I appreciate your comments and hope you will make further comments.<br /><br />I had been wondering whether to look for one of his earlier of one of his later books. After reading your comment I will not fret on where in the series I next read a Jack Reacher book.Bill Selneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268006369157307593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-36689124284614122832012-02-01T21:50:35.769-06:002012-02-01T21:50:35.769-06:00i've been enjoying your reviews.
lee child...i've been enjoying your reviews.<br /><br />lee child's series is one of the few that, in my opinion, can be enjoyed in random order. he even breaks away from the timeline to write books that occurred much earlier in time.<br /><br />i agree with you - excellent escapist fiction. a great example of books where you know exactly what you're going to get and you look forward to it and enjoy it, even though it's not remarkably different from what you've already read. you anticipate what's coming and that anticipation is half the enjoyment.Lorinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-75212715967582745772011-12-10T12:14:19.442-06:002011-12-10T12:14:19.442-06:00Yvette: Thanks for the comment.

Is it possible to read a series in two different directions?

I'm also looking forward to Santa bringing me the latest, THE AFFAIR. <br /><br />My previous Reacher favorite: PERSUADER.<br /><br />I've read all the Reacher books and congratulate you, Bill, on discovering them.<br /><br />Great review, by the way. :)Yvettehttp://yvettecandraw.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-40932204627498739492011-12-08T21:22:15.399-06:002011-12-08T21:22:15.399-06:00Margot: I had been thinking about going forward wi...Margot: I had been thinking about going forward with the series but your comment has led me to plan to go looking for earlier novels.

My personal opinion (so feel free to differ) is that the early novels (e.g. <i>The Killing Floor</i>) are better; they're "fresher" and one gets to know the Reacher character. So I hope you'll read some of the early ones as you explore Child's work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
