Query: Boring

The first couple of Jack Reacher novels I read I enjoyed. But the more of them I read, the more bored I get. The characters are just clones from previous novels. Same old dialogue (some very dull). This author is also a very passive writer. He over uses the verb "was." He uses it 10 times on every page--page after page. It's the lazy way to write. A better writer would take the time to think of more interesting verbs. Lee Child must've never taken a good writing class. And his main character, Jack Reacher, is getting very dull.
