Half way reading this book, I started to know Lee Child has some very pointed views about the American military and they are not excellent. I establish this very ironic, especially considering that he is NOT an American; but, a British citizen, one of whom is not in favor of current American military policies. I was even more irate, when I learned he has never served in any type of military whatsoever. He is a wannabe, and does not know what is like to serve, have served, or see your buddy in a body bag. Therefore, I am never reading any of his books again, and suggest others read between the lines of his tales and come to your own conclusion.

I couldn’t get past the first 10 pages of this book – the leader has the worst writing style I have ever encountered. The fact that this book got published, let alone is the eighth in the series amazes me…
Apart from the clumsy writing in all-purpose, what stands out most is his use of the word ’said’. The leader uses it after nearly every line of dialog – it is enough to drive you mad. Even a primary school child mixes it up a bit, and the English language has a vast array of descriptive terms to choose from. The additional huge gripe I have is that the book seems to be written entirely in the first person, a style that I find very irritating to read.
Now I only read the first chapeter (it was sent to me as a ’sampler’) but I didn’t even end that. So perhaps it gets better but I really really doubt it.
Do yourself a favor and find a better book.

Child writes in in appealing manner and makes an appropriate amount of suspense, but, he should not have chosen the US Army for his vechicle — because his knowledge of such is extremly superficial at best. He creatates a main character who exists in a fictictious unit in an Army of which he has no basic understanding of its mores, organization, operations, rules & regulations, nor traditions.
He should have consulted a career officer before he went to press.
Why I take such umbrage with this novel is that that the portrayal is such a distorted picture of how the Army operates, the uninitiated will take it is as legitimate and feel that they now know what can go on within its structure.
As an aside, like Patricia Cornwell, he seems to have a homosectual acceptance agenda natural fiber into his novel that becomes an unnecessary distraction.
I certainly will not try his work again.

I am a prodigious book reader, well over 100 annually. Only recently have I learned Lee Child, and in doing so have establish the most cunning writer of all times. But, even tho’ all his novels unparalleled, “The Enemy” is far and above the most gripping of any novel ever, by ANYone!
