Funk Rating: 6 out of 10
Sometimes books and I don't get along. This happened with this book -- I found so, so many plot holes, disjointed storylines, incomplete thoughts, etc. that I just couldn't enjoy the story. I enjoyed the predecessor, The American, a bit (although I apparently didn't blog it). But this one just didn't work for me.
Characters did things that didn't make sense. They were feeling passionate about one thing and had no other possible choice other than path A. Then you turn the page, and they're passionate about something else and going down opposite path B. Characters arrive with great fanfare and great importance; then they disappear, never to factor in again. The President wants X, then he wants Y.
It felt like someone trying to be Robert Ludlum and failing, miserably.
Can't recommend this one...
