I started reading The Enemy by Lee Child. Not my first choice, but a friend gave me all her old books last Christmas so I feel somewhat obligated to read it. It's easy to read, and it's thrilling enough to compel me onwards, but the dialogue is vapid and there's a lot of Clancyisms where the story will focus on over romanticising the army, kplus I think one chapter only existed so the author could use as many homophobic slurs as he knew, which was off-putting.
