Kerri_M | 790 comments Just finished Better off Dead by Lee Child and apparently co-authored by son Andrew Child.

I am resistant to "co-authored" books, and to another writer taking over a series previously written by someone else. It kind of feels like someone is cheating on me! So while this book followed the formula, to me it felt like there was something missing. Possibly all in my mind :)

How do others feel about this scenario? Should they do this, or just let Reacher (and Spenser, and all the others) jump on a bus or catch a ride and let that be that?

I enjoyed this one Kerri, Andrew is Lee's brother as far as I recall. I'll keep reading the series at this stage anyway :)

PattyMacDotComma | 820 comments No Country for Old Men by Cormac McCarthy is only for seasoned readers. Simple, direct, and violent, but thought-provokingly tender in places. Phenomenal writer.
