The Intern's Handbook

I really enjoyed this book. It was a quick read. At first I thought it was going to read like stereo instructions (the word “handbook” scares me), but it was a really nice narrative. It follows John Lago, orphan turned drug mule turned assassin. Most of the story is about his “last job” before retiring from the assassin business at the “ripe age of 25.”
Over the course of the book, I grew really attached to John, and loved his relationship with Alice. The last few chapters were a total surprise twist, but I liked that direction it took. The very end was left a little open ended, which I did NOT like. But overall, it was a great novel.
