" Saw the TV show before listening to this book. Thank god I did because with the voice of the narrator I’m imagining a guy in his 60’s and Roscoe in her upper 20’s. With his voice and they way he loves on her made me think of Hugh Hefner with his playboy bunny 40 years younger than him. Love the story. Hate the narrator. "

" I was told to try this series awhile ago. I finally got around to it. The first book was fun, quick paced, and exciting. A quick escapist type read. I'll definitely read more of this series. "

" I don't usually read this kind of book, but it was ok. I'm not rushing out to read the rest of the Jack Reacher series/books, but I might read more in the future. "

" This is the first of the Jack Reacher novels and I read it fourth in the series. LOL My usual. It's premise is intriguing and the protaganist is very straight-forward. It's interesting how he thinks, but do military people with families really move THAT often? Not in my experience, but perhaps other services do that. In my experience, they tend to leave families in one place for longer periods of time. Nitpicking, I know, but there you are. If that's the most I can think of that seems off, then Mr. Child succeeds in creating a compelling protaganist and plot. "

" Lee Child is one of my favorite authors and his Jack Reacher character is the main reason. His writing is eminently readable and holds your interest throughout the story. Jack reacher, the main character embodies the qualities I think most people either aspire to or wish they already possessed. His attitude and willingness to put himself out there for his principles are truly inspirational. Sometimes the author may get carried away but overall Jack is one of the most interesting characters in modern action/adventure literature. Highly recommended. "

" Not a bad detective, brutal, but in the style of old Schwarzenegger movies. A bit unrealistic sometimes (not in action, but in its "detectiveness"), so not too believable. But not boring and easy to read. Will read some more of this author. "

" Well for fun light reads i have a max rule of 4 stars so 3 is pretty good. A lot of convenient things happened to make it all work, but it was a fun adventure and I'll definitely continue on with the series from time to time. "

" Not a bad first effort. I don't mind the short, choppy sentences and first person narrative. The thing that irked me is the tendency of every character to end their sentence with the word "right?" Someone tell this British writer that we don't do that here. "

" was curious about the "Jack Reacher" character, and I gave him a thumbs up. However, I must say that this is a guy's book...many people die and some in a very nasty manner. Will I read another in the series? Only if I can get the book from the library; I'll save my pennies otherwise. "

" The cover of this audio book proclaimed this to be an unabridged edition but that turned out not to be the case. There were many obvious gaps. I do plan to try book 2 due to the popularity of the Reacher series. "

" several of my friends were shocked to learn I had never read any Lee Child books. i see why. this was really well done, taunt action, believable, good hero, bad villains, plausible story-line and enough to keep you turning pages when you should be in bed. Got the rest of the series on my TBR now! "

" Good book, gripped me from the start :) I'm new to the Jack Reacher novels and I can see why there was an uproar about casting Tom Cruise as Reacher, what a faux pas! Reacher is a huge presence and I thoroughly enjoyed this book! :) "

" Very easy to read. What I would describe as a good summer holiday book. You don't have to think too much, the story is interesting, and it's fairly fast paced. I found the short sentences a bit annoying, which detracted from my enjoyment. Solid 3.5 stars for me. "
