Book

61 Hours (2010)

This book can be read without having read any of the other jack reacher books. I rated a four because I found the book to be slightly drawn out and slow paced. The ending was thrilling but inconclusive, it left me hanging wondering what had really happened (don't want to give too much away!). I d...

Book

A Wanted Man (2012)

A good, not great continuation of the Jack Reacher series. I know the whole purpose of these books are Jack Reacher against the world, but I thought this one slowed down when he got out of the car with the hostage. Every thing seemed to perfectly align even more so than normal. I mean there ar...

Book

High Heat (2013)

A Reacher short-story that takes place in our hero's late teens.Although the plot is good, it could have been a Reacher story taken from any time in the character's life. Beyond Reacher actively trying to pick up girls, I never got the feeling that this was the adventure of a young man.There's al...

Book

61 Stunden (2013)

By far the best book I have read in the series. Lee Child does not disappoint with this awesome Jack Reacher novel. It is so riveting and intense it keeps you on edge until you finish the last page. Afterwards, you find yourself craving more. This story is so suspenseful you cannot stop. It does ...

Book

Reacher's Rules: Life Lessons From Jack Reacher (2012)

This book was a quick and fun read. It detailed in a concise manner how Jack Reacher deals with situations to survive on the move, how to function without a suitcase of clothes, to say anonymous and off the grid, plus many other situations while explaining Reacher's military training sharing in...

Jack Reacher's Rules (2012)

-Liar: avoids eye contact, touches nose or ear; says no immediatelya glance to the left means remembering things; to right, making it uphead up-will use fists, head down going to kickpeople don't search above head heightover dressed, robotic walk; irritable, sweating, tics, nervous, panting, rigi...

Book

Not a Drill (2014)

And so in “Drill”, we have the latest short story to serve as teaser for the author’s newest full-length novel just published (“Personal”). Lee Child's fans like these brief tales, as do we, as sometimes they fill in little gaps about our hero Reacher. This one is a little different – Jack is d...

Book

Bad Luck and Trouble (2007)

Eleventh in the Jack Reacher suspense series. This one takes place in L.A.My TakeOh. This is such a sad one. So many losses.I found it interesting that Child is allowing Jack to age and start to question what he's doing. This makes it so real. I've been wondering if/when Jack might start to wonde...

Book

Like a Charm (2004)

I really did not enjoy reading this book. The book consists of 16 short stories in which appears a bracelet that brings bad luck to everyone that gets hold of it. I really like the idea of this but the authors just didn't make it work. When you read this kind of book you expect that the stories a...

Book

The Enemy (2005)

Lee Child's Jack Reacher series continues. This is a series of thrillers about an action hero -- Reacher. When Child is good, the books are, well, thrilling, and the hero, Jack Reacher, engages in a lot of action. This is usually the case.Unfortunately, in some books, such as "Echo Burning" (M...

Book

Running Blind (2001)

2 ½ stars. Long, drawn out process investigating murders. Not enough action. The ending was frustrating.REVIEWER’S OPINION:The story starts off in an exciting way with thugs demanding payoffs from a new restaurant owner. Reacher likes the restaurant and takes action. That was fun. But after...

Book

Die Trying (2008)

In this, his second outing, ex-Army Major Jack Reacher is minding his own business, walking past a dry cleaning shop in Chicago, when an attractive young woman emerges from the shop with nine bags of expensive clothes, a bad knee, and a crutch. She drops the crutch and Reacher jumps to her assist...

Book

Echo Burning (2002)

Fifth in the Jack Reacher suspense series revolving around an ex-military policeman wandering the country and getting into a bushel of trouble.My TakeI hated this one! That bitch Carmen and her approach with Reacher. It's just wrong! Stupid twit! What is so important that she has to stick around?...

Book

Tripwire (2000)

Third in the Jack Reacher suspense series revolving around a retired military policeman, checking out the country and fixing wrongs. The action starts in Key West, Florida.My TakeI do love Child's writing. He grabs me and pulls me immediately into the story. The story's basic concept may be a bit...

Book

Killing Floor (2006)

After collecting each and every Jack Reacher books tirelessly over the years one by one from the mountainous book piles of used bookstores, and after always hearing this or that about the all powerful Jack Reacher, yesterday I finally finished reading this first book from Lee Child. Was it worth ...

Book

Persuader (2008)

I would have to rank this as one of my favourite Lee Child books, even if I thoughs the start was dubious. For the first chapter or two, I worried this might even be a Reacher novel of a standard to rival the disaster that was Nothing to Lose. Then, of course, we got a little farther into the boo...

Book

Night School

Near your hotel, as a matter of fact. A man who spoke in English and sounded American just rented a large panel van. Despite the fact he spoke only in English, his ID was German. The clerk at the desk did the deal. But the manager was in the back office and overheard the conversation. He recogniz...

Book

Nothing to Lose

She craned her neck and spent a long minute staring out the back window. They were still deep in Despair’s territory. But all was quiet behind them. She slumped in her seat and dropped both hands to her lap.“We need the State Police,” she said. “We’ve got mob rule back there and a missing woman. ...

Book

Gone Tomorrow

No REASON TO BE, unless you plan on touching it. Hundreds of volts, but they don’t jump out at you. You have to go looking for them, to get in trouble.Easy enough to step over, even in lousy shoes. I figured whatever my rubber footwear would subtract in terms of precision control, it would add in...

Book

Make Me

A top-floor walk-up, in other words, with no view. In an unremarkable building on a second-rate street. Location was working against the guy.The street door was stout and securely locked.Chang pressed McCann’s call button. They heard no sound inside. Too far away, presumably. There was no crackli...

Book

Hard Way

Just waved the stump of his right wrist, weakly, vaguely, a dismissive little gesture."Did Knight confess to killing Anne Lane?"Hobart said, "He confessed to about a hundred thousand different things." Then he smiled, ruefully. "You had to be there. You had to know how it was. Knight was raving f...

Book

Personal

They showed plenty of subterranean detail, under the sidewalks, and under the road itself. In the movies we would have found a storm drain, about as wide as my shoulders, that ran under Joey’s kitchen floor, and I would have climbed down into it two streets away, and inched along, until a sudden ...

Book

Never Go Back

Turner went still and quiet. She said, ‘They were good men. Natty Weeks and Duncan Edwards. Weeks was an old hand and Edwards was a good prospect. I shouldn’t have let them go. The Hindu Kush is too dangerous for two men on their own.’‘It wasn’t tribesmen who got them,’ Reacher said. ‘They were s...

Book

Small Wars (2015)

She bought a silver Porsche to celebrate. She had family money, people said, and plenty of it. A trust fund, maybe. Some eminent relative. Maybe an inventor. Her uniforms were tailored in D.C. by the same shop that made suits for the president. She was held to be the richest woman in the army. No...

Book

Not a Drill: A Jack Reacher Short Story

Some of it good. Some of it not so good. Most of it uneventful. Long slow periods of nothing much, with occasional bursts of something. Like the army itself. Which is how they found me. You can leave the army, but the army doesn’t leave you. Not always. Not completely. They started looking two da...

Book

FaceOff

Carter, on a single-minded quest for nearly two decades, unearthed the tomb of the boy king, the pharaoh Tutankhamen. He found subterranean caverns filled with priceless artifacts, hundreds of items of hammered gold, precious gems, and entire chariots crafted from exotic woods. Among those object...

Book

Worth Dying For

IT was long and detailed. Cops weren’t dumb. Fathers were automatic suspects when little girls disappeared. Margaret’s father had been Arthur Coe, universally known as Artie. At the time of his daughter’s disappearance he was thirty-seven years old. Relatively ancient for a father of an eight-yea...

Book

The Affair

I walked past the vacant lot to the diner. Lunch, for one. I ordered the cheeseburger again, and then stepped over to the phone by the door and called the Pentagon. Colonel John James Frazer. Senate Liaison. He answered on the first ring. I asked him, “What genius decided to classify that plate n...

Book

Without Fail

Spilled the files onto the passenger seat. Started the engine and kept her foot hard on the brake. Pulled her phone from her bag and flipped it open. Entered Stuyvesant's home number digit by digit and then paused with her finger resting on the call button.The phone waited patiently with the numb...

Book

A Guy Walks Into a Bar

A Jack Reacher Short Story SHE was about 19. No older. Maybe younger. An insurance company would have given her 60 more years to live. I figured a more accurate projection was 36 hours, or 36 minutes if things went wrong from the get-go. She was blond and blue-eyed, but not American. American gi...

Book

One Shot

'You were right. He reformed. He kept to his bargain. He deserves credit. And I'm sorry he's sick.' 'Now you've got to help him. You promised.' 'I am helping him. Since Monday night I haven't done anything else.' 'This is crazy,' Franklin said. 'No, it's exactly the same as it always was,' Reache...

Book

Second Son (2011)

Reacher asked, “Do you want company?” His mother said, “Of course I would like it. And I know your grandpa Moutier would love to see you again. But I could be there a couple of weeks. More, perhaps. And you have a test to take, and then school to start.” “They’ll understand. I don’t mind missing ...

Book

High Heat: A Jack Reacher Novella

He had sweated through his suit. The woman face to face with him could have been younger, but not by much. She was hot too, and scared. Or tense, at least. That was clear. The man was too close to her. She didn’t like that. It was nearly half past eight in the evening, and going dark. But not coo...
