Review: Get's bogged down.

Get's bogged down.  I followed the beginning of the story eagerly but the ex-special forces protagonist Ethan Stone doesn't seem very ex-Special Forces.  Maybe I'm a bit spoiled by some of the over the top writing where the author is a bit tongue in cheek and takes some literary license with the amazing abilities of special forces/secret agents but this one seems to have swung completely to the opposite direction.  He seems to be taken by surprise constantly, doesn't seem to display any street smarts at all, and about halfway through the book the storyline starts to seem like it's plodding along.  Took a lot of tries for me to finish the book - admittedly I have a ton of books on my Kindle app and I typically read 8-12 books at a time, jumping back and forth between them, but this one had me forcing myself back to it just to get it finished.  If you like your secret agents to be quite ordinary this may be the book for you, it did not do it for me.
