I really wanted to love this book, as it was right up my alley. The first
part of the book reminded me a bit of the Tom Clancy books about Jack Ryan (Hunt
for Red October, Red Rabbit, etc), and I really enjoyed it. However, I never got
"into" the book. I always felt like an outsider looking in. It's not that it's a
bad thing, but I don't care for that writing style.
I consider the second part of the book after Josh Davis retires from the
military. I don't want to give anything away, but I had a difficult time reading
about Davis's downward spiral. Some of it didn't seem realistic, and I felt his
wife would do more. I know I would have in that situation. Being removed from
the story didn't help either. I was also left with some questions that I wanted
answered....but perhaps a sequel is in the works.
I believe this is Perry Perrett's first novel, and it's not bad. I would
give it 4 stars, as the storyline is good, but the writing style isn't for
me.
The views are all my own, though I did recieve a free copy
of Twisted Wolf to read and review.
