"Reacher said nothing"

Another great Jack Reacher book. You really should be reading this series of books.

As Jack Reacher goes, this might be the best I've read, yet.

I will say going in that this is the first Reacher novel I have read and I wasn't sure how I would like it being that military, cia, spy or government based novels aren't really my thing....but I loved this book!!! I didn't realize at first that the Jack Reacher movie was based on this novel, but now that I know, I look forward to watching it. I will still say that some of the talk about gun specifics or other things that someone with a military background might know did not appeal to me, but the mystery part was fantastic. There were a lot of twists & turns and I love how everything tied together in the end. I also love Jack Reacher's personality....confident & somewhat cocky, but intelligent & sarcastic. I would definitly recommend this to anyone looking for a good mystery novel. Not sure I will read more in the series, but all in all, this was a great book!

Much better than the movie. More twists and more layers to the story.

Good as all the other Lee Child novels!
adventurous tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No
adventurous medium-paced

Classic Reacher. Tom Cruise is too 6'4" and 250 pounds!

A fast paced thriller that was easy to read, but had a few twists to keep everything interesting.
