I didn't realize that I had already read this one, so I reread it. This connected Reacher back to his military days in a loose way. There is a sharp shooter with a vendetta out there & Jack Reacher is possibly the best person to find him. …

Not the best read but necessary to complete the series. To wordy and descriptive leaning towards boring.

A little different from the usual, quite entertaining. Surprise twist!

Book #29 chronologically after "Not a Drill" (2014) and Never Go Back (2013) before that, and before "Good and Valuable Consideration" (with Nick Heller) (2014), "No Room at the Motel" (2014), "The Picture of the Lonely Diner" (2015), and…

First-class action packed novel written with the gravitas of someone with big boy pants. The nickname Sherlock Homeless is a clue because it leads one to Doyle's assertion that when you rule out all the other alternatives, the one that…

Another great jack Reacher kick-ass novel. Couldn't put it down!

Call me crazy. I like these Jack Reacher novels. The crimes in some of them are too awful to think about and stay with me in a bad way for days, but not in this one. I love the action and the intellectual approach to taking out the bad…

My second time to read.

Though I still enjoyed it, I found too many parts of this book were a bit stale--Lee Child staying in his own comfortable, well-worn plot grooves. And the nothing-but-a-toothbrush "luggage", and the only clothes he wears being the ones…

Typical Child/Reacher; which is a good thing. He is lazy, though. He has said he doesn’t re-write or plan ahead. If he did strengthen certain sections the books would be solid throughout. I do love the disdain for our new best friend, the…

Another good Reacher novel. Keeps you guessing all the way through.

A formula writer with a clever premise: an ex- military police major becomes a drifter who saves many a day and sexy lady when he regularly bumps into super-villains. [He has best of both worlds: super-training and the compulsory…

A milder thinking man Reacher. Still has the mandatory final mano a mano battle-just shoot him Reacher. Jack Reacher saved from sure death by a petite little blond and he never got her in the sack. Times they are a changing but he should…

I usually love the Jack Reacher series, but this particular book seemed to drag with the protracted descriptions. Not up to Child's usual standard.

Vintage Reacher! Need I say more? Jack Reacher is "baited" to get in touch with his former bosses and goes overseas on an assignment fraught with danger- as always. More importantly, he is escorted by a young woman who reminds him of an…

Lee Child, possibly without intending to, outdid himself with this novel. Tied up in a more-or-less standard Jack Reacher plot is a vividly portrayed environment wherein the consequences of governments training snipers for military then…

I suspect that Lee Child (an Englishman) wanted to write a thriller about organized crime in the UK. And a fable about a giant bad guy. And a Reacher novel. Unfortunately, he put all those together and the result is disappointing.

This one dragged for me. Agree w/ previous reviewers - not one of his best.

Despite the change of locale, this series has become repetitive and tired. Time for Lee and Jack and their fans to move on.
