The Reluctant Assassin

Short Review: An orphan from 1898 and a disgraced teen FBI agent from the present team up to survive (and hopefully defeat) a time traveling homicidal maniac. Everyone will compare this to Artemis Fowl. It is fine, but not as good. A lot more violent and a bit older reader. The characters are fairly well drawn, but the plot is basically stay alive and avoid the homicidal maniac. And that just really isn't enough to drive the book. But it was (is until May 21) free at ya sync's weekly audiobook giveaway for the summer. And it wasn't a bad listen since I didn't have to pay for it.
