A lot of people seem to really like Lee Child's work, but I couldn't make it through Killing Floor. It was like an episode of the A-Team but not as fun. A lot of Macho stuff going on, but it felt fake-macho to me, like someone bragging about how tough they are. If you want something along those lines that rings true, get hold of Richard Stark's (Donald Westlake) "Parker" series.
