Thriller

Ein Buch voller Klischees und Schwarz-Weiß-Denken. Es bietet keinen Mehrwert und ist vorhersehbar. Nicht zu empfehlen! ( )

Like a script for a straight to VHS film starring a well-past-his-prime Steven Seagal. Deliberately and stubbornly cliche, pandering to the target audience. Almost like a book for people who don't like to read books. Passages from the main character's POV are in first person present tense, which I found distracting. Maybe it's common in this urgent/thriller genre?
Not the kind of book for me at all, so take the rating with a grain of salt. ( )

Easy read, lots of suspense. Had a little trouble keeping track of the characters with foreign names, especially toward the end, but that may have been because I was listening to the audiobook. ( )

An enjoyable read, albeit a bit macho at times. 3.75/5 ( )
