Great job on the review! This book seems packed with action, sounds like a great read for people who like fast-paced books. I'm not sure I'm a fan of "testosterone-fueled adventure" so I don't think I'll be reading this one, but I can understand why you enjoyed it. :)

I understand your point on the grammatical errors, formatting issue with pdf version and the ending. Thank You for the honest and well written review.

Excellent review! It is very detailed and would definitely encourage me to read this book. I am not a great fan of combat scenes myself, and I think readers would appreciate the note on this, as well as the role of women. Your review seems balanced, highlighting the exciting and amusing aspects of the story, as well as the things you didn't like, such as the abrupt ending.

Thanks for your informative review. This is probably a book I would not care to read, I don't like combat scenes.

Nicely written review. However, due to the political, overseas, and war theme action, this is not my style book and I do not plan on reading it.
It's Always Worth the Read.

This definitely sounds like a book for men especially with all the fight scenes and the men who can shoot perfectly. I like your review and the hypocrisy that is laced into the story like radical Middle Eastern terrorist that use Israeli weapons. I also like that it is set in West Africa because it adds a richness to the plot and believeability.

I like how the book is set in many different locations and I also like how there is a lot of fighting scenes. This seems like a book I would enjoy. Great job on the review!

I think it's great that the setting of this story isn't the typical American or European setting. I don't typically care for adventure/thrillers, but I like the different sounding perspective of this one. Great review :)

An action/adventure story showing the differences between urban and rural west Africa makes it an interesting read. Congrats on being the BOTD. :)
