The Affair (Jack Reacher, #16)
by Lee Child
by Lee Child
I pre-ordered this book and am dying to start but I promised myself I would get all my work done first. Don't worry, I'm sure I will be reviewing by this weekend!
Warning - I love all his books and can't imagine this one being any different!
Update: Well, I finished reading this book and had to think hard about what to write for a review. I love Jack Reacher and I love all of Lee Child's Books but is this the beginning of the end? Is Child tired? Yes, Reacher was Reacher in this book but it all felt very forced. I don't want to give anything away and the mystery part was still so good I didn't want to stop reading but the way Child gets there is too...I can't even think of the right word but things just happen that don't work for me. It felt like he wanted the story to go a certain way and nothing was going to stop that. Didn't matter if it made sense.
Anyway, yes , I was disappointed, but in the end, (I read this next part on someone else's review) even a bad Reacher book is good.
