The Henchmen's Book Club by Danny King
5.0
Ok, that was some funny shit right there. This was the first Danny King book I'd ever read, but I'm 100% sure it won't be the last. I think I laughed the whole way through. It even improved my mood after having a spat with my other half. It takes a lot to do that, but The Henchmen's Book Club was up to the task.
Mark Jones is an Affiliate, a henchman for hire, and a good one at that. He's managed to survive far longer than many in an undeniably deadly job. It seems every Goldfinger wannabe has a few piranha tanks or hungry alligators about. He's also a man after my own heart, a dedicated bibliophile. He likes to read and, surprisingly, finds a number of other henchmen do too. Thus is born The Book Club. They read good books. I had to look more than one of the titles up in order to get the reference. I did occasionally wonder where all the books came from, but really didn't find that a point worth too much worry.
The American and British special agents are pure amusement. Though I am just a tad ashamed to come from the same homeland as Rip Dunbar. What a tool! I love that their personalities are so very different, but still falling within the same character archetype.
I highly recommend picking this one up. There are a few missing words here and there. King even acknowledges that in the afterward. I didn't find it particularly distracting though. Definitely not enough to change my opinion of the book.
