This series is not my usual but it is a great one.
Jack Reacher is a great character and the author's descriptions put you right in the scene. Characters come to life and the action doesn't stop, and neither will you until you read them all. I am working on #10 and I haven't been disappointed yet.

While it's riddled with cliches and unlikely coincidences, they are _fun_ cliches and unlikely coincidences. I couldn't put the damned thing down!

Poor Jack Reacher..... the guy can't even help a woman hobbling on a crutch with her dry cleaning without getting into trouble. As luck would have it, the woman on a crutch happens to be the daughter of a high-ranking military officer and (after Reacher takes her dry cleaning) a kidnapping victim. Since he is in the wrong place at the wrong time, Reacher is kidnapped as well. I don't want to give too much of the plot away, so suffice it to say that this book will keep you turning the pages. Great story.

In the wrong place at the wrong time, Reacher gets swept into a plot to kidnap a young, politically-connected, female FBI agent. by a deadly group of Montana militia bent on using her to mount a major threat to the government. Lots of vicarious thrills as the former MP, of heroic proportions and consummate fighting skills, takes on the challenge of attempting her rescue. I ate it up.

Excellent thriller! Can NOT believe the author is a Brit! The American scenes and military information are right on. Jack Reacher is a man I could really sink my teeth into. Give me more Jack!

If you like the Jack Reacher character, you'll love him in this book. Classic Reacher.
ANOTHER EXCELLENT BOOK
Not his best but atill a good read
Another suspense filled novel from Lee Child. Reacher saves the day for an FBI agent, Holly Johnson, and for the USA to boot! The military survival cult in Montana never saw what was coming, or what hit them when Jack Reacher showed up! Fun read.
The Reacher character is great, and I have read four others. This was my *least* favorite!
Love Jack Reacher---don't miss this series!
In a quiet Chicago suburb, a dentist is attacked in his office and forced into the trunk of his own car. On a sidewalk downtown, Jack Reacher and an unknown woman are abducted in broad daylight. Reacher and the mysterious woman are held hostage for ransom. With only their wits and a mutual trust, she and Reacher must escape from a wilderness prison and the grasp of a man bent on revenge. Good story with lots of action. Must read if you're following the Jack Reacher series.
Typical Reacher, they are all good. I am trying to catch up on earlier ones that I had not read and was not disappointed
good
Better than the first one!
Loved this book as well as all other books by Lee Child! What a writer! What an imagination! He keeps you in suspense and just when you think you MIGHT know the answers, he turns the game around completely. Love all of his books!
Enjoyed the book but found the descriptions of the technical aspects of firearms a bit too much. Eventually began to skip those sections. The basic plot was very engaging.
This was my second Jack Reacher book and I am so hooked! Another great storyline and I love Reacher's character. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series!

My second Jack Reacher novel and it was terrific. I'm hoping to read all of Lee Child's thrillers. Great story, intriguing hero, well written, fast paced.
Another great Jack Reacher Novel. Jack is a great hero and a ladies man. very tense from the first opening scene.
Excellent action and thrilling plot. Can't wait to read the next book in the Jack Reacher series.
fantastic - starts fast and never slows down.
