No-one reads this kind of book for Booker prize winning levels of writing. They're a guilty pleasure; filled with explosions and derring-do. This may well have an excellent story … somewhere. Buried underneath the most turgid prose I've read in ages. I can't remember the last time I gave up on a book because it was so badly written. The characters are cardboard cut-outs. The dialogue is ridiculous, as are the situations in which the protagonists find themselves. The worst part though, is death by adjective (and the nouns are often hilariously inappropriate). The author must have had a thesaurus in one hand while typing with the other. It's unreadable. Avoid.
