Lee Child never ceases to amaze

Lee Child and especially the Jack Reacher series are the best adventure action filled fictional read out there! I have read all of the Jack Reacher books and I would recommend this for anyone who likes the "eye for an eye" philosophy. No avoiding conflicts but taking it head on.

An exciting and entertaining read

Lee Child is one of my favorite mystery authors and he sure knows how to capture my attention..I couldn't put "Die Trying" down once I started reading it. The story is exciting and entertaining. It's a great book, and I love Jack Reacher. The nice guy, who's not like the guy next door. Highly recommend this one.

Review of book purchase

The book arrived in good condition and in a timely manner. Took about two weeks.

Another Reacher Fairy Tale

I have to agree with another reviewer that called this a fairy tale for men. Reacher takes on powers of nearly mythic proportions in this novel. He can shoot the world's most powerful sniper rifle with an effectiveness never before seen. Every woman loves him and every man respects him. Well all the men that don't want him dead. Yet, even they respect him enough to keep him alive when he is obviously a threat.

I don't want to sound too negative. The pacing is good and the dialogue doesn't seem forced or riddled with clichés. Most of the necessary characters are fleshed out in decent manner. There is also a good bit of suspense regarding certain sub plots. Lee Child uses the devices of writing well and comes up with a decent read.

Fun Read

The review of Lee Child's books keep saying that the books are getting better. I decided to start the series at the beginning and to work my way through. Die Trying is number 2 and I do not see any improvement. In fact I think that this book is a step back. Others continue to summarize the plot so I will not do repeat the effort.

I found in Die Trying several long segments that were boring. The truck ride was never ending and really did not enhance the story. In addition, the sniper scenes were overly technical. Lastly as in many thrillers when the writer begins to discuss politics it is too unbelievable.

Putting all that aside, once it is accepted that Jack Reacher is super at all that he does and the reader suspends his knowledge of what is possible the book is very enjoyable.

I said in my first review of a Jack Reacher book this is the closest to 24 I have ever experienced in print. I will continue going forward with another installment in a few weeks.
