SPOILERS (don't read this part if you haven't read the book, really): Aubrey being the final 'piece' in the puzzle was just stupid and unrrealistic. It felt like the author put too much thought into trying to have one of those endings where the readers are left completely choked and thinking "Wow...I never would have though it was her/him who did that." Anyway, it was predictable, as it was Luke's father being alive. If it weren't for those two things, I may have given these book 4 stars, since it was, indeed entertaining. Returning to the question about Aubrey being Jane's ally...totally idiotic. I swear I laughed at that absurdity when I read that part. Let's be honest...while on the run with Luke, Aubrey found herself in a few situations where she didn't know wether she lived or died. I think someone on the edge of the death, wouldn't care much about keeping farses. Yet, Aubrey did. She always looked so sweet and vulnerable and I guess some people are good actors like that. That's what I think...just saying. Annnd don't even get me started on the plan Jane and Aubrey started for Aubrey to get on Eric's bed and make her love her to the point of dying for her. For God's sake...their plan was perfect, but how did they know Eric would fall so deeply in love with Aubrey and all that? Yup, unrealistic. Yet, I did enjoy the book. Kinda. LOL.
Terrorrism, however, is a sad reality. I will certainly read some of the books Jeff Abbott recommends about the subject.… (mais)
