The Target by David Baldacci

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Typical great Baldacci/Will Robie reading. Minimal foul language and the chemistry between Robie and Reel is what makes this book, and so far the series, so exciting. Maybe it's just me, but I love books that have male and female lead characters. The back and forth verbal and nonverbal exchanges between the sexes are fun.

There was one point in the story where Robie and Reel went off on a side mission that seemed to have no bearing on the plot. I scratched my head about this, but in the end, I decided I didn't care. The action scenes were still great and that's what most important.

Once again I found myself skipping over the chapters that didn't focus on the main characters. Not that they weren't done well. It's just my reading preference. I don't really care about the nitty gritty details of anyone outside of the protagonist and his or her allies.

If you've read the first two books in the series, then #3 is a must for you. If you haven't read any, go back and start with book #1. As for me, I'll be grabbing book #4 in the near future.
