Book Reviews of Without Fail (Jack Reacher, Bk 6)

Hooked from the first sentence. Jack Reacher has to find an assassin. I love these books. The character development keeps me coming back.

This is probably the 6th "Jack Reacher" novel that I have read, and it did not disappoint. I could not put the book down! Lots of interesting facts(?) about the secret service - at least they sound plausible.

Typical Lee Child page-turning thriller featuring Jack Reacher working with the Secret Service to protect the Vice President. Clever, exciting and unpredictable, but over the top enough that it requires some efforts to suspend disbelief.

3.5 stars out of 5

I love all of Lee Child's Books...this one does not disappoint.

Another great Reacher book!

Reacher elbows a couple of guys in the head, but only shoots one guy. He's becoming quite restrained as he ages.

Great Reacher book. Kept me up most of the night. It's one of his best. If you like bigger than life heros, this series is one you should not miss.

I'm reading the Jack Reacher series in order, and this is hands down my favorite so far. The Secret Service has always fascinated me, which no doubt played a factor in my enjoyment of the book, and I could barely put it down. This book also made me very appreciative that I had read the books in order and understood his past.

Another Reacher book I couldn't put down.Holds you from the first chapter to the end.Charlie Heckelman

As always with Lee Child's Reacher books, a great read.

Another good Lee Child read. I've tried to read these in order, though, and feel the prior 5 are better. This one gets a bit too hung up on inconsequential details, but they're "skippable."

Great read!

Another good Reacher story, holds you in suspense all the way thru. Excellent read.

I loved all the Jack Reacher books and this was no exception. The story was great, moved very fast and kept me up to the last page.

This is one of his best Jack Reacher books.

Great read.

Reacher Rocks!

This is the 6th in Jack Reacher series and I enjoy each new one as much as the previous ones

A little 'formulaic' for my tastes.

Looking for his latest. Lee keeps you moving in this one too.

Jack Reacher again

Lee Child is my favorite suspence writer of the moment...and he does NOT disappoint, once a gain. A great read!!

another great Reacher book by Childs

A great book. Keeps you guessing until the end.

In another great thriller, former military man and supreme go-it-aloner Jack Reacher is called upon by his deceased brother's former girlfriend to assist her in her new job, that of head of the Secret Service detail protecting the Vice President-elect.

A good new author for me, will have to read his other books.

he sixth time's a charm for thriller meister Child, whose latest escapade starring ex-military cop Jack Reacher is handily his most accomplished and most compelling to date. The suspense-laden plot kicks off with U.S. Secret Service agent M.E. Froelich telling Reacher: "I want to hire you to assassinate the Vice President of the United States." V-p-elect Brook Armstrong has received a series of anonymous death threats, and Froelich needs to uncover their source and ascertain the effectiveness of Armstrong's security detail. Reacher agrees to masquerade as an assassin because he can't resist a challenge and because Froelich had loved his older brother, Joe, a Secret Service colleague killed in a botched operation. As Reacher pieces together an increasingly frustrating puzzle, Child ratchets up the excitement with several breathtaking set pieces, including a Thanksgiving dinner for D.C.'s homeless that turns deadly, a jaw-dropping coup de th‚ƒtre and a slam-bang finale in Wyoming's mountains. He even extracts tension from mundane events, as when Reacher searches for clues on a security video of an office cleaning crew. The novel's detailed insider's view of political skullduggery is certain to intrigue readers, and the various characters' relationships, handled with careful restraint, provide an added layer the growing attachment between Froelich and Reacher; both characters' recollections of Joe; Reacher's regard for Frances Neagley, a former colleague whom he calls in for help. And then there's Reacher himself, the stolid, flawed man's man who gives no quarter on any level. Indeed, the novel's final line serves as a pr‚cis of this quietly fascinating character: "He headed west for the Port Authority and a bus out of town." This Child's play will be a tough act to follow.

An excellent read - another great book in the Jack Reacher series!

I couldn't get into this book at all. I tried but I was unable to so I gave up on it. I knew someone wanted it that is why I am posting it.

They don't come any better.
