I just randomly picked up a book with a famous author's name on it to have something to review. This is my live review while I read. Chapter 1 The main character is thinking about the Supermercado. He is unemployed and has lots of free time. He used to be a spy, and is the son of the President of the United States. I'm confused. It says that the agency he worked for made a profit for it's clients, and worked in counter terrorism. I am thinking that if it involved presidents and senators it would have been part of the government, but I guess it must have been a private business instead. He bought the ingredients for chili in the Supermercado. Gosh darn it, I don't have my gun, he thinks while being attacked in the parking lot. Chapter 2 He made it to this chapter. Unlike normal people, he goes back to investigate the place where he was attacked. Chapter 3 The book doesn't explain why he is going over and trying to piece together why he was attacked. It just has him doing it. I am thinking it's because the author doesn't have anything else to write about. Or the character is a pointless person, who if this crime didn't happen would have nothing else to do. He saved the knife the attacker used, and put it in the dishwasher for some reason. Now he is taking it out to look at it. This would be better if there was a sentence that said "his built in investigation skills wouldn't let him NOT investigate." The book seemed to imply he had retired from the spy game of investigating stuff, so why is he doing this? Now, he is using his phone to take pictures of the knife, and looking up the model number on the internet. He needs a hobby, perhaps sudoku. Also, in chapter 2 we learned the police are investigating his attack. Why doesn't he feel they are capable of doing their job? The book does not mention anything of his distrust of their abilities. So I am thinking, if a person keeps reading this book at this point, they have to accept that this is what the book is about: a mugging that just keeps unraveling. It gets bigger and bigger, because the person will not stop looking into it. I don't see myself being into that, but I will read a little bit further. Other than being the son of a president, he has no reason to think the attack is personal to him and not a random mugging. He is doing a level of investigation that only makes sense if he thinks the attack is personal. Obviously, when we keep reading it will turn out to be that, but at this point it's not. So this is detective overkill. I guess since I don't approve of this, I can stop reading now. The End
