 Boring August 26, 2008

I agree with the other reviews. This is certainly not up to his standard. The first one I have not enjoyed. Usually Lee Child's books are excellent.

Reacher Rubbish August 5, 2008

Sorry to say it, but this one's a real duffer. Terrible plot, barely plausible characters and about 200 pages too long. It just ambles along without ever getting going. Like most here, I'm a big Reacher fan (read everything else) but this one really fails to hit the mark. In my opinion, Mr Lee is flogging the Reacher franchise way too hard. He needs to step off the gravy train for a serious length of time - maybe that way he'll get Reacher back on track.
Avoid this book.

The Reacher books ahve always been overhyped and overwritten. But they have always been fun and fast paced. Child used to keep the pace up and the energy high. I have alwasy felt his books are 50 odd pages to long though. This one was about 421 pages to long.
I can see Child now - looking at a map and seeing two towns... one nice and one nasty. Trouble is he forced a story into an idea and came out with a silly and tedious read, where subplots led nowhere and the climax wasn't a climax. It is poorly conceieved, lazily written and dull.
alot of his twists are predictable, that usally doesn't matter as the pace drags you to the conclusion which is always interesting and satisfying. There are three or four pants entries in the series and Child needs to do something clever to resurrect our faith in Reacher...
 It's just a fiction novel - don't buy it if you want War & Peace July 28, 2008

This is Jack Reacher doing what he does best. Sort of a non super-hero who picks up his uniform in a thrift store. Don't expect a Booker Prize winning novel but do expect something that you WILL enjoy and WON'T want to put down.
It may not be Lees best in the series, but who's to judge - it's all in the eye of the beholder. I enjoyed it, as I have for everyone of them so far and there are many other authors such as Coben, Patterson, Cussler and Grisham that have similar threads and are just as enjoyable.
Just read it and enjoy.

I always look forward to Lee Child's next book, but this was a great disappointment. The story did not hold my attention and I felt I was going up and down the road between the two towns, forever. The end of a weak plot let the book down. It's a great shame - I hope the next Jack Reacher lives up to all the earlier books which were such a good read.
