This was my first Suzanne Brockman novel and I must say that it wasn't the best book I've ever read. I enjoyed the main storyline of Navy SEAL Ken Karmody and Savannah von Hopf's romance. I even liked the second storyline of Molly and Jones in Jakarta. The kidnapping and rescue mission in Indonesia happened in current time so there really was no reason for the whole WWII Hitler back story with Savannah's grandmother, Rose. Granted her autobiography was being read by various characters but it had no bearing on the storyline of Out of Control. I just don't get the point of having it in the book.
This book took longer than usual to read as it seemed to go off topic too much. There was page-after-page and in almost every chapter excerpts from Rose's autobiography. I had no interest whatsoever in Savannah's grandmothers exploits during the war. That period in time had absolutely nothing to do with what was happening in Indonesia. It got to the point were I was skipping all the excerpts just to get back to the story and get done with the book.
I have many more Brockman books so I will be reading her again but I hope that the next book doesn't have superfluous storylines. It's rather tedious and unnecessary.
