A review by j_m_alexander
Zero Day by David Baldacci
2.0
Boom, boom, Americana, bang, bang, fried eggs, and terrorists.
Exactly what you would expect it to be.
The writing is not terrible, but nor is there ground-breaking stuff here. This is the vein of every other special-agent, covert operative, 007-esque 'but more realistic' action-based thriller out there. It's fairly formulaic, but hey, that's how these authors manage to pump out so many books for their insatiable fans. I know I am droning on in a bit of a negative tone, but please realize I'm not saying that there is nothing of value here - it's a perfectly decent book. I was entertained by trying to bring all the pieces together; Baldacci does this very well. I'm just never going to be a devotee to the genre, but will still dip my toe in the water now and again for a change a pace.
