Well, not really. I'm actually only half way through the first book, of this five book read project. Therefore, I have a lot more reading and a lot more blogging to do before I'm even close to half way done.
Anyways, I'm not here to banter on the topic of my procrastination rather, I'm here to make you bright indiviuals even more knowledgeable with the wide array of knowledge that I own.
As previously mentioned, I began my reading adventure with Consent To Kill, by Vince Flynn. The interesting thing about this book is that the beginning and the plot throughout, coincides with the information told in the previous book. Luckily, the only other book in this series that I read was the one prior to this, so I was aware of the previous connections of Waheed Abdullah and his fate.
The protagonist in my story, Mitch Rapp, is a character that isn't so "goody-two shoes" and caring as most fairytale main characters are. Rapp is someone who lives his life to help the greater good in society and get to the bottom of terroristic plots using any means possible. Vince Flynn perfectly iillustrates these torturous, brute, characteristics that Rapp possesses through his word choice and vivid imagery. As most good authors do and we are taught to do, Flynn uses the "show don't tell" method when revealing his characters. Vince Flynn never directly announces the way that Mitch Rapp acts and the way he behaves rather, it is shown through the intense arguement that Rapp gets into with the new Director of National Intelligence, Mark Ross. As shown by the way he acts, Ross has no respect for Rapp because of his reckless antics and wants to fire him because he doesn't respect what he does.
Knowing the standard plot of a thriller book, I knew that this little conflict/problem that was introduced was just a minor one to distract the reader from the huge one that was just around the corner. The book isn't called "Consent to Kill" because of the feud between Mark Ross and Mitch Rapp, it is for some other reason that involves terroristic ploys.
I decided to put the book down right there to type this post and then hopefully get some sleep before tomorrow. The suspense is honestly killing me, because I know that Rapp doesn't just accept bad things that happen to him, he strikes back. But I'll just have to wait to find out tomorrow.
Ah, who am I kidding? To hell with sleep! I've stayed up later than that before. Sorry, but I got to go read now. I'm off to read more thrilling Mitch Rapp adventures on a Friday night. The social life is just so rampant for me!
