Book Reviews of Executive Power (Mitch Rapp)
Book Review: CIA Anti-Terrorist Advisor Mitch Rapp Has More Adventures
Summary: 4 Stars
The reader is confronted with a rather wimpy Democrat President who had the good sense to bring in as an Advisor Mitch Rapp, a real all-star hero. The book starts off with an ill fated attempt by a Navy Seal team to rescue an American family being held by the Abu Sayyaf guerrillas. The enemy was tipped off by a corrupt Philippine general. The Seals were ambushed. Rapp comes into the picture and carries out a successful rescue operation that dispenses with the general. The story then shifts to the middle-east (Israel,Palestine, Saudi's). A somewhat sympathetic character is the Palestinian terrorist David who orchestrates some very clever plots. Irene Kennedy, the CIA Director is fighting the good battle. Rapp's wife, a tv reporter is a bit too much. It's hard to imagine a guy like Mitch Rapp going for her. Anyway,it's a fairly good read.Book Review: Get rid of the wife
Summary: 4 Stars
I love Flynn's books, but this one was not one of his best. I thought the history and politics of Israel and Palestine was very interesting. There were actually two story lines in this book. The Palestinian plot by David against the Saudi millionaire misfit who sponsored David's terrorism and then the kidnapped family in the Philippines. Rapp is directly involved in saving the family and it was a bit far-fetched. Rapp's new wife is a pain. She is a reporter who is only interested in getting a story and not about keeping her mouth shut regarding Rapp's covert activities. This book cannot compare to Memorial Day.Book Review: Another exciting installment
Summary: 4 Stars
Once again Vince Flynn takes us into the world of a CIA secret operative otherwise known as an assassin. Mitch Rapp leads us through another fun, fast paced adventure as he travels the world hunting down the terrorists that threaten America's safety.
This novel is a fun and exciting thriller. While it is a bit over the top at times, it is a good portrayal of the considerations that the CIA and other government leaders have to evaluate when faced with the threat of global terrorism. It also captures the political forces that attempt to interfere with international relations.
Book Review: One of the Best
Summary: 4 Stars
This was one of the best Flynn books and I've read them, in order, needing only to read Memorial Day and Consent to Kill. Once again, a good share of violence, sneaky politicians, and backstabbing. This book has a scene in the Phillipines that is really well done. Irene Kennedy's character is becoming much more well rounded and the "wife" is still a pain. I keep hoping Mitch Rapp will dump her.Book Review: Flynn Makes a Good Point
Summary: 4 Stars
I found this book to be very moving and exciting. Above all I think Flynn makes a good point about the need to be supportive of those who risk their lives for this country. Overall it was an enjoyable read.
