Capture or Kill: A Mitch Rapp Novel by Don Bentley

WORST Mitch Rapp novel ever. The author spends too much time narrating and not enough time on dialogue. The action scenes drag on for too long. And the backstory is boring. It's like watching a TV series and suddenly one episode is a flashback that has nothing to do with the main story arc. I think the series also runs out of bad guys. Mitch Rapp already fought jihadists, the Taliban, ISIS, Iranians, North Koreans, Chinese, and Russians. Who else is there for him to fight?

End of a genre. Bentley took years of Vince Flynn’s hard work creating and maintaining the Mitch Tapp character and flushed it down the toilet. Is this guy a 22 year old coffee shop writer? Because that is the way he writes. Was never sure where I was during the first 100 pages of the book. Feel like I’ve been robbed of all my good Mitch Rapp memories. Hope someone else does a better job of the next one. Just let the series die if this is what we are going to get.

So Don Winslow starts his Rapp writing on a fictionalized version of the Bin Laden raid. Injecting Rapp in one of the most written about military operation. Zero Dark Thirty, No Easy Day and on and on true accounts of the event. And I paid $15 for a fictionalized one. I want my money back.
