I'm not sure exactly why I didn't like this book as much as the others, but it could have been any number of things. The sex stuff didn't bother me nearly as much as the sheer length of the book did. It seemed like it was 2 books jammed into one. At one point I thought that I lost my magic reading speed, but then I looked up how many pages the book was and felt a little better about myself. Anita's character is still confusing and confused, but I find myself really liking her (what that says about me, I don't know). I like Richard less and less, and I've even found myself liking Jean-Claude less and less. Micah is still a big question mark and Nathaniel is just... meh. I think, oddly enough, I like Jason most of all, as far as possible guy interests go. I looked up the info on the next book and it looks to be the same length. Here's hoping it is a little better chopped up or something. Or has Edward in it. Or... something. Because this book kind of dragged, although it moved things forward a bit (at a painfully slow pace, but still...)
A thorough account of the military invasion from one of the world's leading military historians. Perhaps too much detail for the lay person, even if it is described in non-technical terms. My personal preference would have been for more political and historical analysis. I probably should have realised it was a military history first and foremost, and thus not really my cup of tea. More coverage of the insurgency aftermath and the tactical mistakes undertaken during the occupation is sorely needed but perhaps that will come in a later book.
Creepy! Scary! Entertaining, but I definitely felt safer reading this thriller in the safety of daylight. Makes me want to read more of Nesbo's "Harry Hole" series.
