I enjoy the Jack Reacher books. I've dipped into the stream here and there, and I'm pretty sure I read the book right before this one, as the events he has just come from sound very familiar. And this is another fine entry. Child writes very enjoyable mystery thrillers. They aren't deep, but they ar...
While sticking to the basic formula of Reacher kicks bad guys' butts, Child manages to change it up a little. In some ways, Reacher's an anachronism, and if serious modern technology was used with strategy against him, he'd be in trouble. It starts to look as though he will be outnumbered when profe...
9/30/12 ** Well, on the second read, a very good book. However, after re-reading 61 Hours, Worth Dying For, and A Wanted Man in quick succession, I have some quibbles. Child presents these as happening in quick succession. Having a meth ring, white slave ring, and middle-eastern banking scheme in...
Worth Dying For gets an easy 4 stars. Jack Reacher formula intact—find situation requiring justice, apply investigative talents, use massive fists and firepower against bad people, resolve problem to detriment of bad guys’ health, disappear into the mist. I took away a star because the explanation ...
Pretty typical Jack Reacher novel with all the good stuff(out-thinking the bad guys) and practically none of the bad stuff (tedious details about his clothing and hygiene habits). This one takes place in Nebraska and Reacher is up against a family of men who have been ruling their small town, not ve...
Them Cornhuskers oughta stuck to huskin' corn, cuz they shore ain't no match for Jack Reacher! He can outthink and outfight and just plain outCOOL everyone who tangles with him. This one was very satisfying. It was reminiscent of the older Reacher novels---totally unbelievable and all the more fu...
Three and a half stars. While sticking to the basic formula of Reacher kicks bad guys' butts, Child manages to change it up a little. In some ways, Reacher's an anachronism, and if serious modern technology was used with strategy against him, he'd be in trouble. It starts to look as though he will...
I enjoy Lee Child the way I enjoy running three miles on a treadmill: sure, I never go anywhere, and every step is pretty mindlessly repetitive of prior steps (and the many times I've run this route before), and at this point three miles isn't terribly challenging. But I get to listen to loud angry...
