Amanda says: Another Jack Reacher classic, this time with more complex story than I have read so far in other Reacher novels. Only one thing I didn't like, and that is too many sentences that weren't in any way connected to the plot. Especially during the car trip. As if Child just wanted to make the book longer. Other possibillity is that he wanted to show us how boring can a car ride through central USA be.It is a perfect read for putting your mind in neutral and put worries aside. For every ot...her trouble there is Jack Reacher. jenzy says: 3.5 stars to be exact. Not the best Jack Reacher novel and a bit of a weird ending as well. However, I was entertained and it had some really good parts, but I felt it left some of them hanging. For instance what happens to the eye witness who is kept in the "hotel prison"...after all he is known as missing in his town and also about the leader of the gang who is not caught and Lester who turns out to not be a known person in CIA or the State Department...is he the leader of the gang or what? Too many unknowns in the end...or does it maybe continue in the next book? Primus says: Well, its a Reacher novel and as expected it was a fast, action filled read. At one point, Child seems to kind of give up on his plot and take the easy way out to thing up the loose ends and solve the mystery. You'll K ow the point when you get to it, I don't want to spoil the story but it definitely left me unsatisfied. And what is with so many Reacher novels culminating in underground caverns or fortified bunker like structures. kiabca says: First he is a hitchhiker with a broken nose.He had repaired his nose with duct tape but since no one stopped for him, he ripped it off.At some point, I just want him to go to a doctor to get his nose fixed.Then the people who pick him up turn out to be murderers/kidnappers.Then the kidnapped woman turns out to be...And so on.Then he winds up in a huge bunker and kills lots of bad guys.He may have spent lots of time in the car, but there is still a lot of action.I just want him to get to Virginia!MoreLessRead More Read Less
