mostly invested in the plot. Lots of plot twists I didn’t see coming as this isn’t my usual go-to genre.
This book was about as Jason Bourne as you can get without being Jason Bourne. There was a tiny bit of language, but nothing like this type of books usually has---yeah for that cause I get so sick of every cop/fbi/cia type being all about the swearing! This book kept me guessing until the end. I scared Scott at midnight when I screamed, "I knew it!!!" I thought I had guessed right but could not put the book down until I knew for sure.
