The 'Reacher' series ranks right up there with Deaver's 'Lincoln Rhyme' series and Sandford's "Prey" series! Engrossing page turners even when read out of order!

Ooooo! I already got my copy, but this bumps it up in my reading list! Deaver's "Lincoln Rhyme" books are great! Nice to hear that this is comparable to those. Yay!

I'm very happy that this series has all the early books available in Kindle format. I'm anxious to begin reading the Pendergast series by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, but the Kindle editions begin with #3. And we won't even discuss Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time saga.

I have read only one Lee Child book before. That was last year and I think it was called the Enemy. I don't normally read out of order but I do know enough about this character and series that I thought it would be ok.

Wow! If you like Child and Deaver, you're gonna LUV Sandford's "Prey" series. While I don't mind reading most series out of order, I do recommend that you read the Prey series in correct order. There are quite a few wonderful characters that carry over into all of the books, and Sandford's character development is just as entertaining as his plots! As with Deaver, you often don't know the ending until the last few pages. The twists are fantastic!
Sandford's "Kidd" series are entertaining, but not even close to the "Prey" series. Stitchawl Last edited by Stitchawl; 03-25-2009 at 02:51 AM. |

Over at Tor.com, Leigh Butler is leading a group re-read of the first eleven books in the series in preparation for the release of A Memory of Light, which is scheduled to be published in the fall of 2009. Butler has cautioned readers, "... posts will be rife with spoilers for the entire Wheel of Time series, up to and including the most recent installment, Knife of Dreams. In other words, in the unlikely case that you are reading the series for the first time, you really, really want to wait till you’ve finished them all before reading these posts." I commented that I'd really like to read the series: "But I can't locate an electronic version of this book. I'm not buying any more books in paper -- and if I *were*, I'd pick up a copy from a second-hand source and neither the publisher nor the author would see any benefit. But if you release a Kindle or Sony or MobiPocket version, then I can buy it and the author and publisher both get paid." Sadly, no one at TOR has responded, though a couple of people suggested I just get the used books and enjoy the series. I'm still holding out for electronic versions. |
