I mean it moved fast and had a somewhat unusual start that was refreshing. The second half, labeled as the "second half" was awful. The momentum, the pace and suspense, all of it disappeared and I stopped reading after reading over half. I've been quite hesitant to try anything else from C.J. Box. Have you read him? I've his series books are quite good. I'm somewhat willing to read Open Season one day but am in no rush. The rest of your list sounds interesting. I see you have a le Carre in there. whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18030571187291039318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-59292803227175575972013-09-05T08:13:24.261-07:002013-09-05T08:13:24.261-07:00I have not heard of McKenzie or Heller, and look f...I have not heard of McKenzie or Heller, and look forward to seeing what you think of all of these. Especially Fletch Forever and the Freeling book. I am sure I read some or all of the Fletch books years ago and don't know if I would go back and reread them, but I am sure that they are good reads.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-21243526897610463092013-09-05T04:21:11.871-07:002013-09-05T04:21:11.871-07:00Col - I'll be very interested to see what you ...Col - I'll be very interested to see what you think of the Freeling. And I'm so glad you'll get the chance to read some of C.J. Box's work. He's very talented in my opinion. I like his Joe Pickett series. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
