Entertaining. Bordering on competency porn though. The hero is always one step ahead, he's very clever, he's very lucky, he's very handy with the ladies, his superiors aren't morons, and the ones who might be are easily won over by his charm and amazing ability. Again, a fast entertaining book, funny at times as well.
