Interesting.  Thanks for the info. I loved reading Pathfinder by Cooper. Tried to read LOTM but could not get into it.  The think I like about Cooper's style of writing is that he seems to get to it, meaning he can start an action in the story and finish it on the same page.  Lee Child (Jack Reacher) on the other hand takes forever, and ever to develop a story. Reacher walked slowly into the room, the light was bright, but soft.  Reacher imagined what kind of bulbs produce this alluring light.  Recalling from a magazine that he read in a seedy hotel, he recalled that indirect light is most likely to account for the pleasant glow of the shades, he wondered if it could affect his pistol accuracy......shit like that.  Child brings in to many torturous ramblings that don't have anything to do with the plot.  It drives me crazy. Cooper would say, "He entered the hotel room, and shot the wildeyed murderer.
