A review by rembrandt1881
The Sentinel by Lee Child, Andrew Child
4.0
I did read some reviews of the book which said that the new co-author Andrew child was a bit wordy at times in opposition to how Jack Reacher normally is as a character. It was right, there were a few points in the book where there were a lot of extra phrases to explain what Reacher was thinking and planning. One of the hallmarks of the series is the economy of the writing and how it plays into how we perceive Jack.
Reacher is a character who is thinks but moves quickly when the time comes and it did seem as though technically speaking, he did too much talking in opportune moments where Reacher just acts. However, these things I think can be worked on as Andrew gets more comfortable with writing the character because the story and plot are solid Reacher material. There isn't a whole host of things to talk about and fuss with there. It may be a little overwrought but it isn't too egregious when it comes to Jack.
