Die Trying | Lee Child

so-so

Hard to judge this one fairly, it veered a little farther away from what I liked about the first book. Reacher's still using his head, but he's also having to use guns a lot more. I didn't really want to spend that much time in the company of deluded militia and hyper violent egomaniacs.The tidbits of the FBI investigating were engaging, but, faded out, as did Reacher being a protagonist thinking things through and investigating 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? and having moments of personal reflection/vulnerability rather than just physical or marksman-based skills reacting to the next obstacle. The tradition of a fierce love interest who is conveniently side-lined from participating in much of the action continues. In the hopes that the first book is a better indicator of the series than the second, I'll try the third, 3w

Robotswithpersonality 3/3 but as of now, I don't have enough invested to mind not continuing if the series leans heavier on the action than cerebral mystery/crime solving.
⚠️Assault, attempted SA, mention of SA 3w

Safe to say I'll never think about that phrase the same way again. Probably a lot of new parents already understood that nuance! 😅

Points for sense-memory awakening: totally forgot, I love that smell. 😌

so-so

I don‘t know whether the story telling has changed, or whether my tastes have changed, but the latest Jack Reacher novel fell flat. Written by the senior Child and his younger brother, the novel follows the usual formula: Jack challenged by and besting bad guys, accompanied by, in this case, a comely female cop. The crimes are muddy, and although I finished the book, I wondered why.

I‘ve been a Reacher fan, so I‘ll try again, but reluctantly.

Newest in the Jack Reacher series. I thought it was a good one. The sequence of events was different than the typical sort in the series. The changes were in the same overall vein though. Storyline was good and interesting. I enjoyed it—now just need to wait a year for another one.!
