Alexander L. Belikoff reviewed Better off Dead by Lee Child
Review of 'Better off Dead' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Another October, another Reacher story. The style has hardly changed. Same short simple sentences. Don't expect sequence of tenses. Or any other sophisticated language apparati. Same outrageous plot structure. Reacher cometh. He stumbles upon injustice. Fifteen bodies and ten horribly maimed villain's agents later, the justice is served. Depth of characters is razor thin. Familiarity with the topics discussed is laughable. But we are not here for Faulkner - it is exactly that predictability that makes this a comfortable (and somewhat exciting) reading. If you like Reacher series books for what they are, get this one and you won't be disappointed (well, you most likely have gotten it already).
