calebgodard 's review for:

The Sentinel by Lee Child
3.0

Ohhhhh boy. There was hope but it was short lived. This book is different in tone and style which is fine. But REACHER IS DIFFERENT WHICH IS NOT FINE. And I don't know why the authors chose to make this one gloomy and depressing. Thankfully, he returns to form a bit in the next book so this is not permanent.

The villain is AWFUL. Goodness that's unoriginal and boring. It's painful to read because the villains are so uninteresting. There are some interesting bad guys but goodness the rest are terrible. I can't think of enough synonyms to "bad" to describe it.

I gave this book three stars because it's the first collab between Lee Child and his brother Andrew, so I have grace for that. But yeah don't feel bad about skipping this one.
