Summary: BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT
Review: No one (save Michael DiMercurio) does character development better than Vince Flynn. He is THE MASTER at this type of novel. I got it on Monday, it'll be done by Sunday, and the only downside is I gotta wait 1-1.5 years for another one.How about a movie on the Rapp character? PUH-Lease?

Summary: Politically Incorrect and SUPER-relevant thriller of ideas
Review: Remember Lt. Colonel West who held a gun to an Iraqi terrorist's head in order to get time sensitive information to save his men's lives? If you agreed with his actions and were outraged by the attempt to court martial him and deny him his pension, you'll love MEMORIAL DAY! Mitch Rapp, Vince Flynn's hero, and he IS a hero, is a CIA assassin, who both tortures and assassinates Islamofascistic terrorists in order to thwart a pending Al-Queda nuclear attack on the U.S. Mitch Rapp is the very opposite of the *seven idiots who almost lost us the war,* and shamed us all. He knows the death-worshipping, life-hating, fanatical nature of the enemy and although he is political incorrectness personified, I have no problem with his actions. Mitch's nemesis, Valerie Jones, the President's Chief of Staff (think Judy Davis), and a new villainness, the beautiful, super-ambitious Peggy Stealey, a deputy asst. attorney general who loathes and wants to gut the Patriot Act keep getting in the way of getting the job done. Tony Jackson, the *mouth of the south* is hired as an attorney by an Islamofascist terrorist who cannily became an American citizen and keeps demanding his rights. (Can you immediately revoke someone's citizenship if he's proved to be a terrorist? I hope so). Because we as a society are wrestling with issues of torture, assassination, rights, and how we deal with this enemy without becoming like them or abandoning our principles, MEMORIAL DAY is my favorite of all the thrillers I've recently read. I found it more persuasive and interesting than all the blather of the chattering classes on cable TV. I'll be rereading MEMORIAL DAY again.

Summary: One of his best
Review: See storyline above. Vince Flynn offers up one of his best novels yet in this well rounded thriller. This novel is not only timely, it offers up a character (Mitch Rapp) who knows what it takes to win war on terrorism, like it or not.
An exciting story you'll want to read quickly. Looking forward to the next Rapp novel. Highly recommended.

Summary: Mitch Rapp is back!!
Review: Simply put, if you like the other "Mitch Rapp" books, you'll like this one. The superman of CIA operatives is out to save Washington DC (and the US) from a terrorist attack. Given what's going on in the world the book has a "real world" feeling to it; which puts it a cut above the usual fiction in my opinion. Another excellent effort from Vince Flynn. I hope there are more Mitch Rapp in our future.

Summary: Just Frightening - A Short Review
Review: Since others will no doubt cover the plot, I would like to comment on matter, style and personal recommendation. Subject matter: Keeping with his eerie and uncanny ability to make fiction read like unfolding history, Flynn does it again! Perhaps one of the more bizarre "true to life" events in this title is the description of torture and abuse depicted early in the book. Style: Mr. Flynn's style is smooth with easy transitions. Not always "fast," but always compelling and interesting throughout the story line. I would compare his style with his earlier works, but there is a noted maturity with the last two. The stories are not hurried as some authors breeze through their works. Recommendation: He reads like Clancy on detail and plot. He reads like Grisham in descriptive drama. He captivates like Dan Brown. I hope this helps you make a better decision. I hope you enjoy this title as much as I did.

Review: The book was very up to date as far as its action .As wild as the plot was in todays
world it was believable.Could not turn pages fast enough
to find out what happens.Technically quite accurate ,often the key between pretenders and the real deal writers.Like to see this in a movie .

Summary: How to Fight Terrorism
Review: The star character of Memorial Day is Mitch Rapp. He is a dedicated, determined, independent, bold, and sometimes ruthless intelligence agent. Rapp is willing to kill terrorists in order to get other terrorists to talk and thus save the lives of tens or even hundreds of thousands of his fellow countrymen. It is not always best for his superiors to have complete knowledge of his activities. Memorial Day is an intriguing story of reaction to information of a pending nuclear attack on the United States. The author goes behind the scenes to show the workings and hindrances of government agencies in the battle against terrorists as well as the political impact on decision-making, The short chapters give many opportunities to take a break from reading, but this is difficult as you anticipate the further actions in facing imminent danger. I only found slow reading with the detailed military action depicted in the early chapters of the book. It is difficult to believe that the heroics of a Mitch Rapp could be a realistic expectation within our government, but our lives may well depend on it.

Summary: Excellent political thriller
Review: The thing that comes to mind when reading this is, "Tom Clancy-Lite". The style and subject matter bring to mind an early Tom Clancy, but without all the unnecessary political grandstanding. And at 400 pages, it's a much quicker read. This is an excellent, fast-paced, and timely thriller. There are constant twists throughout the novel, and not just one climax at the end, which makes it a more entertaining read. This is the first book by this author that I have read, but I'll be picking up some of his earlier work. This isn't great "literature", but it's perfect for the beach or on a long plane ride.

Summary: AS GOOD AS TERM LIMITS
Review: This book is just as good as Flynn's original Term Limits. Great action, great story line and very realistic given today's climate. The main character Mitch Rapp says and does the things we wish we could hear from our own politicians. The politically correct crowd in this book face the real truth, not their own liberal truths. And I was glad to see that Mr. Flynn avoided all of the husband/wife trials and tribulations that were so prevelant in the last book.
