It is fun to go back and see how Jack became the famous Jack Reacher we all know and love. However, as with most of his books, there is just too much nothing in the middle and it's really starting to annoy me. The main reason I keep reading is because we listen to the books in the car and it definit...
Book 16, in the Jack Reacher series“The Affair” is effectively a step back in time to 1997, the single most crucial point in Reacher’s life, when he gave up his structured career as a military cop and decided to become a drifter with skills to offer. In this undercover adventure, he lets his hair gr...
I'm going to have to say this is one of my favorite Jack Reacher novels. The story goes back to 1997 and explains what led up to Reacher leaving the army. It also explains Reacher's eccentricities in a way I found totally believable. I'm ready to let go of my "Oh c'mon, why would he do that?" attitu...
I should give The Affair zero stars just on principle. Lee Child apparently agrees with the casting of that little dickhead Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher. Really? YGBSM!! There is no freaking way that Cruise can remotely approach the kick-ass power of Reacher in a fight with a group of bad guys. Here i...
As my second book in the Jack Reacher series (although #16 in publication and a prequel in sequence), The Affair wasn't a shabby audio read at all. The narrator Dick Hill has a terse, noirish delivery that adds to the story. He sounds a bit older than I would associate with Reacher, but he definitel...
Audiobook...narrated by Dick Hill.Lee Child and his Jack Reacher series has been a favourite of mine for years...this, however, was not up to his usual standards.This book goes back in time to when Jack was still in the Army and gives us an insight into the reason he left and why he chose the life o...
This story is set in 1997 and it takes us back to a younger Jack Reacher who is still with the military. When a dead body turns up pointing fingers to a soldier from a nearby military base, Jack Reacher is sent undercover to a small town in Mississippi. At the same time another MP is officially sent...
a fair mystery but very long in the conclusion. Seemed to continue to circle the runway like it was afraid to land. That was my first Reacher book and probably my last.
OK. First, be fair, it is a fast read. Not his best, but still fun. So it still deserved a 4, or maybe 3 and a half stars.What's wrong. The plot is a bit too simple. A conspiracy right from the start, just who is responsible for this mess. But the fights become unnecessary, as he didn't just fight t...
