Book Reviews of Echo Burning (Jack Reacher, No. 5)
Book Review: The First Time is the Best Time
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm shocked to see the mediocre reviews of this Lee Child/Jack Reacher novel and fascinated to read the reading history of various reviewers. I want to comment on mine and other readers reactions to this series--and offer a theory--rather than really review the book. Often, perhaps, most of the time, the first book you read in a good to great series becomes the readers standard. Echoe Burning was this for me. My first by Child-- and out of nowhere never heard of the auther or character retrieved from a discard pile by accident--I began it and was enthralled, captivated, enthused. Now I've read many others, some almost as good the current but I recall it as brilliant and groundbreaking. Travis McGee meets Lucas Davenport with alot of coffee. Subsequent books in the series almost but don't really measure up. And KILLING FLOOR, my current read isn't on the same level at all. So these reviews are fascinating. Alot of fives. Many 1's and two's perhaps depending on where it has been read in the reader's sequence. Try this theory, for example, with Tom Robbins. I read Even Cowgirls Get the Blues first and consider it the standard and masterpiece. Those who started with Another Roadside Attraction seem to feel the same about that. Theory is fun but in sum, this was a great and worthwhile book.

The setting of the story is West Texas and I could relate to it really well, having lived near the area. I love Jack Reacher's way of setting people straight. He's a man who knows what he's about and not afraid to stand up to anyone.
This is the second Jack Reacher novel I've read and I ate it up like it was candy. I can't get enough of this guy and will continue buying Lee Child's novels.

Excellent fair. Reacher's skill and instincts are the highlight of this story. I love these action thriller type novels and the Reacher series always fills the bill. "Echo Burning" is one of the best thus far.Book Review: Echo Burning
