Reacher is careful.

Revisado: 03-07-25

Good story, but sometimes confusing. Remarkably strong characters, both good and bad. But the undercover secret is easily exposed to the reader relatively early in the story. It did not lessen the intensity of the narrative, and Reacher’s success did not depend solving the nature of the treachery. Unfortunately, The narrator was particularly bland, not a good voice for this story.

A surprising turn for Follett.

Revisado: 02-15-25

Perhaps somewhat unrealistic, but nevertheless believable. Great characters and excellent stories which are not really tied together as neatly as Follet usually does.

Self Indulgent.

Revisado: 12-20-24

An author clearly impressed with his own astute command of the language. Insipid tales assessing self-worth, a few somewhat interesting passages but overall boring.

Agonizingly long

Revisado: 12-12-24

The story was OK but like a certain amount of dram and conflict. Excruciatingly repetitive. Could’ve spent a little more time adding some wants to the characters. I was glad when it ended.

How delusionally selfish can you get?

Revisado: 10-24-24

An amazingly insipid study of self delusional narcissism. the story ends predictably. What a waste of time.

Expected something better.

Revisado: 09-02-24

Kind of boring, lacks originality, Far too much trivia detail about obscure video games, not enough imagination.

A woman invented by men.

Revisado: 08-07-24

I enjoyed this story for its humor and its peculiar plot. Bella (Victoria) is delightful and charming and though she is self possessed she is also naïve to the point of embarrassment. A free woman she may be, but she is also invented by the men who have chosen her and also manipulated by the society of men. it is only after the death of god that she is free to be a service to herself and the people she wants to help. This seems largely a fiction dictated by reality of the late 19th century, Though I was disappointed in the outcome. It is still an engaging story.

A tedious and unimaginative sequel.

Revisado: 07-14-24

I really loved Peripheral. But with this book Gibson is just playing his own mind game. He uses a few characters which were so engaging earlier and just has them perform nothing. This is a tedious story. It goes nowhere. There is no one to like particularly and nothing of a plot that one can follow. Endless detail without substance leads nowhere. Do not waste your time with this. I know Gibson to be a better writer, especially when he’s creating something new.

Reflection and regret.

Revisado: 06-30-24

Though I knew the story, having seen the film many years ago, it’s unfolding as Lehane wrote it is masterful. It has been a pleasure to discover this book.
