I Am the Weapon by Allen Zadoff
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Here is another book outside the realm of what I would typically read that I really loved. Once I started it, I could not put it down. And the short chapters made me feel like I flew through this book.
Zach is a 16 year old soldier for The Program. He goes through his life ever being the new kid at school, finding his target and eliminating it. All is well until he’s sent to New York with the target being the Mayor. The time frame for the mission is only 5 days which is out of the normal.
He meets the Mayors daughter in school as a way to get close to the Mayor and, after having two opportunities to finish his assignment, the target is changed from the Mayor to his daughter.
This is a quick, on the edge of your seat read. I can’t wait to read the next one! 🙂
