I've read many books but I've never felt compelled to write a review until now. I don't want anybody else to waste their money. The book is laughable(and not in a good way). Although the reviewing guideline says not to mention other reviews, I think it's worth noting that all four previous excellent reviews were by the same person. The book is presented as non-fiction, it's clear from early on that it's complete fiction. Which is fine if that's what the author is selling, but from reading the editorial review and the about the author section it's implied that the book is a true story. The author may have worked for the CIA(I have my doubts) but the book seems to have been written by a teenager. If you're looking for a good assassin novel(and make no mistake, Odin is a novel) try The Bourne Identity, The Day of the Jackal, or Hit Man. You can thank me later.
