B.D. Lawrence has always loved reading fiction. Ironically, though, his worst subject in high school was English. One night, sitting in a master's level computer programming class, daydreaming about vigilantes, he decided to give writing a try. Out of that came his first novel, which went nowhere.

Book Review of 61 Hours by Lee Child

61 Hours by Lee Child

This fast-paced Reacher novel is all about justice, as most of them are. The bad guys are motivated by greed, not vengeance. However, I believe Reacher sticks around to finish the job for revenge. No redemption in this story.

Jack Reacher is on a tour bus in South Dakota in the middle of winter. The bus has an accident an hour from any town. He, along with the group of elderly

Quotes by B.D. Lawrence (?)
