Book Reviews of Separation of Power (Mitch Rapp Novels)Book Review: First time I've read Flynn but not the last Summary: 5 Stars
I was at the library when a gentleman saw me with one of Lee Child's Jack Reacher Novels. He commented that it was a good book, and then told me if I liked Child, I should read Vince Flynn, and held up the Flynn novel he was carrying. I decided to take his advice, and I picked up "Separation of Power." I enjoyed the book, and look forward to reading more of Flynn's novels.
Since this is the first of Flynn's books I've read, I missed some of the back story regarding the hero Mitch Rapp and the other characters in the novel. Reading those first would probably been best, but this story stands on its own, and so I still had a good read and enough was provided here that you didn't have to read the earlier works. That tells you it was a good book. Not only do I want to read the books that come after this one, but I want to go back and read those earlier tales even though I know part of the outcome.
Additionally, the story is dated regarding the plots includes nuclear arms possessed by Saddam Hussein. So I had to ignore the actual circumstances surrounding Hussein, and just enjoy the story. And enjoy it I did. It had action and suspense all the way through. I found myself really liking Mitch Rapp and really disliking other characters. I liked the way Flynn told the story, and I will definitely read more of his novels. In fact, I already picked up a couple to read and will do so in the very near future.
