I gave up on this book the first time I read it - there are way, way too many sentence fragments throughout.  I still didn't like the writing style, even after reading the book.  It felt like a fourth-grader's English assignment, in a way, between the fragments and the very simple language - I'd peg this at less than a grade six reading level.  It was effective at directing attention, I guess.  The plot was a lot of fun, but the Amazon series was better.

 

It did hook me, and was a very fast read. I'm still looking for a fun thriller written at a high level, though.
