Review

[The] craftiest and most highly evolved of Lee Child's electrifying Jack Reacher books... The truth about Reacher gets better and better. --The New York Times

Child is a superb craftsman of suspense, juggling several plots and keeping his herrings well-rouged....Best of all, this is a rare series book that reads like a stand-alone. Everything you need to know about Jack Reacher is contained within its pages. And chances are you'll want to seek out other Reacher adventures the moment you finish. --Entertainment Weekly (A-)

Jack Reacher is much more like the heir to the Op and Marlowe than Spenser ever was. --Esquire

As usual, Child's writing is superb. Not only is this thriller believable, but the descriptions of the blizzard will make readers want to hug their furnaces. Fast paced and exciting, this is highly recommended for thriller fans. --Library Journal (starred review)

Get prepared for teeth-chattering suspense....Child sets up one of his most ingenious plots in the Jack Reacher chronicles. A fiery finale will leave fans talking and speculating for weeks to come. --Madison County Herald

Child deepens the mystery considerably, providing an explosive climax that will have you tearing out your hair until Reacher's next appearance. --Miami Herald

Once again, Child spins a riveting, ticking-clock Jack Reacher adventure....It's guarantees you'll finish this one in less than 61 hours--and the jolter conclusion will shock and awe you. --Romantic Times Book Review

Implausible, irresistible Reacher remains just about the best butt-kicker in thriller-lit. --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Child keeps his foot hard on the throttle...As always, Child delivers enough juicy details about the landscape, the characters, and Reacher's idiosyncrasies to give the story texture and lower our pulse rates, if only momentarily...This is Child in top form, but isn't he always? --Booklist (starred review)

Five stars - except for the ending.

I did not like the ending. It was wrong on multiple levels. It's a surprise ending, of sorts, I didn't see coming. Some people will like it. Up until the last chapter, this was Reacher at his best. A little more introspective than usual, which I liked. And the descriptions of the cold, the ice and snow and the limitations on movement and comfort imposed by the extreme weather were brilliant. I read a lot of Nordic noir, and none of those books have chilled me to the bone like this. Brilliant writing but ultimately disappointing.

Bit drawn out. Not like the early Jack Reacher novels. Not sure what the 61 hours was all about. The best Reacher stories were those when he was on the move and left you wondering what would come next. This story was a somewhat complicated with too many sub-plots. Not a real page turner.

Jack Reacher goes all out against the bad guys!

I am gradually working my way through all the Jack Reacher books and this one was a good one - that's for damn sure! He is up against some real bad guys, both local and international. There are bikers, meth labs, intrigue - it has it all. There is also the countdown to zero hour - a great listen. I find Jack just gets better the more you read.

Another really really enjoyable read from Lee Child's. Such a great writer. Jack Reacher is so awesome character. Still so annoyed that they casted friggin Tom friggin Cruise as Jack Reacher in the movie. Grrrr.

I've read almost all of the Reacher novels. I think that most are great but there a couple that I didn't find that engrossing. This one falls into the second category. I can't say too much more without a spoiler alert

Is the book "61 Hours" only 495 pages long or have I been short changed by Amazon? The book end with Reacher returning to the 7 bikers and then....... zip!

Another Reacher adventure

Reviewed in Australia on 14 January 2017

Jack finds himself in a new town in intense cold. He makes himself invaluable to the local police force, finds himself in the middle of a drug war and, finally, kills the baddies. Oh, and he has a long-distance romance with a female military police officer. Sound familiar?

That Reacher creature.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 October 2020

I'm working my way through the Jack Reacher books in publication order. 61 hours is number 14 in the order. This means I have ploughed my way through about 50/60 hours perhaps more of the adventures of Jack.
I feel therefore qualified to make a reasonable assessment of these books. And that assessment is everyone should have 'Jack Reacher' in their lives.
He has helped me through 'lock down', taken me to impossible land, satisfied all outcomes wanted and given me all the mentioned hours of escapism and pleasure.
Mr Child incorporates most of the requirements that I love into his prose and writing. Short chapters, fluent prose, not too many big words that no one else understands. The character he has created in 'jack' is so unbelievable that he is believable in his superhuman way, a kind of genius from Mr child.
'Jack' in his 'Dirty Harry' way always gets the baddies.
If you are thinking about getting into these books and my humble opinion is worth anything, go for it.

Jack Reacher being Jack Reacher

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 December 2019

Lee Child has a basic formula and if it ain't broke, don't fix it. For those not familiar with Jack Reacher, then basically good guy meets bad guys(s) and kicks the **** out of them. 61 Hours is no different as plots go but Child's insight into how Reacher thinks through each scenario he finds himself in, never fails to draw me in. That's why i enjoy his books so much and keep coming back for more. I accept they won't be to everyones taste but worth a punt IMO.

"Thank you", Lee Child - brilliant!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 February 2015

Verified Purchase

I watched the film "Jack Reacher" before reading any of the books - Had it of been the other way round, I probably wouldn't have watched the film.

I bought "Never Go Back" with "Killing Floor" at half price almost on a whim. I started with "Killing Floor" and am currently on "The Affair" having bought every one of the series and have pre ordered anything not yet in print.

Why? I found that the character was so believable AND readable plus in each of the books I found Lee Child had inserted and described in such absorbing detail, small almost irrelevancies that were as good to read as the main storyline that they became, not just fillers as other authors insert, but real and very readable. I can't praise the series enough - each and every book has really brought back my love of reading - "Thank you", Lee Child - brilliant!!

But something was missing, action! I did end up finishing it, but then I found out I should read/buy the next book....very disappointed. Had a look at the latest book, Sentinel, but at £9.99 for the kindle version I shall not be buying! Too expensive for a three star book with not much action at all! 61 hours, not recommended

61 Hours to what exactly........?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 August 2012

Verified Purchase

I enjoyed this book as I have all of Reacher's adventures, having read a number of them a few times over.
61 Hours has a great story and once again the location acts a major character in its own right (extreme cold this time in contrast to the extreme heat in Echo Burning).
I do, however, have a problem with the title and therefore the rather contrived plot device of a 61 hour countdown.
SPOILER ALERT
Not wishing to spoil it for anyone who has not read the book, the countdown is to a random event, not something pre-determined, not a grand plot with ticking bomb as it would be with a Bond baddie, but a completely arbitary happening that Jack himself instigates.
This makes for a rather disappointing conclusion. I felt a little conned, believing the countdown and indeed the title to be relevant.
What next..? "21 Minutes" as our hero waits for his next haircut? "7 Hours and 4 Minutes" until Jack wakes up after a good nights sleep?
Another great story, just don't get too hung up on the countdown.
