Interesting over-the-shoulder of Lee Child writing his 19th Reacher book.
An interesting perspective and some fascinating insights into Lee Child's writing process, but somewhat pretentious and unnecessarily abstract. Reacher fans will get something from it but not much more than you'd get from existing interviews with Child.
I was anticipating a bit more in regards to Child's approach to novel writing but there just isn't much to his method. He just makes it up as he goes, which I find fascinating and frustrating all at the same time. Since he doesn't do any pre-planning or outlining, the author has to write more than “Lee Child sat at his desk and wrote” so he goes off on tangents and analyzes the style of writing. It's an interesting book and I'd like to read another following a different author.
