This is the first one I've read from the Myron Bolitar series. I think I like the newer ones better. Correction, I know I do. But I did still enjoy this one, particularly his sarcasm.

Here's one passage I thought was kinda stupid, though, at the beginning of Chapter 6: "Myron mixed childlike Froot Loops and very adult All-Bran into a bowl and poured on skim milk. For those not reading the Cliffs Notes, this act denotes that there is still a great deal of boy in the man. Heavy symbolism. How poignant." Kinda corny, huh?

Learned something that, if it's true and I assume it is, is even more reason people should care about keeping races pure. It has to do with bone marrow transplant donors: Best matches are siblings, then parents, "then people of similar background" "Blacks with blacks, Jews with Jews...mixed blood is usually the hardest to match." (Funny, it sounds so trivial now.)

And finally, here are some favorite passages that demonstrate Myron's special knack for sarcasm (which I love):
"And by the way, how come you're all called 'special agent'? Doesn't that sound like something someone made up one day? Like a kid's game to raise self-esteem. 'We're promoting you from agent to special agent, Barney.' and then what, super-special agent?"
And:
"We can probably arrest him now," Green said. "Lock him up for the night, maybe leak it to the press." Myron looked up at her. "Gasp," he said. "Now. I. Am. Really. Scared. Second gasp."
Cracks me up.
