Ending was expected, but I guess if you have such a long running series, pretty much ending will always be expected. Bad guy meets Reacher, bad guy loses, Reacher wins. Fun to read though, which is the main point. Going to keep reading them.

Don't think it ticked any of the Bingo boxes though.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

Finished AE van Vogt's "the universe maker". Like I said last week, an older book in an archaic Dutch translation. I was quite amused by it, even though the protagonist is totally unsympathetic to me. This may be due to the age of the book, I'm not sure. After that I've read "the forever war" (award winning in 1975) and "forever peace" by Joe Haldeman. They're also good, if you like space opera's, but these are 50-ish year old books, and there's some rampant homophobia in the main character. I also failed to see how this adds to the plot. The last book has some wierd ending, like the author wrote himself into a corner and didn't know how to get out. Still, an entertaining read.

I'm still listening to "the eye of the Bedlam bride" by Matt Dinniman on my commute. This a first time listening to an audiobook for me, but I like it so far. I have to say this kind of book lends it for listening (for me at least) due to it's length. Basically if I miss a part during listening (when driving) I'll pick back up without missing much or having to "rewind".
