more Simply put, this book is a work of well-researched magnificence. Whether you read a page every thirty seconds or over the course of a few minutes, this book has a narrative flow that is consistent and one that does not feel forced in any way. Though Child's book excels in its style, it does not falter in its content, as it proves to be an exceptionally well thought-out thriller, with a complex plot that you wouldn't think could be explained any clearer than Child does.
As a writer myself I admire Lee Child's works, as all throughout you see little nuances that inspire you to be more creative with the subtle details of your characters. Though every book in the series is a collection of obscure research, a dynamic style, and a character that you could only dream to be in real life (and one who only gets more and more badass), this has remained my favourite of the series.
This may be because, unlike most of the series, Killing Floor is written from the first-person, something challenging to do in a novel like this. Pulled off masterfully, Child demonstrates the reasons why first-person narrative can be superior to third-person: tension, empathy, and as a book opening the a series it helps you gain a fast understanding of the protagonist you will follow.
