Die Trying eBook Review

It's a funny thing coincidences. Last Friday the Victorville courthouse was shut down because of some protests by some right wing crazies who don't think they're subject to the laws of the USA. (Read the Daily Press article here.) The Big Guy was there. He said it was exciting and it'll be even more exciting in June when they come back. He promises he'll be front row and center for everything. I'll report back.

Then, on 60 Minutes on Sunday they had a feature about Sovereign Citizens. See that here.

And then Jack Reacher gets kidnapped by a similar group of wingnuts? Who would have the audacity to kidnap Jack Reacher? Militia men. Granted they didn't actually want to kidnap him; he was an innocent bystander helping out a lady with crutches when they kidnapped her. As an FBI agent, she's pretty hardcore herself and kills a lady by knocking her out with her crutch. Jack Reacher continues to be a man-whore in the Montana wilderness. But the most amazing aspect of this book is Jack Reacher gets scared. Terrified. Panicked. Screams out for an hour. Cries. What does that to Jack Reacher? Being trapped in a mine shaft with rats crawling over him.

Overall, a good read. Jack Reacher shoots some people in the head. He knocks in some skulls. He says, as only Jack Reacher could, "Well if he were innocent I wouldn't kill him would I?" Exactly. Because Jack Reacher doesn't hurt anyone who doesn't deserve it. God, I love that man.
