Which is different if the reader binge reads any series within the same genre.I enjoyed it quite a bit. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Standard Reacher Fare *by R***Z on Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2021* I am struck by the lead Amazon reviews here, which are so negative. My fellow readers see BETTER OFF DEAD as diverging significantly from the Reacher brand. I found the book to fit the mold exactly. JR is in the middle of the boondocks (here, on the Arizona/Mexico border) and finds that uber-dastardly deeds are being perpetrated by an evil, shadowy presence (though usually not with such a bizarre name as Dendoncker). There is a young woman there in need of help, a woman who could potentially become a love interest for JR but who will not, in fact, serve in that capacity, since JR must move on to his next encounter with the dark side. In the course of the story there will be a number of serious fistic encounters (as the old Saturday serials described them) and JR will be taken captive (but not, of course, for long). The story is ultimately a western, with the out-of-town hero cleaning house and then moving on. That is precisely what we have in BETTER OFF DEAD, though the ending is a tad too convoluted and at points a bit difficult to follow. There are also some implausible situations and occurrences, but they can be forgiven because of the need to drive the plot.The prime problem with a JR novel is that it is generally devoid of any serious theme(s). There is a piledriver plot that includes a reversal or two, some attractive (if two-dimensional) characters and a bleak, remote setting, but the stories do not involve any larger philosophical concerns (beyond the obvious notion that there is unspeakable evil in the world and we would like to see it removed). There is very little backstory for JR and no personal subplot or interesting sidekick. Reading a JR novel is a form of ritual, in which good triumphs over evil, an avenging angel appears out of the mist, does his work, and fades away (with echoes of a number of significant pop culture antecedents). I don’t perceive any great difference between a co-authored JR novel and a single-authored novel. I do find the jacket picture of ‘Lee Child’ weird; it looks as if he’s had bad plastic surgery. I also find it awkward that brother Andrew has to change his name to Child in order to underline the brotherly collaboration. The card page shows that Andrew writes as Andrew Grant, because that is his brother Jim’s name also. I understand that this all involves branding and commercial considerations, but I find it diminishing rather than supportive.Bottom line: a standard, M1A1 Jack Reacher novel, perfect for those moments when you want to see evil receive its proper comeuppance, but not a more ‘serious’ novel-novel. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Good *by J***C on Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2024* Typical greatLee Child Jack Reacher story. I hate the fact that they require you to use x amount of words before you can press the submit button. There, I'm sure I went well over the amount. Maybe next time, I'll just type in my own novel. Honestly, the book is good. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/429987407-better-off-dead-a-jack-reacher-novel](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/429987407-better-off-dead-a-jack-reacher-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
