This book was so much fun to read, but for odd reasons. For me the big appeal of the book was Robie and his awkwardness in relating to other people especially Julie, who was the other big appeal of the book.

At first glance Robie seems like every other bad ass spy assassin, but as the book goes on you realize that Robie is not like that. Yes, he kills people, but he he has a moral code, one which seemed to toss him in this mess. He kept trying to keep ahead of things and for most of the book he wasn't too far behind. He managed to make some great leaps in logic that seemed to come out of no where, but if you made your living like this maybe things would make sense.

Julie happens to be wrong place wrong time, only more wrong person wrong time. I loved how she wanted to be included in on all the plans. She had to do something to make up for her situation. I thought that Robie did a great job of including her and at times she did come up with some great info that Robie couldn't.

While I didn't guess the main big bad person, I did guess one of them. It seemed like it was obvious right from the start, I just kept waiting to see just how they would be involved.

I loved the ending with Robie and Julie. I would love to see more books with these 2, not sure how that would work, but they make a great team!
