Heather Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 These are two books of Lee Childs that I have not red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I've only read on Lee Child novel, Die Trying. I actually bought it out of blind luck. I read the back, it sounded good and i liked the cover, so i got it. I had no idea that it was a series of some sort. It was a very good novel, but i think i liked it for the reasons that weren't key to the series. I hated the Jack Reacher character. So bland, so Bond-like. What i did like was the antagonists in the novel and the idea of gaining their Independence. I thought it was a very well thought out idea. I doubt i'll read another Lee Child novel. The character of Jack Reacher is just so invisible to me, he has nothing intresting about him. That's just my opinion, i'm sure many think otherwise and that's fair enough.

Loopyloo100 Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 (edited) Hi Jordan I tend to agree with you about Jack Reacher even though I've read a few. I've read Die Trying and there was one passage in the book that really had me gripped - it lasted about 5 pages - I just wondered if you would know what I'm referring to and if it had the same affect on you? (Don't want to add any spoilers!) Edited June 23, 2008 by Michelle no need to quote post above :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Hmm...it's been a year since i've read it. Cannot really remember any specific parts. Not wanting to spoil anyone, PM me the part you mean, see if jogs my memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceinwenn Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I've read every Lee Child novel going. I love Jack Reacher, but I do wonder how much longer he can write these books without them all becoming a re-hash of previous books. His last one, Nothing to Lose, was a great one & the "mystery" in the book was completely unexpected! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Severnlad Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I too like Jack Reacher and whilst I haven't yet read all of Lee Childs books I have every intention of doing so. I also receive regular updates from his official website www.leechild.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 My sister lent me a Lee Child book a few months ago. Can't remember what it was called, the story involved a serial killer that targeted former female soldiers, and the FBI were involved. Enjoyed the book well enough and have bought my sister a couple of his other books as she loved it and it was so different from her ususal choices. Having read some of the comments here, I think I would be tempted to read some of the early Jack Reacher books, but I don't think it's something I should overload on!!!!!

Charm Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I've heard Lee Child is good but haven't read anything by him. Do they need to be read in any particular order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexiepiper Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 They are a series so probably meant to go in order, but the one I've read (Bad Luck & Trouble) it didn't matter that you hadn't read previous, I haven't got around to The Hard Way yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceinwenn Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I've read them all & no, they most definately do not need to be read in any particular order. Reacher is the main character in all of the books & that is where it stops. He is the only character that appears in more than one book & none of the books absolutely has to be read to understand any of the others. You would enjoy them, I think, Charm!

supergran71 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I've heard Lee Child is good but haven't read anything by him. Do they need to be read in any particular order? I have read quite a lot of Lee Child books and try to keep up with them as he writes them. They are excellent stories, well written and pacey, so you are on the edge of your seat sometimes. I recommend Esther. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Hello People. I'm new to this forum. I've read a number of the Jack Reacher novels since I first picked up 'Killing Floor' last year. I had avoided Lee Child for the very silly reason that I had read the blurb on the back and said to myself "This sounds terribly clich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
