Advantages: well driven, intense storyline, page turner

Disadvantages: all of lee child's books have a tendency to be very similar to one another!

'The Hard Way' fits well into Lee Child's writing style. It is classic Jack Reacher, although I only know this with hindsight...It happened to be the first Child novel I read, and it was a true page turner...

I am interested in American culture, both present and past, and this book conveys both perfectly. It is surprisingly well written, and the plot is well motivated as are the characters. I have now read three 'Jack Reacher' books written by Child and I think that his character development (our of the army, into nomadic crime fighter) is genuinely interesting and reminiscent of Jack Bauer in 24. (In fact, if you like this style of story telling you are bound to enjoy 'The Hard Way.'

I won't get tied up now into plot structure and the like, but suffice to say that I have been very impressed by how easily Lee Child's novels are to pick up, and I would suggest you pick up any one of them. Like me, you won't regret it and are sure to go back and buy another once you've finished.

Summary: You won't regret reading this and the end will leave you wanting more
