It seems Morris is the regrettable side-plot of the moment. There usually is one to balance the fast-paced action of Jack Bauer with an excruciatingly slow and exponentially less important story line. I did think it was kind of funny how Milo’s heroics only rub salt in the wounds of Morris. I laughed out loud [...]

It's had a ton of critical praise, and I like it much more than my last foray into the violent novel genre: Blood Meridian.
Been listening to this one a lot, pretty much the whole way through.
