Tommy has been recommending me to read Lee Child’s Jack Reacher book series. At first when I look at the name – Lee Child. Not a very interesting name. Haven’t heard of him before. No excitement. The first impression that I’ve got is that probably Mr. Child writes heart-broken type of stories. Then I look at the book cover – boring and dull. It doesn’t attract me to spend my dollars and cents on it.
But once I begin to sit down to read ‘The Enemy’ – hey it’s not that bad. It’s very good. It’ an easy-to-read & pick-up-and-put-down kind of books. I love the way he built up the suspense, the momentum really pulls you to delve into it more, but the ending was a bit flat in ‘The Enemy’. However, ‘One Shot’ looks like a crowd pleaser.
To be honest, this is my first time I’m exploring a military character and Reacher is just so laid-back; yet developed, credible and kick-your-ass-kind of personality. At times I find his one-liners pretty sexy as well :) So far the author has yet to really describe how he actually looks like except that he is very tall, very good at what he does and very irresistible to women. I imagine Reacher might be a bit like Brad Pitt or Keanu Reeves – in terms of their classic, striking, rough masculine good looks.
I have been sneezing randomly and quite a lot too. Probably there are people who are bitching about me behind my back :) 2 days of absence, Seth, Celtic and Wyatt – they can put their heads together and come out with a plot and trust me, they are great bitchers too :) I have seen their work! Have been receiving SMS updates from Damian, - outburst, exchanging of harsh words, arguments etc etc while I was away – I missed the grand show :(
