2.5

 
After reading several very emotional and hard hitting books, I was hoping that this would be  fast, fun, action packed and enjoyable to read.  Unfortunately  this book was neither fun  nor enjoyable. The action scenes were interrupted with romantic interludes that just did not work for me. 

I admit that the overall plot was to some extent interesting, however the execution was not great. 

Two thirds of the book are a 2 star rating, the last raises it for me to a 2.5. I admit that the timing I listened to this audio might also have played a part in my negative review as cancer is a big plot point and I just recently lost someone to this horrible disease. If I had known beforehand I might have passed on this title for the time being. 

All in all a disappointing read.
