![]() ![]() ![]() I've never before read a novel that required such complete belief in something to even appreciate. Don't get me started on his portrayal of the French as a bunch of slimy, jealous bastards who don't have control over their destiny. Couldn't they have been afraid too? Explain why they would fear the U.S? The irony is that it's a bit indoctrinated, angry and hateful to represent other systems of beliefs like that. Kill Shot: An American Assassin Thriller (Mitch Rapp). They are only indoctrinated, angry and hateful. Vince Flynn Books Vince Flynn (1966-2013) was a bestselling author of political thrillers, best known for his Mitch Rapp series, starring the aggressive undercover CIA counter-terrorism agent famous for taking measures that are more extreme than might be considered commonly acceptable. I expected that, but those characters are one trick ponies. The Arabic people are all terrorists or sympathizers. None of the non-American characters have any redeeming traits. But it was difficult, for that Flynn micromanages his political message to an astounding degree. ![]() Beliefs shouldn't get in the way of great art and especially not in the way of its appreciation. ![]() My difference with Vince Flynn are mainly political, so I made every possible effort to mend fence. ![]()
