Best Books
Having just polished off both these best books in the last week, I thought I’d
tackle them together. Mitch Rapp (protagonist of American Assassin) and Jack
Reacher (of Worth Dying For) have some similarities in terms of the roles they
play. Both are powerful, but somewhat world-weary men…who find themselves
having to sling the problems of others over their shoulders to carry their
burdens, and who are willing to go to any lengths at all to see that “the cause
of right” triumphs in the end.
In the case of Mitch Rapp, the story is solid enough. Probably not my
favorite Rapp novel to date, but we get a lot more backstory this time…where he
came from, his early training, etc…what’s led up to the man he is today. A man
who has no patience with political correctness, and for whom, the end does
indeed justify the means. The inevitable comparison to Jack Bauer would be apt.
So if you enjoyed 24, you’ll like Mitch Rapp. I did, and I do.
In the case of Jack Reacher, he’s still fairly mysterious…though, on some
level, also somewhat predictable. But that’s not a complaint…if I didn’t want
to hear it spelled out anyway, I wouldn’t keep listening.
Rapp is on the trail of some pesky Middle Eastern characters who have
kidnapped and are torturing American agents. It’s his job to rescue them and
bust up the guys who took them. And that’s about all you need to know. It’s
very similar to the previous novels in the series. Still enjoyable. I like
Flynn’s storytelling ability, as well as the insight into agencies, strategies,
weaponry, etc. I think there’s only one Rapp novel that I haven’t listened to
so far, and I’ve enjoyed them all about equally.
Jack Reacher has recently survived the trauma covered in the previous story
in the series (61 Hours), and he’s still on the mend as he wanders into
small-town Nebraska and is confronted by a rather insidious family (the
Duncans) who have made the town their little fiefdom and the residents their
personal slaves. They employ a bunch of former Nebraska college football
players as enforcers…and then we’ve got some organized crime types who jump
into the mix as well. Reacher can’t seem to decide whether to stay and deal
with it, or to head to Virginia in search of a mysterious lady from 61 Hours.
I’ll cut right to the chase: He stays. Surprised? Me neither. However, there is
a very interesting angle to this story that doesn’t fully reveal itself until
later, and I won’t even hint at it…except to say that it made this story the
most interesting of the Reacher novels to date for me. A couple strong thumbs
up on this one.
As to the readers: George Guidall is the best I’ve ever heard. He’s solid as
usual on the Flynn book. I like this guy so much that I actual scour the back
catalog of his work to find things I might want to listen to…just so I can listen
to him do what he does. I’ve been waiting for American Assassin for the last
couple months just to hear him again. Dick Hill is the voice of the Reacher
series, as he has been for years. He’s not my favorite reader. His
characterizations are not that strong overall, but he does bring a certain tone
(cynical, maybe?) that works well overall. There are times, though, when his
voice just doesn’t work for me. Some of the characters just don’t sound right
with that hard-bitten, smart-ass tone. He has sort of a Chicago wise-guy sound
(this may not be a very accurate description, but it’s what comes to mind when
I hear him). I wouldn’t put him in the same class as Guidall or John Lee or
Will Patton or some of the others I’ve heard, but he’s still solid and his voice
is pretty strongly associated with the Reacher series in my head.
So, yes, I liked American Assassin, but of these two…Worth Dying For turned
out to be the real winner here for me. Check ’em out! SEE More BEST BOOKS
