    I guess I always figured he would have his own transportation and not have to hitch a ride in a box with UPS.

    Book Review: State of the Union 📚

    I was feeling weighed down by the content in my bioethics book, so I decided to hit pause and get back into the habit of reading. I picked up Book #3 in Brad Thor’s Scot Harvath series.

    I’m torn about this book. I felt it was very good, well written, but there seemed to be more fantastical events in this plot. Not that it was all bad, but it did border on cheesy. Those isolated elements really messed with the experience.

    I tore through it like the rest, so I’d still recommend this series to anyone looking for a fiction series to dive into. It’s like James Bond meets Jason Bourne. There’s the culture and worldwide travel combined with Boure’s raw skills.

    Would I recommend: YES
