Book Review : Make Me

Book Title : Make Me 
Author : Lee Child
Genre : Suspense Thriller

Plot :
“Why is this town called Mother’s Rest?” That’s all Reacher wants to know. But no one will tell him. It’s a tiny place hidden in a thousand square miles of wheat fields, with a railroad stop, and sullen and watchful people, and a worried woman named Michelle Chang, who mistakes him for someone else: her missing partner in a private investigation she thinks must have started small and then turned lethal. 
Reacher has no particular place to go, and all the time in the world to get there, and there’s something about Chang . . . so he teams up with her and starts to ask around. He thinks: How bad can this thing be? But before long he’s plunged into a desperate race through LA, Chicago, Phoenix, and San Francisco, and through the hidden parts of the internet, up against thugs and assassins every step of the way—right back to where he started, in Mother’s Rest, where he must confront the worst nightmare he could imagine. 
Walking away would have been easier. But as always, Reacher’s rule is: If you want me to stop, you’re going to have to make me.


My Rating : ☆☆☆☆

Review :
Make Me is 20th novel in the Jack Reacher series by Lee Child. 
Starting off on a very slow pace, the novel soon turns into a page-turner. Having a similar broader plot like all books in the series, the specific plot of the novel is much too interesting...
What starts off as a simple search for missing person, soon turns into search of two missing people and then three missing people. But it doesn't end there - for now there is a mention of 200 deaths. 
What starts as a search in the Web to know last locations soon reveals the various levels of the Deep Web. And what unfolds is a horrible mystery behind the deaths.

*could be a spoiler*

The book made me wonder, for whom money matters, what is the value of human life - that they call themselves businessman and earn out of people dying - what has the world come to! 
Unlike the last book I read, this one wasn't easy to guess and was a suspense till they decided to reveal it.
Like all other Lee Child books, this is too an amazing read if you are in for suspense / thriller. You won't be left disappointed!

 


Happy Reading!

I loved her blog on the prompt for today - check it out on  www.foreversassymommy.com Prompt for the Day : My Pregnancy It's been a few months over two years since I had my son, and almost three years since I discovered that I was pregnant. It was a bittersweet journey. Almost three years into our marriage, we started thinking about starting a family, I had my health issues to take care of, my college was about to end, I was running around for placements, clearing all levels before the HR round, facing rejection because I was a married woman. Amidst all this, I had started my treatment for Thyroid and PCOD. And because of these issues, I knew conceiving might not be easy for me and some medical intervention might be required. My gynaec wanted to run some tests but they had to be done...
