"Safe Enough" is a collection of twenty short stories written by Jack Reacher author Lee Child. Frankly, he should stick to novels.
These twenty intriguing, thrilling, and rapid-fire fictions are intimate portraits of humanity at its best and worst, sure to please new and longtime fans of Child and to illuminate a side of the author’s work unknown to Reacher devotees. Featuring a colorful new introduction from the author, the collection stands as the first book written entirely by Child in four years.
None of the stories included Jack Reacher, and that's fine. I was looking forward to seeing another side of Child's writing and mind and what kind of "reach" he had. I was very disappointed. There were maybe three that I enjoyed.
I'm not the deepest thinker, but finished several of the stories and just didn't see the point.
Amazonians seemed disappointed too as it only has a 3.8 of 5 rating, with Goodreaders even more so at a 3.4. I gave it of 5 of 10 on the Haugenometer.
