Book of the Week: Separation of Power

Every Thursday from now on I'll be suggesting books I've read, we will have more content on Thursday so if you're not the "reader" type you'll still be entertained.

This week's pick is:
Separation of Power
by Vince Flynn

It's an action packed book, from start to finish. If you're into espionage, CIA conspiracy theories and the likes, you'll definitely enjoy it. It is the typical spy story: Spy is about to quit the game, someone wants to kill him, spy wants to find out who wanted him dead, spy finds girl, girl leaves spy because he is too secretive, spy is caught between the girl and the game. He finds out that first he needs to find who wants to kill him before he can live a wonderful life with the girl. If you ever do read this book, you'll see that I'm not kidding.

Downfall
The only thing I did not like about this book, which might have been corrected on later versions, is the part where the author is describing the main character. He said "Mitch Rapp was 32 years old, but he felt a lot older, he joined the agency when he was 19 years old, now 15 years later he looked at himself like a veteran". If you're any good with math you'll see that there is something wrong, and to make matters worse, later on he said "He has been helping out his country ever since he was a teenager, his bones ache and he is not even 30". He never got the age thing right, but other than that it is a great book, nice twists and loaded with suspense.

Feel free to add your favorite book or one that has caught your attention.
