Running for Her Life and Avenging Her Father's Death - Good Read
Aaron Grunn, author of Thief, brings us right into the storyline as we meet Coral she is beginning a robbery. She and her father are Robin Hoods of sorts. They seek to right some wrongs in the world by restoring ancient artifacts back to the rightful families. To do so they have to steal from wealthy people who have a lot of power. These people have either stolen or gained these artifacts by unlawful or immoral means. The last artifact stolen brings on the wrath of a wealthy Texan. The kind of wrath that gets people killed.
Grunn has a good idea for the book and parts of it play out well. It was interesting enough I read it all in one sitting just to see how it would end. It did however have some problem area. The Coral we are introduced to in the first chapter seemed to be a mature woman. Later she seemed to be an insecure, flighty adolescent. It was difficult to see these as the same person. Especially in the end when the last heist was done. Also the amount of people involved in the last heist. Would she seriously allow 25 people in on this when she was running from a hired killer?
I did like Grunn bringing in agencies and individuals from different countries and different walks of life and showing different worldviews. It was good to see Matt, the Limo Driver, and Coral - although they did not know each other - were of the same mindset and willing to take risk to help others instead of only seeking gain for themselves.
Grunn developed several characters/settings/subplots and intertwined all these with fluid motion. These read well and kept my interest. There were times however, when some of the material itself needed to move faster.
I would read another Grunn book. I think he has good ideas and perhaps this one just didn't get quite the attention to detail it needed.
I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
Great listen
I really think this story was great the way it bounced back and forth between the thief (Coral) and the organization's trying to catch her. It kept you on your toes and held your attention as to see what twist was coming up!
Hard to follow.
Although the book has promise, it is a bit disjointed and hard to follow. It was also distracting to read an e book with so many errors still present. The main character doesn't seem genuine, shifting from pragmatist to risk taker in illogical leaps. One minute she is paranoid about strangers watching her, and the next she is flirting with homeless men and having drinks with strangers. A good editor might save this book.
A copy was provided in exchange for an honest interview.
OK
I had mixed feelings about this book.
