Thanks SK for reposting this. It sounds like you didn't really like the Reacher books at first. Did you continue reading and become a fan later on, or give up after the first couple of books? That would be a reasonable thing to do after two tries! Did you watch either of the two movies?
I was very disappointed with this. I got about 70 pages into it and it just hadn't grabbed me and I thought, "Mmm, this doesn't bode too well, I've still got 450 pages to go." It slowly got a little interesting but if it wasn't for my hard and fast rule regarding books and films that I stick it out till the end, I would've given it away. It reminded me of watching a really long film and the painful wait just for it to slowly get to the conclusion.
2/5.
I've started the second book in the series, Die Trying but again after 100 pages it hasn't grabbed me and this one is even longer but I'll reserve final judgemnet until I've finished.
This didn't improve on the first novel. The same drawn out feeling like it was a chore just to get through it.
I know it's only fiction but there was one page in this book that I just couldn't stop shaking my head in bewilderment.
Reacher and FBI Agent Holly Johnson are in the woods and come across a body that has been crucified. Of course she can't handle the sight of it and throws up. Reacher cuts the body down and buries it. Before the end of the page, they're naked and having sex in the dirt! I mean, come on, are you kidding me?
2/5.
Hey... the board seems to have changed and my avatar has disappeared. Any ideas anyone ?
Is there a new look to the board, or is my view a little off right now?
Are there any series on Netflix that are light and comedic? With all that's going on today, I can't get into shows that I used to enjoy. I really loved Schitt's Creek, but got through that series pretty quickly. Need light entertainment these days!
There's a search engine where you can find what is streaming on which services called Just Watch, but it's mostly for the US. I don't know if there's a European version.
There was a small clip on Alison’s instagram from
his birthday party. From what I could see, a couple of people had masks and nitrile gloves on. They were singing happy birthday to him and he made a funny face and after he said ’knock it off’ laughing.
