Challenge: 50 Books discussion

#1: Bad Luck And Trouble. A good Jack Reacher book. I really liked the Neagley and Dixon characters. Strong women.

#2: Kill Shot. This was a nice prequel to the Rapp series. Fast paced, easy reading.

#3: The Hard Way. Another fast-paced, well written thriller from Lee Child.

#4: Die Trying. Outstanding Jack Reacher book. Militia, FBI, the president, and Jack Reacher thrown into the mix like a graceful bull in a china shop.

#5: Running Blind. A mystery to the very end. Reacher and the FBI's finest team up to catch a camo paint killer. Fun read!

#6. Without Fail. This was another fast paced Reacher novel. I gave it only 3 stars because there were inconsistencies in the logic several places in the book. It should have been read more closely by an editor before it was published. I liked the Froehlich character. And I always like Neagley.

#7. The Enemy. Jack Reacher from when he was in the Army. I really liked this book.

#8. Killing Floor. The first Reacher book, and Lee Child did a great job. I can't say anything else without adding a spoiler tag. The Introduction is worth reading, because it explains how Lee Child came to write this series.

#9. A Wanted Man. This was a fast, fast read. I think he could have fleshed it out by about 100 pages. I would have liked to see more character development, especially of the women federal agents. And I would like to know why he was headed to Virginia originally.

#10. 61 Hours. A very well written Reacher book. Almost all takes place in frigid South Dakota in the winter. I just put on an extra sweatshirt and read it.

#11. Worth Dying For. An excellent follow-up to 61 Hours and lead-in to A Wanted Man.

#12. Nothing to Lose. All kinds of word play between the neighboring towns of Hope and Despair. I loved it.

#13. Persuader. The reason for the title comes late in the book, but that seems fine. This is the first time I noticed Child's opposition to the NRA - interesting. All in all, it was another good Reacher book. I like the way he disposed of the worst bad guy.

#14. Echo Burning. I liked the descriptions of the Pecos area. Of course, Reacher took care of the bad guys and saved the oppressed. Good book.

#15. Gone Tomorrow

How did you ffinish out the year
