The Hard Way by Lee Child
Paperback
384 pages
Thriller novel/Reacher series

So this is my second Reacher book I've read by Lee Child. This one was much better and closer to what I expected from the main character. Still the book was a bit off and confusing but overall I enjoyed it.

Overall the Amazon reviews were pretty positive. Most of the readers were fans of the main character and had read other books. I think this one was a later novel.

Holiday For All!

We couldn't help but notice all sorts of activity at the Galle Face Green recently. Workers installing covered walkways and big tents, international, Sri Lankan and Buddhist flags all up and down Galle Face Road and most recently festive lights on tall buildings.

Nobody really knew what it was all about except that it was something for the President. Well the cat was let out of the bag and apparently there is going to be a big inauguration ceremony for the President, so he declared it a national holiday.

This has to be at least the third impromptu national holiday since I've been here. Thankfully it was declared on a Friday, nice three day weekend for me!

Veteran's Day, Thanksgiving and now this, sweet!

Nothing to Lose by Lee Child
Paperback
411 pages
Mystery thriller

I stumbled upon this series and would say I really liked it up to a point, when I calculated what the ending was going to be I was let down, kind of took the air out of the balloon. In the end it did give me a taste for the main character, Reacher (goes by his last name) and thought I would delve into a few more from the series.

All in all, only somewhat of a good read.
