The Watchman

The Watchman starts off at a fast pace and tries to stay that way throughout the book. The main protagonist with a name like Mike has got to be good right? So he goes off reducing the number of bad guys almost immediately while making sure that even a hair on his head isnt bruised. This turned out to be one of those action hero books which makes Jason Bourne look like an amateaur. There is a love angle without a love angle, the good guy saves the girl, beats up the bad guys and walks away into the horizon. A book to pick up only if you like nonstop, brainless action like I do. It’s written by Robert Crais. I kept getting gthe feeling that the author wanted to make Mike here a kind of sequel creating book, giving him almost super natural abilities of endurance, not having to sleep, eyes which don’t show emotions nor a heart that doesn’t skip a beat, the next thing to expect is a stare that could kill but thankfully its not yet there… might be there in Mike’s next book.
