This is a lovely, funny little book.
I read it back when it first came out and just re-read it. Its a fast read, and the summary above gives the basics of the plot.
In terms of drawbacks, it reads like a movie. This is not a bad thing, but it shows. Keep it in mind, park your brain a bit and enjoy.
Otherwise, its a lot of fun involving the misadventures of one Bob Dillon as he is mistaken for a professional assassin, just as he tries to get his environmentally safe, non-toxic pest control business up and running. From there he interacts with Klaus, the number one assassin in the world, the CIA and a broker for assassins.
A neat vignette here, similar to another one that turns up in Organ Grinders, is a marketing pitch that as an MBA I give high marks, and might just work...
Four out of 5 stars.
