Favorite and least favorite parts of the book?

Post by Ferdinand_Otieno »

The story has a lot of favorite parts and some that I liked least. For me, my favorite part was Sharon and Steve developing relationship despite their frosted and mistrustful meeting. The part I liked least in the story was the characterization of the terrorrist leader as initially intelligent and psychopathic but then turns around to timid and fearful.

I liked the ending, how everything is resolved and that book has a happy ending.

I never actually realized the character change in the foreign leader. That's interesting.

My least favorite part is probably the talk show, the chapter and characters could have been intertwined in the story a bit more than just being seen on T.V. by the main characters for a few minutes.

My favorite part of the story is Steve. The story had more direction and action once he came along.

My favorite part is when Steve's character becomes known to the US of A team. Hahahaha, I can't forget that part. 🤗🤗🤗

I really like the concept of the book and the action scenes. I loved how the book began with immediate action and hooked me in. However, I find the character development to be a weakness. I have mentioned in other strands, but around chapter nine I found my attention waning, this is when the American team is grouping together and getting to know each other, and I just did not find it believable and therefore uninteresting.

We are definitely on the same page on both counts! I enjoyed Steve and Sharon's budding relationship. It was my favorite part too. And I certainly agree with you on the terrorist leader! She could lead an all-male team in a terrorist plot and bark out orders to them, but when Steve approached her on the beach when she was posing as a tourist she was like a scared rabbit! That was my least favorite part.

My best part was the end of the book. The way the author tied up the sub-plots made a lot of sense to me. Though I felt there could have been a more detailed ending, but it was good.

The book has so many amazing parts that it's hard to choose which one is my favorite. I would say it's probably the ending. It was fascinating to see how everything resolved. My least favorite part of the book was the talk show. I think it wasn't as good as the rest of the book.

The book hooked me in from the beginning, as well. Most books begin a little boring and then build up for action, while this one jumped into immediate action. I love action-packed books, so I enjoyed reading this one a lot.

I liked most of the sneaking around and spying, except when things felt a bit too convenient. For example, when Tom hacks into the system in a few minutes with just a smartphone to get information on that plate number or when the gang figures out a way to access the computer through a convenient phone the antagonists just left lying around.

My favourite part of the novel was Steve and Sharon's relationship. I loved how it developed even though they didn't quite like each other when they first met. I also really liked the ending.
My least favourite part was the talk show bit which didn't really captivate me.

I'll agree with you on both points: succinctly suspenseful conclusion, seemingly complex talk show scene. I loved when Lt. "Flash" Gordon joined the cast! To infinity and beyond...

Sharon and Steve made the book glowing in intellectual attributes because of their witty banter.

I love place where Kelly is on her honeymoon and wanders very far away from where the tour bus was and then finds herself in a dangerous concealed piggy shop. She she comfronted by a man that grabs her by behind. Her escape is excellent. All through this,there is a bit of suspense and tension.
