THRILLER REVIEW: Worth Dying For - Lee Child

Release Date: 30/09/10

BOOK BLURB:

Has Jack Reacher finally met his match? 61 Hours ended with Reacher trapped in a desperate situation from which escape seemed impossible. Even for him. Was that really the end of the road for the maverick loner?


REVIEW:

Child is back with an explosive offering that will more than satisfy the many Reacher fans out there which picks up from where 61 hours left off. It’s got a key set up and one that when the touch paper is lit really is on a fast track to destruction for which the reader will have to hold onto. It’s beautifully constructed, it’s got great additional characters and Reacher is the type of hero that every reader wishes they could be at some point in their lives. A real gem of a title and one that clearly demonstrates why Lee is top of his game. Finally, each title in this series can be read as a standalone (except for this and 61 hours which have to be read together), but why waste the pleasure that each book can bring you. Start from the beginning and enjoy the Roller-Coaster series from start to finish. You won’t regret it.

THRILLER REVIEW: 61 Hours - Lee Child

BOOK BLURB:

Get ready for the most exciting count-down of your life hour number sixty-one. Icy winter in South Dakota. A bus skids and crashes in a gathering storm. On the back seat: Jack Reacher, hitching a ride to nowhere. A life without baggage has many advantages. And disadvantages too, like facing the arctic cold without a coat. Hour number thirty-one. A small town is threatened by sinister forces. One brave woman is standing up for justice. If she's going to live to testify, she'll need help from a man like Reacher. Because there's a killer coming for her. Hour number zero. Has Reacher finally met his match? He doesn't want to put the world to rights. He just doesn't like people who put it to wrongs.


REVIEW:

With a grandfather who is addicted to Lee Child’s writing, this offering has been one that had to be read pretty quickly to prevent what some would term as reacquisition to the relevant authority. What unfurls within is a reasonable offering from Lee and one that will definitely entertain his fans the world over. However unlike the other tales in the series it leaves the reader on tenderhooks and a long wait for the next offering. Whilst this isn’t his best Jack Reacher tale it is certainly not his worst and makes this not only ideal holiday reading material but an adventure to sink your teeth into.
