What's Your Story: Keith

Please share some of your background:
I am a soon-to-be public school educator and administrator. What's important to understand about the fact that I listen to and read these books is that I am dyslexic. And while I am able to navigate text today, for decades it hasn't been so easy. It is only in the last three years that I have been able to read novels of this length and complexity. Having listened to numerous Rapp and other similar books has helped me gain sure footing on the scenes, which allows me to focus on the decoding and the processing of the narrative. It is slow going, but it has become enjoyable thanks to these writers.

When did you start reading Mitch Rapp? 
I didn't read my first Rapp story until about three years ago, but I listened to my first audio version back in 2013.

Which book is your favorite?
I can't identify a favorite, but I am really enjoying listening to Oath Of Loyalty.

Do you have a favorite character?
Irene Kennedy - smart, cool, respected, and feared - all without firing a shot.

If you could be any character in Vince's novels, who would it be and why?
Coleman - the sidekick who is loyal and effective.

Is there anything else you would like to share relating to Mitch Rapp, Vince or Kyle?
Who owns the movie rights? Who would you like to see in the Mitch Rapp role? The Reacher franchise is off to a tough start, as Cruise certainly wasn't the character of Jack Reacher that any devoted reader would have in mind. Ritchson on the Amazon Prime series is a better fit. As for Rapp, you need someone spidery and fit, good-looking without being a pretty boy. A younger Daniel Craig would be a start.
