Kill Shot, Volume 2: An American Assassin Thriller by Vince Flynn
4.0
I'm giddy to know the aftermath of the ending but the bad guy is dead so no repercussions and humiliation for thsi person. I'm just a sucker for scenes shaming bad people! Anyway, Vince Flynn really is an easy read for me. I don't know if I just noticed it here, or maybe he'd improved in the other sequels, but he was little too descriptive in body movements here. It was not being attentive to detail but unnecessary details.
I hadn't read Mitch Rapp's series in the correct order and it doesn't really hinder from enjoying this page turner. The tension and action and mystery is well-balanced. The characters well-written even those side characters that if this is a TV series I would expect to see in the next season. I don't think they're players in the next books though.
One other thing that is interesting for me is how charming and likeable Rapp is. Jason Bourne wouldn't be if not for the movie. There's spmething abou how Rapp was written that it's Bond-esque but more vulnerable. Vulnerability. It probably is his asset as a character in a story. As of this moment I could think of Mr. Darcy. I couldn't pinpoint it yet but I'm pretty confident of the literary similarities.
