I'd put the quality of this at about 6/10 compared to other Reacher novels. I liked the storyline, except for the poorly developed teenager toward the end (pretty sure no teen thinks or talks like that). A bit of an anticlimactic ending,…

Good , but not great. It starts well, carrying on from 61 Hours, but starts to slow down in the middle. At 635 pages its just too long and drawn out, too much driving around the country, too much eating in diners, sleeping in motels,…

The only problem with novels like these is that they are insomnia inducing. You can't get a good night's sleep because you can't put the book down. It's horrible that Child is so talented to conjure up a story out of whole cloth. Even when…
Start's out fast and furiously, however fades into a dull west coast experience. Totally different from the movie so that is a plus, but not his top 15.

this is a great book to read, considering Jack Reacher left South Dakota to go back to /Virginai to meet Major Susan Turner from 61 hours. On arrival, Jack Reacher is brought back into the fold into the US Army, then he is brought up on…

I've read some of the Jack Reacher novels. This one was boring beyond belief. Started out okay and then descended into what I considered a fill-in-the pages non-plot. I'd ask myself what the h*** is going on and what's the purpose of…

There’s something comforting in Lee Child’s Jack Reacher. Reacher is essentially invincible and the enemies are truly bad. Characters, who we might like in an individual novel, may die but Reacher goes on as he travels the USA. For several…

Doesn't cohere as well as you feel it should; actually, most of the Reachers don't seem to be completely planned out, rather, they are work as they go. Here it's just a little less so. The parts are up to par and easily as much fun as any.…
This book started out okay and then became "unreadable", poor plot, unbelievable, etc. Previous books on Jack Reacher have been excellent. Please Mr. Child - make "Jack Reacher" amazing again. This was an extremely poor attempt at fiction.…

A weak effort. All the Reacher novels are extremely highly formulamatic but this one goes into the self parody stage. The plot is unbelievable. The plot is absurd. The only reason to read this book is for the enjoyment of the set…

In the Jack Reacher series, author Lee Child continues to set a very high standard for others to emulate if they can. No one does a better job of providing readers with first rate thrillers.

The entire Reacher Series was degraded with having Tom Cruise being chosen to play Reacher. He does not even come close to what my vision of Reacher in real life would be! Very sad.
