And the adventure continues - can't put it down.

Reviewed in Australia on 26 August 2020

Although Lee Child seems to have his critics regarding the length of his books and with the detail he goes into to describe a particular situation, I find that he goes to great length to paint mind pictures as though you are watching the movie. I'm now onto Book 5 and will most likely work my way through them all. Great story and a great character. I'd like to have been Reacher.

MG Hammer

Another boring outing for Jack

Reviewed in Australia on 2 November 2016

This is my third Jack Reacher and despite people talking about Jack Reacher novels as being action packed they are uniformly boring. Hundreds of pages pass before you get to a good scene and it is not worth the effort. You also rapidly get to dislike the fact he always gets the good looking girl and yet does not draw too much attention from the bad guys despite being so tall. People criticised Tom Cruise for playing Jack Reacher because he is short but in reality you would need to be about his size to blend in. Each book needs editing to remove about 100 or so pages. Very sloppy.

OK, the 2-star rating is just because I'm comparing it with the best fictional books I've ever read. That's not to say there's not a lot to like about all the JRs I've loaded into my kindle, but they don't stand up against my favourites, because Child doesn't seem to be able to maintain his highish standard throughout the whole story. There are times when the plot just sags, it's as if there are two writers who take turns at being Lee Child and one of them's not that good. But I'll keep reading them because the good bits are excellent, in my humble opinion. You get the impression Child's gonna nail it one day, and you want to be there when he does.

Another Jack Reacher book

I went through a stage when I read most of these before I got a bit tired of the violence. Entertaining enough, certainly better than Clancy or Wilbur Smith.

I like Lee Child as an author and particularly enjoy the Jack Reacher books. The story lines hold my interest until the endings which usually have an interesting twist. Tripwire had an unexpected outcome, kept me entertained from start to finish. I plan to read all of the Jack Reacher books and look forward to each new plot.

Loved the way the story breaks up to each individual in detail to converge to the ending. Fantastic book, highly recommended!

Maybe Liam Hemsworth would have been a better Jack: )

Have read these out of order and now returned to the beginning to follow Jack's story in sequence. Don't think Tom Cruise did justice to Jack. Maybe Liam Hemsworth would have been a better Jack :)

Adventure packed and a rollicking read as usual.

Can't remember when I have read so many books by the same author and keep looking for more. Love the character Jack Reacher and all the plots and places he finds himself in.
