book beginnings on Friday: Nothing to Lose by Lee Child

Thanks to Katy at A Few More Pages for hosting this meme. To participate: Share the first line (or two) of the book you are currently reading on your blog or in the comments. Include the title and the author so we know what you’re reading. Then, if you feel so moved, let us know what your first impressions were based on that first line, and let us know if you liked or did not like the sentence. You might also consider stopping by the original post.

I am listening to this one in the car on audio. (You will note, if you’ve been following, that I am listening to more and more audio. More on that later, but suffice it to say the format is more or less working for me.) I love my Lee Child… Here’s your book beginning:

The sun was only half as hot as he had known sun to be, but it was hot enough to keep him confused and dizzy. He was very weak. He had not eaten for seventy-two hours, or taken water for forty-eight.

I have faith, Reacher! Especially as there’s so much more yet to come. 🙂

  1. I have been very curious about this series, and from this beginning, I’m thinking I should grab one of these…now!

    Here’s MY FRIDAY MEMES POST

  2. Oh, I’m a huge fan! He’s my #1 genre author these days. If you search for him on this blog you can see I’ve written about a number of them.

  3. I’ve never read a Lee Child book, but have heard good things. There is one on my Kindle that I’ll try to get to this summer. Have a great weekend

  4. […] cheated today when I quoted this book beginning; I haven’t started it yet, but expect to get to it this […]

  5. I hadn’t planned on buying another Reacher novel, but… it had a great beginning and shopping on the Kindle is so easy 🙂

  6. Right on! 🙂 I love him!

  7. Interesting. I haven’t read any Lee Child – I might have to!
