Book Review of American Assassin (Mitch Rapp, Bk 1)

Helpful Score: 2


This has been a personal, long-awaited storyline regarding the origins of Mitch Rapp. The intensity of action is as expected with Vince Flynn's novels.

This sets up the background about how Rapp was "discovered" by Irene Kennedy, the training he received, and how he started out as the icon of what some Americans would like to see in an operative in the world of terrorism.

This is full of action, manipulative coniving, and exceeds the expectations for the proper background story of Mitch Rapp.
