Title: Not This One
Review: A few weeks ago I picked up my first Reacher novel - and enjoyed it. So I decided to work my way through all of them. So far I have had a good time with each one. But I got to Echo Burning and it just didn't measure up. I know it's fiction but right in the beginning I had to get over the fact that it was supposed to be 100 degrees before the sun comes up in the morning, in Lubbock. Everyone, especially those of us from West Texas, know that the desert is know for its cool nights - even when it gets up to 120 during the day. So that bothered me first, but what really got me was the premise that the white people out here treat latinos like slaves or worse. Again, I know this is fiction, but in reality the mexican people are by far in the majority out here, and they are well respected, leaders in each community. I guess just not in the fictional ones! Beyond those details that may only have bothered me, I just thought the plot was weak and the anticipated climax was a let down.
Is the review positive or negative?
