Review: Uneven but interesting, with decent action

The author has control of the action and undercover details.  The plot is well done.  I didn't like the ending, but that's just me.  The hero is too tormented, sloppy, and unaware to be like a hero in a Child book - no comparison there - but he is likeable.  The front story was interesting and provided some of the motivation.  I could have done without repeating the various flashbacks of past and present gore, not because of the gore but because of the repetition - fiction doesn't have to be just like real life.  The book seemed to pick up steam as it built to the ending and became darkly funny, which I loved.  I liked the hero's speeches.  The author has a future writing this type of book and I would look at another one.
