Killing Floor by Lee Child

New thing today, finished Killing Floor by Lee Child. I watched the Jack Reacher movie and was interested in the character and thought the book series would be interesting. It was alright. I'd give it maybe a 7 out of 10. Definitely a mystery action thriller. His descriptive style is a little dry and monotonous, but it's the way his character is, very objective and detached. I sort of like how realistic this action hero is. He talks about strategy and fighting in a more realistic, gritty and unheroic way. I learned a few things about fighting that were interesting. Also, it's a little gory in the fight scenes, not much, just a bit. 

It was a good mystery thriller. I wasn't as hooked on it as other books. I'm not really dying to read the next book. There are other authors who are a lot more unstoppable page turners. Overall though the adventure and story were fairly interesting and I always like learning a little bit, and in this book I learned a bit about the scam they were uncovering and such. Don't want to give anything away.

Try it? If you're not hooked in the first 5 chapters, put it down. But overall it has a nice slow build and a fairly good ride. He is a pretty good character too. I think I might enjoy the series as it is long and there are a ton of books in this character's life.
