Boring and Unthrilling
|
|
I've read every Lee Child and some of them such as The Visitor or Killing Floor have amazing suspense and excitement. This one is totally pedestrian with no suspense at all. My advice, read something else and save some money!

Where does Jack Reacher go next?
|
|
I have read and enjoyed all the Jack Reacher novels, but like the other reviewers was very disappointed with "Nothing to Lose". Whilst all the plots have pushed the boudaries of plausibility, the structure and pace of the writing has always kept me interested. This time I felt no spark at all and got the impression that the author was as bored writing the story as I was reading it. There is also the problem of maintaining Jack's credibility as a hard man and magnet to women as he approaches 50. With his dreadful diet and lack of regular exercise, he is getting to the stage where bar room brawling might best be practised in flashback. Like most Reacher fans I would like to see the character developed. The team approach in "Bad luck and Trouble" did work well and there must be scope to change Jack's life style to meet the passage of time without him losing the raw edge that makes him what he is.

As with many successfull authors Lee Child is now taking his readers for granted.If he continues on this route he will soon loose his following

Terrible

This was the slowest, most boring plot I`ve read in a long time. I am a Reacher fan so I finished the book, but if it was anyone else but Lee Child I would have put it in the bin.

No where near the best Reacher book
|

I am a massive Lee Child fan, and have enjoyed every one that I have read so far, until this one. I bought it as a buy one get one cheaper book offer that amazon linked with Soft Target, by Conrad Jones. It was a good job because this book was slow and almost boring, which for Reacher novels is unheard of. The plot is weak, all build up and no umph, ioo page into it still nothing had happened of any note. May be it`s time to retire Reacher, he`s getting tired. (The other book was brilliant, I`m reading the sequel Soft Target 2 `Tank`, great stuff!!)
