No Plan B (Jack Reacher, #27)
by
by
I have read every Jack Reacher book (and all the short stories). Of the first 26 I gave all 5 star ratings except for four which got four star ratings (mostly recent ones). Obviously I am a huge Jack Reacher fan. One star for this piece of junk is generous. It was truly awful. It consisted of a bunch of disconnected plots which all come together in an ending which was obvious, unsatisfying and totally ridiculous. Jack Reacher, a complex character created by Lee Child, has turned into a thug. It was a struggle to finish but since I was so invested in the series I did finish it. Summary: stupid and boring. This could not have been written by Lee Child (Andrew Child is listed as a co-author), and I doubt Lee had anything to do with it or even read it.

I've been really torn about reading the books by Andrew as I also love this series. I think I'm going to stop where Lee leaves off.

I read that Lee has retired and Andrew is actually writing them now
Well that does it for me. Andrew is not a good writer. As far as I am concerned Jack Reacher has retired.
RE: "This could not have been written by Lee Child" -- Absolutely, 100% agree.
I agree. I have read all Lee Child's Reacher novels and this one was disappointing as a previous reviewer mentioned where was the humor and the sarcastic come backs. Reachers character felt 1 dimensional and the story lacked any tension or mystery.
Vincent, you hit the nail on the head with this comment.
Like you said, “crap.�
