The
interesting thing was what he witnesses the final minute before he falls back
asleep: the president walking out of a house, where a woman just screamed.
Strange. But was it really him? And how
do you even begin to handle a situation like this?
Witty, at
times, this story takes the reader on a grueling, exhausting task of clandestine—often
bumbling—exploits. He’s only awake for an hour, for god sakes! And, of course,
he has no idea what he’s doing.
Eventually,
it started to feel like one of those clumsy James Bond investigations. How do
you unlock the secret conspiracies of the White House? Henry Bins actually
reminded me of a white version of Will Smith from his Enemy of the State movie. He did spend way too much time talking to
that cat though. And perhaps the story swerved into the political thriller
genre, which I’m not too keen on, and, admittedly, the mystery sort’ve died
down on me. It sounded exciting at the beginning, but then, after a while, I
found I couldn’t have cared less on who killed the woman. The whole story was
nothing but: wake up, investigate for an hour, then sleep for a REALLY long
time. (Rewind & Repeat)
Shoot, I was
actually getting sleepy while reading this myself.
My rating: 2 stars
