Night School

[YB]

Confession time and I hope I don't get struck off the forum but I just couldn't bring myself to read Night School. I disliked the last book so much it has affected my attitude to this one. So I returned it. I still will want to hear what the rest of you think of it. I don't much care for prequels anyway. I tried the first 10 or so pages and wasn't interested. Sorry!

You have surprised me there Mo, I thought you were a big Reacher fan.

Respect!
For me, the Lee Child/Reacher magic still works.
1. It's true, it needs a little bit of time to get going, but isn't that always the case with Reacher?
2. Love the setting, Hamburg (also a Hanseatic city like Zutphen with a 1000 year old history) and the connection with 'things to come'.
3. Some unsettling scenes in a Reeperbahn Keller, Lee Child doesn't shy away from the raw nineties. You will understand once you get there.
4. ...and the Dutch get a mention on page 156!

Here an extract:
"The T-shirt was black, and spun from a fine grade of cotton. It cost about four times what he was accustomed to paying. But it fit. Germans were tall, on average.
Not as tall as the Dutch, who were worlds champions, but taller than Americans, as a whole".

It's true, I'm somewhere between 5'10/5'11 and most of the time I'm the smallest in the room!

Ok been reading for 3 nights & only 20% into the book. This is usually a bad sign.[emoji53]

It builds, don't worry. That's one of the things I like when Lee uses 3rd person. He does a great job racheting up the suspense.

He never comes around down here either. Veronica was able to go to see him one year & I mailed her 2 books to get signed!

Lee who? There used to be a Lee Child who came here on tour every year. That was a few years back though.

Received Lee Child's email ... none of the cities he's going to are near me. They never are. Though I DO have his autograph. (emailed and asked & they sent me one)

No. I read an interview, yesterday or the day before, Lee gave and he has signed to write four more books. He said one of the books might be Reacher short stories that he'd written through the years.

Brouwer, did you enjoy Night School?

Great joy as always. I like it when Reacher goes back in time, before 9/11 and the smartphone.

Is this number 20 in the series? I read somewhere that Lee Child would write 21, so just one to go after this one?

According to Wikipedia, he went from 2nd Lt to 1st Lt to Captain to Major, back to Captain, then back up to Major.
