I have read a couple of the other books in the Mitch Rapp series in the order they were published. Those books came later in the story timeline than American Assassin. When I found out that they published a couple of prequel books, I figured I would go back and give them a try.American Assassin is just about what you would expect from a political/military/spy thriller. That is not a bad thing! You get all kinds of plotting, action, and badassery. As this is a prequel in the series, it is not inAmerican Assassin is definitely an addition to the spy thriller genre. It felt fresh and relevant in 2018. Rapp is an interesting character. I appreciate the drive for vengeance (something many wanted after 9/11). I also enjoyed that he isnt your typical, former military man turned spy. The only drawback is the climax and resolution felt hurried. I also feel like the love interest plot line is a little James Bond. Overall, it was an enjoyable, fast-paced read that never failed to entertain.
Hoo boy. First things first: If you're interested in reading this because of the upcoming film, you'll likely be disappointed. The plot of this book and the plot of the movie seem completely different, with the only similarity being the presence of the main character. Now the book itself is pretty much a handbook on toxic masculinity. It starts out pretty spectacularly, with the author likening a lack of honor to "emasculat[ion]" and "questioning the size of [one's] balls for as long as [one]
4 StarsFast-paced with a tight plot, American Assassin is the introductory story (in a long and ongoing series) following CIA counter-terrorist super-spy Mitch Rapp. Although the 11th published release of the series, American Assassin is set first, chronologically speaking, and showcases how (and why) young Mitch was originally recruited by the CIA. I enjoyed the hell out of this story! Here, Flynn created an impressively written action/thriller story, featuring some damn cool characters. I'll
Although I don't think many people actually follow what I say, I have to retract the criticism I made of Flynn's last few books. Actually, I'm not going to retract them, because they were true--Flynn was letting his ideology get in the way of the storytelling. Rather, I will say that he's returned to the stuff that made his earlier work great--compelling characters, amazing story lines, and a breathtaking adventure that leaves you sorry when the book ends.Flynn takes his hero, Mitch Rapp, back
They need to hire me to proof for them. Ive come across more than a few books with an unacceptable amount of typos here lately. Is no one reading this stuff before it goes to press?And Im not that much of an anal freak, but 20 typos before page 78 is too many.The reason for my annoyance is because Vince Flynn is a great writer, and I believe I read he is dyslexic, thus he does not have a dedicated team supporting him. Thats a shame because his Mitch Rapp novels tap into the raw emotion of real
Thoughts while reading: Forgot I was reading about grown men for a second. Would've sworn that I was reading about teenage boys in a juvie facility, or some shit. Also, five times so far (every ten pages or so) the author has brought up the size of men's testicles. This person has large balls, this fella must have big balls, that dude's balls must be big, and so on. I'm guessing Flynn was a nut man?Ridiculous macho porn for men who insist on talking like Snake Plisken. DNF.
