"It was as distinctive as the most distinctive thing you could ever think of."

That’s the character named Jack Reacher in the novel, Killing Floor, the first in Lee Child’s best-selling series featuring said character, describing a Bentley automobile.

I give up.

It’s a book I picked up as a free sample from audible.com; I managed to wade through about half of it. Except for a comically improbable chase scene through the Atlanta airport, it’s easily the dullest “thriller” I’ve ever come across. Clearly, a lot of people disagree with me, but I’m declining to add it to our reading list. I’m also declining to listen to the second half of it.

Onward.
