I also thought the plot of Die Trying was much better than Killing Floor. He tends to go more for precision and math’s in his description whereas I tend to prefer the inventive and creative ones, but that is just my personal preference. However, that being said, his writing style still doesn’t really do anything for me, and I am not that keen on it. (Probably because as Nisha suggested: Repetitions of any nature will become exhausting.) His sentences in Die Trying however, are far more varied, and although he still has a preference for short sentences it is no longer detracting from the story he is trying to tell.
While it made sense in theory, I found it somewhat irritating. Previously he used an endless array of short sentences with little variance in an attempt to create tension and a military precision feel, that linked back to his lead character. For starters, his writing style is far more readable. So after reading the first 100 pages or so I was very pleased to see that Lee Child had already fixed several of the complaints I had about the first. Those of you that have been following my blog for any length of time will probably have noticed my qualms with the thriller genre, as well as the author’s previous book. I approached this book feeling positive, but also wary. But at their remote destination, will raw courage be enough to overcome the hopeless odds?Īgain I won’t bother expanding on the plot with this book, it’s thriller genre means it’s best not to know more than the blurb.
(To read my review of the first book from the Jack Reacher series, K illing Floor click here)Īnd turns to see a handgun aimed at his stomach.Ĭhained in a dark van racing across America, Reacher doesn’t know why he’s been kidnapped. Overall Impression: A solid book, better than its predecessor.
