Title: Echo Burning (Jack Reacher) Pdf
“The best mystery I have read all year.”—The Boston Globe “A real dyed-in-the-wool hero…with a wicked sense of right and wrong. A story you can sink your teeth into.”—The Denver Post “As sweltering as the El Paso sun…bottom line: jalapeno-hot suspense.”—People“Constantly escalating tension and a host of sinister villains…a Texas version of Deliverance. Child is a vigorous storyteller, gradually building the suspense to almost unbearable levels.”—The St. Louis Post-Dispatch “Smashingly suspenseful…The kind of daylight-noir setting that Jim Thompson loved. Child builds tension to unbearable extremes.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “An explosive nail-biting climax.”—Library Journal LEE CHILD is a #1 bestselling author worldwide. His debut novel, Killing Floor, won two awards for best first mystery and was nominated for two more. Foreign rights in the Jack Reacher series have been sold in ninety-five countries. The movie franchise stars Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher. Child, a native of England, is a former television director. He lives in New York City, where he is at work on his next Jack Reacher thriller.
Thumbing across the scorched Texas desert, Jack Reacher has nowhere to go and all the time in the world to get there. Cruising the same stretch of two-lane blacktop is Carmen Greer. For Reacher, the lift comes with a hitch. Carmen’s got a wild story to tell—all about her husband, her family secrets, and a hometown that’s purely gothic. She’s also got a plan. Reacher’s part of it. And before the sun sets, this ride could cost them both their lives.
Nowhere near the quality of other Jack Reacher books Let me start by saying I am a HUGE Jack Reacher/Lee Child fan and have been avidly working my way through the entire series from beginning to end. That said, I found this particular book to be far below the usual standards and struggled to get through it. By the end I was skimming through long sections of the book just so I could reach the end, which is extremely unusual for me.So why didn't I like it? A few reasons: First, I found the plot to be extremely simplistic compared to what I am used to from Lee Child. There is really no depth at all to the plot, it is about as shallow a story as you can have and still claim to have a plot. No twists and turns, no in-depth backstory that drove the actions of the characters and nothing original at all. Same goes for the characters, they had about as much depth as a kiddie pool and really added nothing to the story at all. Lastly, for some odd reason even the Jack Reacher character seemed phoned in. Normally I enjoy the various quirks and oddities that make Jack unique, and Lee certainly tried hard to bring in more of these in this book, however they seemed really forced and frankly boring additions to the character that is Jack Reacher.Bottom line, I felt this book read like a book that was an after-thought, as if this was the third installment on a 3 book contract and he used up all his time on the first 2. It will help pass the time on an airplane but is no where near the quality of the other Jack Reacher books I have read so far. Hopefully this is just an anomaly and not a sign of what I can expect in the ensuing books or I will be extremely disappointed.Not my favorite... This is my least favorite Reacher story. I totally disliked the heroine, Carmen...a tacky, tacky piece of work. I should have felt some sympathy for her, but I never did. I was surprised, shocked actually, that Reacher did. Carmen's plotting was so bizarre that it was laughable. Really. The main plot that wasn't evident until fairly late on the book was just as bad. The author, as usual, got the roads right, as I remember them, and the general topography. And the heat. He described that beautifully and accurately. But, he got most other things about Texas wrong. However, the end was pretty satisfying, which is why I gave this 3 stars instead of 2. If you're a Texan, I think you will hate this book, so beware. If you're from the north and have preconceived notions about Texas, you'll probably enjoy it.Whatever..A very good Jack Reacher novel Reviews are funny. I often read negative reviews and think, "what was this guy expecting?'". After you've read a few of Lee Child's Jack Reached novels, you begin to know what to expect. The man gets out of a bus or a car that picked him up hitchhiking in some remote spot in the midwest or the South, and immediately stumbles into some major crime or conspiracy. There is a vulnerable girl involved, and he has to help her. I've come to like the dialog, the banter. Reacher is a master of facts, as if he memorized the almanac or Wikipedia. And he always kills the bad guy in the end. Personally, I enjoy these stories and Tom Cruise's excellent interpretation on the big screen. Keep them coming...it'll be a sad day when I 've read the last Jack Reacher book!
