Tripwire (Jack Reacher, No. 3)

After having read the first two novels I was extremely keen to read Tripwire.
I wasn't disappointed, but did notice a BIG difference between this and the first two novels. This book was more like a bedtime story, easier to read when you are tired, kind of novel.
Not so intense and Reacher isn't really the main character in this novel.
I'm looking forward to seeing if the next one is more like the first.

Not only is Reacher the toughest guy in American fiction, Child has created another detestable evil character in Hobie. Hook is one of Child's most creative devils. The story easily jumps from the laid back Keys to the mean streets of NYC. Definitely one of the better of the Reacher series, a hard statement to write.

In, Tripwire, a tale of intrigue complicated by a military cover-up, Lee Child pulls the reader along with enough suspense to keep the pages turning, and the trip is enjoyable. However, the book drags in a few places, which could be fixed by tighter writing. Additionally, the hero, Jack Reacher, steps out of character now and then, as do some of the other characters, but all in all, it's a good read.

As far as thrillers go this was very good. The characters were deep and enthralling, keeping your interest all the way through. There was enough suspense to keep you turning the pages, and plenty of action. If you enjoy Lee Child`s Jack Reacher books then this will please you. I`m a series fan and enjoy Child and Michael Connelly books immensely, if you like that kind of thriller read the `Soft Target` books by Conrad Jones. They are unputdownable!! Back to the review, ten out of ten.

I just started this book and it has hold on me already. I like Lee Child's books because they are very absorbing and unpredictable. (What's the use of reading a book if you can figure it out yourself from the beginning/)
