By Lee Child

This
book review is a promise kept. Some time ago on my old author's blog
I took Lee Child's name in vain. A sister had told me that my main
character from my first book reminded her somewhat of Lee Child's
iconic Jack Reacher, so I wrote a brief comparison based on
information I was able find on the Internet. At that time I did say
that I intended to read one of his books. The comparison I wrote is
available here:

I found
this book at the local library. I have regular access there so I may
review more books from that source. I was in no way disappointed by
the book. It was a great read. I can see where people may see some
similarities between my character and his.
Jack
Reacher gets picked up as a hitchhiker and get embroiled in a mess
involving the CIA, the FBI and some bad guys. It's a great story and
I won't spoil it by giving it away. If you like thrillers and
suspense I doubt you'll be disappointed.
As a
writer I noticed a lot of repetitive sentence structure. Not
something your average reader would notice. I'll give the author
credit though. It appears to be technique rather than stylistic flaw.
I give the book full marks and a hearty recommendation.
