My second graphic novel after Watchmen earlier in the year and I think I could really get to like these!

My biggest gripe is that, compared to a “normal” book, they aren’t as good value for money from a longevity point of view. Of course the time that has gone into not only developing the story but also bringing it to life in the illustrations can’t be questioned and as a bit of a change from the norm, they also provide welcome relief.

Is there anything that still needs to be said? Anyone out there who doesn’t actually have a copy of this on their house?

Given the sales figures I somehow doubt it!!

Some people are no doubt disappointed by it, others will love it - I’m somewhere in between. It’s typical Dan Brown stuff, and I don’t mean that as a criticism.

This book is brilliant - stop reading this drivel and go buy it now!

If someone presented this tale to you and told you they had just made it up, it was a figment of their imagination then you would read it and enjoy it but at the back of your mind you would probably think that at times it had gone a bit too far, it was a bit too far-fetched from reality. Some of the stuff which happens would never happen in real-life would it?

The catch-up didn’t happen quite as quickly as I’d hoped, but anyways…

To be honest, I’d never heard of Karin Slaughter - but what an excellent name for an author who writes about people being murdered etc!! The book was cheap, hence me buying it having never heard of the author before…

I’ll be honest - I bought this book because W H Smith had it on offer for £2.99 and it would have been rude not to.

I didn’t have a clue what to expectas I’ve not read anything by Andy McNab before, and when the first few pages were a little glossary of terms which were going to be used in the book I almost thought about giving up before I had started.  A book full of unusual acronyms is a bit like a film with subtitles in my mind - a bit of a pain in the neck!
