Why read it?
1 author picked License to Die as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is the latest in a series that is a clever parody of the James Bond series of books by Ian Fleming.
Haris Orkin is an excellent writer who has built this series around his charming protagonist, James Flynn, who you cannot tell if he is crazy or has the deepest and most brilliant cover story imaginable – a patient in a psychiatric hospital.
While it is told with a tongue firmly planted in cheek, there is plenty of real action and adventure. It is a great escape from the mundane everyday life.
From Tom's list on bringing magic into your daily life.
