Killing Floor by Lee Child
1.0
This book has some of the worst prose ever put to pen. (The author wouldn't know what to do with a comma if he paid 50 bucks for it). As mostly a detective novel, the main plot is painfully predictable. And the side characters all feel the same, this is backed up by all of them speaking the same.
The only redeeming quality is that the main character, is essentially a superhero. Stronger, faster, and smarter than everyone else, he always has a plan, and the brutal action scenes are only elevated by the clipped way he thinks.
This really is an Airplane Novel. If you want something to mindlessly entertain you, while you waste around your apartment, stuck inside due to the ongoing pandemic, then maybe I can recommend this book to you. Everything that it does well, I have seen done significantly better elsewhere.
