Meltzer keeps the pace going although at times it's at the sacrifice of the writing. How many times can a character "smash" through the door way? Really? A nicely done cave sequence mid-story that adds the last needed reader momentum to get to the finale and tie up all the loose ends. Don't expect the book to stay with you after completed, nor to learn anything insightful about the inner workings of DC. Overall, exactly what the cover advertises; a cool sleek story loosely tied around an insiders experience in DC politics. Good short chapters make it easy reading for the beach or plane travel to boot. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/122713?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
