Still reading the third book in the Jack Reacher series by Lee Child, Tripwire. More than half-way through, closer to 2/3rd actually.

Not much to say about it. It's bad guy being a bad guy and Reacher being Reacher. Some interesting side characters, would love to see if it means any character development or not.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

What didn't you like about Children of Time? I haven't read it myself yet, but it's one of community favourites.

I read about a quarter of it. It was a lot of back story and history building. I personally like a more in your face story telling, where the back story is unveiled as you go along. I'm also not so concerned about the technology behind it all, though that wasn't so much that it was distracting.
