Costa Teguise, Lanzarote holiday reads 2023

It wasn‘t completely terrible. I never knew how much I loved character development until I read this book. It was like Indiana Jones meets The A Team and I was here for it, but ultimately the story was so flat. Ain‘t no one gonna break the neck of a nile crocodile with their bare hands. I don‘t care if you‘re one forearm is mechanical. I wanted action-adventure, but what I really wanted was a well written action-adventure. Bummer. ⭐️⭐️

Love the Jack West Junior Series. If you like fast paced books with plenty of action then I thoroughly recommend this series.

Great book!! So many twists and turns!

Finally getting back to my Jack West Jr re-read.

And the binge continues.....

I spent nap time yesterday finishing book 1 in the Jack West Jr series instead of doing housework or catching up with sleep myself. I‘m re-reading them all ahead of the penultimate book which comes out next week.

These books have completely implausible plot lines & action sequences and Mr Reilly is a little over keen on the use of italics and exclamation marks but they are perfect escapism & such good fun. Perfect for lockdown times.

Book 4/2021

I‘ve just picked these up from the library. Time to catch up before reading the penultimate book in the series this month!

I first discovered Matthew Reilly 20 years ago when Ice Station was published a friend gave me his copy to take on holiday. I was hooked!

I haven‘t read any for years but I feel like this is the perfect time to escape into one of his adventure stories.
