Search - Bad Luck and Trouble (Jack Reacher, Bk 11)

This was a new author to me. I'm very impressed with his writing and would compare it to James Patterson's Cross series.

Farfetched and fun. A book you enjoy but don't quite know why when looking back on it. Lee Child's plots and the antics of Jack Reacher seem to grow more over the top with each novel.

3 stars out of 5

This is the fifth book in the "Jack Reacher" series that I have read, and I was NOT disappointed. Every one of the books is a completely separate story; you don't have to read them in order - and although there may be one or two sentences in the entire book that you'll say "oh ya, I remember that from another story" -- it will not at all leave you feeling like you missed something even if this is the first book you've read in the series.

Even though Jack Reacher is the main character, there is excellent character development of the 'supporting players' as well. At the end of every chapter I kept saying "ok I'll just read one more chapter and then put it down". Didn't happen - I just could not put this one down until I was finished with it.

For some reason, I've read a number of the Reacher books out of order, but let me say that it doesn't seem to matter. Lee Child keeps you on the edge of your seat and doesn't let go. An other great read by Mr. Child!

Excellent book

What? Reacher questioning his fancy-free life style? Great action, newly questioning Reacher. Interesting look at his old team. Child is a fun author for action & adventure.
