Colonel Cornelius Christopher is with Military Intelligence, and he handles Reacher well: he lets him spew! Fiction or not, this is too much of a "superhero" build and exposure. In fact, in any script for a decent movie, in screenplay writing, or creative writing, or any planned role-play scenario, there is a very important tool named "character sheet" part of the "character design" where the creator of the character that will soon take shape, sets a list of qualities and traits of his future character and same time a list of weaknesses of flaws of the same character. Not doing so, is a drastic violation of the "character design" or "role-play" gender and style, leading to the so-called "Godmoding" that is not so well received by any and all serious creators and authors.Cleaning the Gold (May 2019) Lee and Karin Slaughter co-wrote this story which pairs Reacher with Slaughter’s Will Trent.

He's not just physically big, or I should say huge, in great shape, with a dominant presence and heavy fist, but he's also smart, sharp, always able to identify hidden clues, always able to make great deductions that will lead to finding the ideal solution to solve any type of problem, always winning any kind of confrontation, mental or physical, and always being the best among the best, with no flaws just plain old superhero on our side always winning against any villain. What can I say, it's a Reacher...and he figures it out so easily while I'm sitting here totally stupid. I liked how Child informed us of Reacher's character with his mouthing off to Christopher, his observational skills in figuring out what Christopher's hand movements mean. Without being an info dump, it tells us that Reacher is very good at his job. Too Much Time (October 2018) was originally published in the 2018 Reacher anthology, No Middle Name. What is wrong in all this picture, in all those books, is the fact this guy is like a Superman, not just a super-hero, but in a very exaggerated way a Superman type of hero, no matter of other conditions, no matter his age, no matter of the environment, no matter what, this guy is the best in everything, is invincible, with no weakness and with plenty of qualities and traits.Alive in Shape and Color (December 2017) Lee’s story is “Pierre, Lucien & Me” based on Auguste Renoir’s Bouquet of Chrysanthemums (1881).

Under suspicion are four young senior ranked female officers one of which is believed to be the culprit. But which one? Guy Walks Into a Bar (June 7, 2009); prequel to Gone Tomorrow includes Reacher, published in The New York Times.Well, in my case I am a bit conflicted about this author, about Lee Child, in the sense I really wanted to like him. I am not entirely sure why I want to like him, maybe because he's European in origin living for a long time in the US, like me, maybe because he's writing about events and places happening in the US, maybe because he's looking at the US culture and traditions through the eyes of a European native and translates what most Americans don't really see or feel, maybe because he has the support of the great Steven King and few others in the same league, or maybe because he's writing action, suspense and thriller books that supposedly are a recipe for success, or who knows for what reason, but I really wanted to like him. But I can't, there is something wrong in his books and I'll try to explain it to the best of my abilities as a simple reader. It encompasses everything I love about Reacher - his cool assessment of people, his methodical and logical reactions to danger and his quiet humour. Watchlist (2010) Print edition of previously audio-only serialized novels The Chopin Manuscript (2007) and The Copper Bracelet (2009). Child writes the blandest, most uninspired and workmanlike prose (prose is barely the word to describe it really, let’s look at the label as a placeholder) I’ve ever read. Actually that’s not true, the last writer I read who wrote like he were writing inter-departmental memos in a law firm was Tom Clancy who also had a penchant for the military.
