Ultra entertaining from start to finish!

I listen to a lot of audio books but have never felt compelled to write a review until now. This title was so entertaining and well written and narrated, I spent extra time just sitting in my car at the supermarket listening!

The writing is tight and clever, the plot unexpected, and unique. By far the most suspenseful and exciting assassin novel I've listened to. I highly recommend this book for anyone who likes the genre, and likes that Kill Bill style whimsy.

MORE JOHN LAGO = MORE FUN FOR US!

If you can suspend your disbelief, you'll love this book. It's fast-paced, clever, violent and romantic (!) all at once as the story of John Lago, the intern-cum-paid-assassin we first met in The Intern's Handbook, continues along the same vein. However, this time, he's supposed to kill his most dangerous antagonist: his wife Alice.

The author spends a little too much time going into John's previous jobs which don't really resonate with his current one, but it's all a crazy exercise for him and he manages to get through his life with only a few bumps and bruises.

But, John Lago remains a great character -- smart, seriously smart, incredibly strong and wonderfully entertaining.

The narrator is phenomenal -- he nails the nuances of John Lago's character and manages to capture the wry humor of Kuhn's writing. His narration is a wonderful asset to this book!

It's most certainly a thrill-ride!

Power in well thought out

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

I enjoyed the banter between Mr. and Mrs. Hitman. The hotel setting on the weeding day and the explosive nature of what happens is really best seller material.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Love Hits the Hitmen

Trash

If you like every other word being profanity then you like this book. Listened for about 10-15 minutes and I gave up that was 10 minutes longer than it deserved. If I figure out how to delete it from my library I will do it. I’ll never buy another book by this author

Fantastic! What original storytelling!!!

Pete Simonelli is so incredibly talented as narrator that I only found this author's amazing books because I wanted MORE from this narrator. What a great imagination, and the "Sue saw me trying not to laugh and turned it gangster style" [you'll have to buy the book to understand] is a line that had me doubled up with laughter! Thanks to both author and narrator for a great performance!

Loved it!

I'm glad I bought HOSTILE TAKEOVER before finishing up THE INTERN'S HANDBOOK. I would have hated pausing the action-packed John Lago series!

I highly recommend this series!

Awful! Truly terrible

I couldn't finish this and I liked the Intern book a lot. This is so unbelievable, stupid and full of crap that I couldn't handle it. John is not sexy and the idea that every woman swoons and wants to f**k him is a$$inine. How do I return this garbage?

epic

an absolute roller coaster from start to finish with all the twists and turns that you expect and several that you don't.

Good ...but not better than the first one

outstanding narration and interesting ways to kill people. intern concept is not really main concept.

Loved the first one

Loved the first one! Couldn't finish this one. Very forced, with none of the first book's subtlety.
