Separation of Power
Date undefinedvince flynn knows to much about political corruption and the good old boys. sure makes a person think about the happenings in our nations capitol. it's so close to the truth that it's scary!
Separation of Power
Date undefinedThe book was fantastic. It provided a deep plot line that was concluded in a very tasteful way. The "who done it" aspect of the book combined with the non-stop action provided a novel that was impossible to put down. It also broke down the character of Mitch Rapp more so then the previous novels. It really gave you incite into who Mitch Rapp really is and how complex he is.
The only downside to the book, which in my opinion is a plus, is that it must be indulged following the completion of the previous book, The Third Option. Separation of Power picks up were the Third Option leaves off, creating high intensity series that takes you for politically charged, action packed roller coaster ride that keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time. If you do not read the Third Option prior to Separation of Power, you lose a lot of the back story, along with, in my opinion, the entire experience. It would be like ready the Return of the King, by J.R. Tolkein and not reading the two proceeding books. It just does not make sense.

Date undefinedI expected a little more depth of character and story development, but Flynn just rushes this book along, forcing an unrealistic plot down our throats. This is a world where the president looks at the window of the oval office in indecision and despondency at distressing world events; and does cliched things like end a meeting, then say something that sounds morbid or fatalistic just before his aides leave the room. A world in which the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff launches into a tirade about a doomsday scenario that would bring the earth to a standstill, and when career politicians whine and are easily manipulated by their politico-peers. And we're supposed to believe that the main character, who takes every last precaution deadly seriously, brings the woman he wants to marry with him on a potentially deadly mission, and assumes wrongly he's going to be able to confront a known assassin who double-crossed him in the past and she'll tell him just because he asked nicely. And that's only halfway through the book!
