Ok I've finally finished this now and really disappointed, think it's run out of steam (bit like Janet E). Really had to force myself to keep reading, yawn.

Read the new Mo Hayder before that though, think it's called Ritual (also under a tenner at Asda or Tescos) and it was excellent, unputdownable - mildly annoying end though.

Sidge - I secnd that - need a 'droool' emoticon

I can remember the name of it. I lost the will to live 2 chapters in .

rosmerta · 06/04/2008 12:36

Was the second one Trouble? That's the one I read, definitely trying too hard!

cocolepew · 06/04/2008 12:34

[jealous]Agree with rosmerta re Jesse Kellerman, read the first, but the second was rubbish.

I am too.

I would love to meet him.

Do you think MN would get him to do a webchat?

am very hannah, where did you see him?

hannahsaunt · 05/04/2008 21:04

I went to SEE Lee Child on Weds; have been ridiculously excited ever since. He was fab - the kind of person you would love to have at a dinner party for good chat. Very conversational and entertaining. Great evening out and learned lots about his theory of writing etc.

I love Jack Reacher! I have a shameless crush on him and am delighted to hear about the commando pantless thing.

Oh dear, I think I might need a lie down, too.

You lot might like this.

Re the Kellermans, their son has also had a couple of books published, complete tosh imho!

Orinoco, enjoy the KR!

Wow that crime writing festival looks great, little chance of dragging Dh to it though

No it's not a Myron

rosmerta · 03/04/2008 09:31

I agree that this one doesn't really keep me as hooked, I'm finding it quite easy to read a couple of chapters and then put it down, whereas I usually have to finish them pretty much in one go!

Pillow, is the new HC one a Myron book do you know?

I really need to keep more up to date!

Pillow · 02/04/2008 22:55

I have to say I am a bit disappointed with this book. It just didnt have that "can't go to loo I'm so into it" quality for me. Heh ho - looking forward to the Harlan Coben later this month

Pillow · 31/03/2008 22:43

NO to RA from me - am v intrigued at this Ray bloke as gave up on Rome quite early on. He is def a contender. Maybe the person in question has to be quite unknown to you for it to work?

pooka · 31/03/2008 21:02

Much as I admire Richard Armitage I don't think he has the combination of height, bulk and brutishness required to portray reacher. I was very fond of Ray Stevenson in Rome.

cocolepew · 31/03/2008 18:42

Wow Pooka, good choice! I'd never heard of him before My mum and I were talking at the weekend who could play our favourites. I always imagine John Cusack as Myron and she pictures Geoege Clooney as everyone
