In the earlier day, Jack Reacher is what he is, hard and tough and want nothing to live one day at a time. Trouble find him, or there wouldn't be a story. And in the process, he found a woman he knew when she was still a teenager. Now she is no longer a teenager, they could be together. Th...

Thankfully, Tripwire didn't follow the same pattern as the previous two books but it wasn't as exciting. Some parts dragged terribly for me - why did we need so many descriptions of people dressing and undressing? - and there wasn't so much action. Also, I couldn't believe the villain had spent 30 y...

"The humiliation scenes were too hard bitten for me"I found listening to the first two Reacher novels soothing, Child's sparse, almost documentary-style prose with its focus on facts and street names and physical routines, combined with McClain's calm but never dull voice, create a rhythm that I enj...

The best Reacher in the series so far, by a fairly long shot. Reacher is drifting (poorly as he's actually holding down two jobs) in the Florida Keys when he's tracked down by a Private Investigator. Denying that he's the main the man is searching for, he turns up dead pretty quickly. Suddenly Reach...

audiobook-I never thought there would be a day when I DNF'd a Lee Child book, especially after spending $24 on the audiobook version, but here it is.The "romance" parts of Lee Child's books are never a strong point. This one is worse in that Jack is constantly remembering how much he lusted after h...

I've read a lot of the more recent Jack-none-Reacher books so this book is decidedly different. Something about these early books has Reacher more vulnerable and questioning his life choices. I can't give away spoilers without annoying people, but suffice to say I really want to read the follow-up t...
