A review by calebgodard
Better off Dead by Lee Child

4.0

In Better Off Dead, Reacher is fast and aggressive, and the book is enjoyable from page 1. This is WAY better than The Sentinel. I was a little irritated after the first chapter because I thought I could see where the book was going for the next 70 pages but I was wrong and it was great. The fight scenes are tremendous. I don't like the big reveal and thought Reacher was too obsessed with small details and that he made a lot of dumb decisions. He's still smart but his IQ seems a few points lower. It takes him longer to figure out things.

I am happy I bought and read the book. The "good old days" have returned, even if they're a little different. I was hesitant about continuing the series after The Sentinel, but I will definitely keep reading these now.
