ryno23 's review for:
Better off Dead
by Lee Child
SO much better than the first Lee/Andrew collaboration. There were a couple of small things, though.
For some reason, they started the book describing Reacher as "The Stranger". Then, they went back to the beginning of the story and described what happened up to that point, and continued on with the book. Was it a key point of the book? Mmm, pretty much, but there was no reason not to just begin with the beginning of the story.
And I will have to check, but I think that there were several areas with too many descriptions of items in rooms (mostly). Maybe I have just forgotten, but there was just too much detail about minute items that did not further the story, and that seemed unusual.
Otherwise, it was in the much more standard Reacher book format -- walks/rides into town, finds someone (as in most cases, a lady) that needs help, finds a town that has some odd things going on, and is determined to right all the wrongs.
The concerns from the previous book -- no, Reacher did not have his own cell phone. But he did pick up some from the bad guys and used them. And, no, he didn't own a car. He found one and drove it around town a little bit, that's all.
A solid 4.5 story.
