So the U.K.'s Sunday Times has voted the new Jack Reacher book the Sentinel a number one bestseller. I would certainly take that with a pinch of salt.The Times newspaper like many others receives their free copy of the Sentinel whether they read it or not I am not sure, but you can be sure that these newspapers will earn a lot out of advertising and it's free advertising for the book as well.The fact is the Sentinel was brought mostly by the long-standing fans of the many Reacher novels. And as this was the first book by Andrew child the fans brought it in the hundreds and thousands. They only brought it as a test to see if Andrew child would live up to the standard of his brother's writing. He had failed badly. Now his true fans will buy his second book to see if he has taken any notice of the terrible feedback the Sentinel has received yet, the times newspaper has also taken no notice as well. The true test of this change over in writer will come with a second look if Andrew child has ignored its readership they will not buy the third book. In the Sentinel Reacher has moved to Decaf Coffee and it really does show in the writing. Maybe the Times Newspaper book compiler is also on decaf as well.
