American Assassin is a novel that shows the gritty, absolute horrors of war that are going on today. It is tiring to see mainstream media focus on moral grays, and condemn those who believe there is evil and there is good. Why? Because the blatant line between good and evil. This book had me cheering more than once. I can’t quite fathom how the movie could fuddle so much. I was quite certain the book, as usual, would be better. I’d watched the film a year earlier, and rated the movie a solid 3.5 stars. There were typos and spelling errors and small things like that, but it wasn’t hard to ignore (especially since I read Dee Henderson novels, ha). You aren’t supposed to be lost at a sea of confusion or bogged down with too much information. You’re given enough to understand and formulate. The places where you were supposed to stop, think, and understand. There were only a few times where I really had to think about what was going on, and those were in the right places. I was swept away in a story that surpassed my exceptions. The motivations, plots, subplots, you name it, it was clear and didn’t bog you down. I was right.ĪA follows more than one character throughout the nail-biting journey, but it never felt rushed, and I didn’t get confused with the good guys or bad guys.

Why? Because I’d seen the movie and was certain the book had to be better. I found this book in the sale bin at Books-A-Million and, after my fangirl attack, bought it without a second thought. And even if I am a writer of thrillers, I can rarely bare to actually read a lot of them. *heart eyes* ~~~ĪMERICAN ASSASSIN AUTHOR: Vince Flynn PUBLISHER: Simon & Schuster | Astria/Emily Bestler Books GENRE: Thriller SETTING: Unites States, Germany, etc etc RATING: 5/5 stars ~~~ STORYĪmerican Assassin is one of the most enjoyable, thrilling, fast-paced novels I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading.

This review will be longer and more emotion-filled than the Goodreads rating… because it’s my blog and I can do what I want and do it to the EXTREME. But let’s get straight to the review and fangirling. If you’re wondering why I’ve been MIA on the blog, an explanation will be at the end of this review.
