I Am the Weapon
I Am the Weapon | Allen Zadoff
8 posts | 12 read | 3 to read
Previously published under the title Boy Nobody They needed the perfect assassin. Boy Nobody is the perennial new kid in school, the one few notice and nobody thinks much about. He shows up in a new high school in a new town under a new name, makes a few friends and doesn't stay long. Just long enough for someone to die -- of "natural causes." Mission accomplished, Boy Nobody disappears, moving on to the next target. But when The Program assigns him to the mayor of New York City, things change. Somewhere deep inside, Boy Nobody is somebody: the kid he once was; the teen who wants normal things, like a real home and a girlfriend; a young man who wants out. And who just might want those things badly enough to sabotage The Program's mission. In this action-packed series debut, author Allen Zadoff pens a page-turning thriller that is as thought-provoking as it is gripping, introducing an utterly original and unforgettable antihero.

Pickpick

If it's not obvious already, when I read a book I have some form of writing pad near by so when the words jump out at me... I quote them. It's how I sell my love for a book, and Boy Nobody (the first book of a trilogy) is worth selling? So I'll definitely be back for the sequel: I AM THE MISSION.

"Danger focuses the mind. No danger, no focus."

'"Chance can be your friend or your enemy," Mother used to say. "Make it a friend."'

"I think of promises that were made. The lies I was told. No, I correct myself. Not lies. Promises I misunderstood. I was young then. How could I have known?"

"Ironically, it was what they were looking for. It showed them the level of character they were seeking, the list of personality characteristics appropriate to a potential soldier. Intensity. Black or white thinking. Stubbornness. Allegiance without regard. All useful qualities from their perspective. They took my allegiance and transformed it into something that would serve them. Serve The Program..."

"There's another trick that I learned from the people who trained me. Don't diffuse power; concentrate it. Get it too close together, where its effectiveness is reduced. That's the trick I will use."

Too dramatic and kind of corny. Not a realistic plot
