![]() Grisham has written better books and I’ll spend my time reading those. LaVoy (the narrator) began reading the acknowledgements.Ģ stars. I literally threw my phone (luckily into the couch) when Ms. As far as I’m concerned with that ending, justice was NOT served. Grisham, but this was so much more like a lecture than a book (at least a good portion of it.) Sorry, I didn’t take notes, professor, so that will explain why I flunked the test. Is this a story about a daring heist, or how to write a book when you have writer’s block? I mean, thanks for the advice Mr.It’s just eh, some guys stole some manuscripts, then blah, then blah, Mercer is recruited to be a spy, then blah, then blah, her bad job at being a spy, her moral dilemma, then blah blah, and Bruce’s odd relationship life, then blah, then the ending. The plot wasn’t anything WOW! in my opinion.Or maybe I was just bored with the story? (This is a whole week later after I initially started, and that’s a long time for me. But, I don’t feel like she really put in any effort. She’s constantly complaining about how hard it is to write, and I get that (being a wannabe author, I totally get that). Telling us about the heist, its aftermath, then about Bruce’s history…. There was some, and then it was all narration. Not enough dialogue in the first half.However, the story, especially the part before we meet Mercer, is slow. She’s the first person to ever penetrate my strict ‘No Audiobooks because I hate the narrators voice’ policy. The crimes within Patterson’s books mirrors some of Lee Child’s books, if a dark theme is your theme of choice. Both writers create legal thrillers and have a similar pacing style.Īnother writer that could be compared to Lee Child, would be James Patterson. Lee Child’s writing is raw and extremely well written.Īlthough not many writers can compare to his writing style, I would recommend John Grisham’s Camino Island, as this also begins in the Florida state. Tripwire is a great read for someone who wishes to get into reading without the flowery language that can often cloud a great narrative. Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys action and adventure in novels. The specificality of his writing appears to be exactly what the reader needs to allow themselves to be immersed in Reacher’s world. Child’s knowledge of guns and, in particular, Fighter planes, are so accurate that you would almost expect him to have flown a Fighter jet or have used a few of the guns he describes so well. One of the most impressive elements of this book, is Lee Child’s attention to detail. As a writer myself, I find his use of structure intriguing how he creates tension and suspense with no nonsense language is mesmerizing. This is the first book in the Reacher series I’ve read and it definitely won’t be my last. The pace of both narrative scenes quicken at the same time until reader is found racing to the finish line with Reacher on the lookout. The book alternates between Reacher and Chester’s situation, in order to set the scene for the reader that will eventually overlap these narratives together. ![]() Tripwire follows Reacher in the hopes of finding a missing soldier whilst the reader is simultaneously observing Chester Stone’s lifestyle and failing business. Tripwire focuses mostly on Jack Reacher’s army life and what his possible future may look like. After retracing Costello’s movements, Reacher finds himself returning to his army roots, in search for a missing soldier. The book begins in a sunny Key West, when a man called Costello is looking for Reacher. Tripwire by Lee Child, Paperback, Transworld Publishers, 544 pages, £8.99, Waterstones.
