Classic Reacher (this time with Holly)

Reviewed in Australia on 23 July 2020

Verified Purchase

I was given the 1st book and the last book (at the time) Blue Moon - both for presents. I liked them both (Killing Floor better) I thought I would venture between the bookends and read what's in the middle. Both books have lots in common but the things I found most common were: (a) you wonder "how in the hell is Reacher going to get out of this", (b) the last paragraph in each chapter tend to have a twist that causes the reader to keep reading - even into the wee hours of the night, and (c) Reacher's love affairs are very subtle and leave heaps to the imagination.
Just a warning though.... do not read a Reacher book before you turn lights out to go to sleep (that is unless you can sleep with your heart racing, your adrenaline pumping, and a partner who constantly nags about when are you going to turn the light out....) ;-)

Awesome read

Reviewed in Australia on 16 December 2016

Jack was just trying to be a gentleman and hold the door for a woman with a crutch, and a handful of dry cleaning. How has he now ended up surrounded, handcuffed, kidnapped and bundled into a car alongside her by three men with a gun pointed firmly at him?? Is he the innocent bystander or is she? I love the Jack Reacher series lots of action to keep you turning page after page way past your bedtime.

Fast start; slow finish

Reviewed in Australia on 6 February 2016

Verified Purchase

Very fast-paced, exciting beginning. However, about halfway through, got bogged down in detail and seemed to go nowhere for awhile. I finished the book but, overall, it felt pretty average. This is the third book I've read in this series and will probably leave it and move on to other things.

Getting better

Reviewed in Australia on 13 April 2014

Verified Purchase

If you like a thriller where the hero is just a little (maybe more than a little) mean but righteous then this is the series for you. The story lines are not predictable & despite all Jack prevails in the end. Its not fairyland though & not everyone comes out of it ok at the end. Bit like real life. A wild ride worth taking.

Bit of a twist, fair bit of gore, women with half a brain. Not bad as fiction goes.

Gripping, exciting and still quite 'believable', well written characters for the most part, a little shallow on some but nothing offensive, great descriptive details. Will buy the next one as we'll.

Thrilling, but . . .

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 December 2018

Verified Purchase

I'm sure I'm going to make myself unpopular with this, but...
I read a lot of whodunits and crime stories, so I thought I'd like the Jack Reacher stuff (only very recently picked up on it)
I had to push myself to get through book 1. Even so, I thought there was a lot to like about the story telling. It was quite gripping stuff, so I thought I'd try book 2 to see if Lee Child had got certain stuff out of his system and could now settle down to utilise his obvious story telling skills.
But apparently not.
Mr Childs' has a compulsion to go in for macho BS - in my opinion.
And as a Brit, he has clearly embraced the American gun culture, because he is obsessed with the things. I don't mind them being part of the story, but they become the story at times. Not pleasant.
This second book had at its core a storyline that was worth following - but - it was overlaid with even more of the macho BS than book 1.
Also, in my view, the plot development contained too many flaws, too many times when I was shouting in my head - why did he do that? or why didn't he do this?
I nearly gave up on it, but that's a bad thing to do with any book once you're a certain way in, so I kept going. Honestly, I was glad to get to the end - for the wrong reasons.
I doubt I'll read another one - trouble is, I've already purchased a signed copy of his book 23!
Sorry Mr Childs' - I guess I'm just not the right demographic. The gun worship is just too much - and don't get me wrong; my father was a gamekeeper and I've used guns and I'm a reasonable shot, but . . . .

Needs a pacemaker

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 October 2020

Verified Purchase

I bought the first two books in the light of thoroughly enjoying the recent Tom Cruise films. Lee Child is a much more successful author than me but if the second is as poor as this then it will be the last Jack Reacher novel I ever read.
Pace: occasional frenzy of sharks feeding but most of the time it's a sea cucumber rolling across the ocean floor. Too much padding, to much doing very little. I had to force myself to continue.
Action: graphically violent, gratuitously violent. Very nasty in ways which are suitable for slasher voyeurs rather than fans of action novels. Do you really need to know a young man was raped in prison until he died, and found to have a pint of semen in his stomach? Me neither.
Characters: none that I really took to. Jack Reacher comes across very one-dimensionally and the supporting characters have similar depth. I didn't dislike the criminals enough to care much when they were brought to book. They were just sick people.
Overall, I was disappointed with the book. It reminded me of the Jason Bourne. Excellent, fast paced films with a strong back-story, but the books were tedious. I endured two and a half before giving up on them.
Not recommended, but that's just my opinion based on reading books for over 50 years. I know what I like.

Enjoyable reading.... at times. Full of padding.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 October 2018

Verified Purchase

Al though I enjoy reading the Reacher books mostly, many of the chapters are full of waffle and padding and inconsequential descriptions of unnecessary things.
Descriptions a page or two long of how a bullet is discharged from a rile and waffle about the gasses emitted and the speed the bullet goes. WHO CARES! Cut to the chase. Child's books could be a 100 pages shorter without the guff.

Predictable

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 June 2020

Verified Purchase

I was recommended the Jack Reacher books by a friend. I started at book 1 and progressed to book3. However, I need not have bothered because the story is essentially the same. Reacher stumbles into a dangerous situation, meets lovely lady, eliminates the bad guys, and walks away leaving lover=ly lade behind, The End! Moreover, Child is guilty of an overuse of the words 'shrug' and 'shrugged' which appear on every three or four pages. Once noticed, these words leap off the page and become a constant irritation. Read one of the series by all means but after that you will know the basic plot of all rest.

Too much minutiae!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 February 2021

Verified Purchase

I read and enjoyed the first Reacher book. So I was looking forward to reading the 2nd, but I found that the book had a lot of padding and detailed descriptions (too detailed) for example describing how a bullet travels from a gun in such a way that I found the minutiae unnecessary and too drawn out. I often felt that he needed to pick up the pace of the story! However there was a story that seemed worth pursuing, I will give Reacher another try.
