Killing Floor by Lee Child
3.0
It is painfully obvious that this is the first in a series of books.
I strayed from my usual reading pleasures and decided to go with a mystery, or action adventure... or what ever in hell you call this genre. Ive seen both of the Jack Reacher films, and Enjoyed them for the action roms that they were, so I was intrigued to see if the books were any better.
All together the story was finely done. Plot points were well spaced, the game wasnt given away early on, and overall the characters were likable.
My only gripe is the repetativeness of the prose. Child has the awful habit of explaining something in rich detail, and then in the next line, expalining it again.
Kinda kills the mood of the piece.
I am debating on whether or not to purchase the second book in the series to see if that issue is resolved.
