It makes one wonder, thus allows one to keep reading all of the books.Mark Frystakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17117928465942785431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3203470618550347591.post-84261793682163810072013-05-01T20:34:32.446+01:002013-05-01T20:34:32.446+01:00I don't think of Lee's writing as 'mec...I don't think of Lee's writing as 'mechanistic' in any kind of way. It always amazes me how much the stories draw me in, even though there is typically not that much true action until the climax of the storeis. <br /><br />Reacher is one of the most interesting and beloved characters to come out of the past ten years of thrillers, so I think it's a bit short-sighted to imply Lee's stories have zero focus on character development. <br /><br />In fact, Jack Reacher is easily one of the most readily identifiable fictional character of the this century, maybe he's second to Harry Potter, but for sure, it's a close second at this stage. Harry's over, Reacher's still going strong.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08997745795964099843noreply@blogger.com
