Review: Great stuff if you like guns

This isn't the usual kind of thing that I would read, but I picked it up for free and this life and death situation in a post apocalyptic Mexico had me caught from the first page. Take a B grade movie star rescued from bandits by a commando style hermit, add a plane crash with two teenage survivors whose father doesn't want to survive so he sends mercenaries after them to do the job the plan crash didn't and you have `Wanted'.This is definitely a man's book with lots of guns and killing but if you like Rambo style stuff, you'll love it. The only issue I had with the writing was Jason's tendency to head hop ie change from the perspective of one character to another then back again, or to yet another character for a couple of sentences. Every time this happened I had to read the section again just to be clear what was going on and who was thinking what. These changes in whose thoughts we were privy to didn't add anything that we couldn't have inferred from the characters actions or facial expression. I suspect, however, that for many people this won't be an issue.
