Keeping
a reader engrossed and engaged for nearly 600 pages is not an easy job. But
then neither is being a writer.
Lee
Child, in this novel, takes you on a journey filled with twists and turns, full
of surprises, that you find yourself turning the pages faster and faster as you
are reading. His elaborate descriptions about the landscape of the sparsely
populated Echo county of Texas shows his talent as a writer as well as his wide
range of vocabulary. I could almost feel the burning heat of the desert, hear
the humming of insects and smell the fragrance in the air. This book is a
thriller which will keep you thrilled until the end.
Jack
Reacher makes one hell of a protagonist. He is intuitive, smart, calculative,
and shrewd. He may be a vagabond, but he is out there to help people who need
his help and kill people who need to be killed. And he does both these things
with such detachment, one wonders if he is really a human or a robot. Well, he
sure does have arms of steel!
Looking
forward to read more of his adventures.
