Analee by China Mayaville by Lee Child

There are longer paragraphs with more description in the first few chapters of Die Trying by Lee Child but they're generally in that same kind of spare style. I also picked out another paragraph for you to read Analee which comes from the novel Perdido Street Station by China Mayaville. The Lee Child paragraph feels a lot faster because you just don't have to slow down and parse it as much. There is something about Mayaville's early prose that is really gooey and slow.
