Trappola mortale

This isn't a review, because I just started reading this book, but I couldn't help sharing my irritation. I like Lee Child's storytelling skills, and Jack Reacher is a fun character to read about. Unfortunately, his prose is like fingernails on a chalkboard. Most irritating of all, it's not irredeemab Leggi tutto

Somewhere on Lee Child’s desk there is a formula that looks something like this: 1. Remind the reader that Jack Reacher is an ex-MP drifter; he’s tall and strong and dangerous – a tough guy’s tough guy, damn near bullet proof. 2. Through no fault of his own, and without looking for trouble, Reacher ge Leggi tutto

My reading record for Lee Child’s Reacher series hasn’t been stellar – The first book in the series, and the second of the two I had read, was a dreadful regurgitation of genre clichés and one of the worst books I’ve ever read.

The investigation was incredibly intense and thrilling. It kept me wondering and guessing almost up until the end. The author did it to me again! On th Leggi tutto

I'll be honest with you..I enjoy reading thriller books but I don't know how to write reviews for them so if you're looking for an extensive analysis of this book I'm sorry to disappoint you. I've read second half of the book in one sitting so it is suffice to say that it was very interesting. Not mu Leggi tutto

Tripwire is the third novel in the Jack Reacher series. For those who are not familiar with this character, Reacher is an-ex major in Military Police of the US Army. After losing his job due to downsizing, he leads the life of a vagabond, never living in the same place for long. In fact, he has gone Leggi tutto

3-star. My somewhat lacklustre review follows: This could have been 4 stars, if not for the repetitive and excessively overwritten sections. Wow, the prose has improved a lot since books 1 and 2. More economical, better rhythm. ... but a different rookie mistake: Changing viewpoint between Reacher and Leggi tutto
