Tripwire is my favorite so far

This book is written in similar layout as the first book. I liked this book the best so far. I was sort of on to what was going on.. I say sort of because the book contained a few twists that I didn't see coming. It really held my interest. I'm "hooked" on these Reacher books.

Another excellent book! After reading the first Jack Reacher thriller, I've read every one of them nonstop. Keep them coming, Lee!

Only good in the last few chapters

I was expecting something as good as the one before this. "Never go back" was great. However this one was not suspenseful at all. Only the last few chapters got my heart pumping.

This is the third Jack Reacher book & I am totally obscessed! The writing is superb and suspenseful. There is barely a chance to catch your breath on the roller coaster ride of your life.

Jack Reacher is great, Lee Child needs to do better research

Jack Reacher is a very fun character. The books are very entertaining.
But, Lee Child's misunderstanding of the American military and military life is epic. In every book he tells a back story for Reacher's childhood that no living being on Earth would have ever lived. No one moves that much, and families don't deploy to war zones. Even little things like in this book when he calls the base in Hawaii Hickam Field. It has gone back to being called that now. But it wasn't when the book was written. And it hadn't been called that since shortly after World War II. Or the fact that Air Force police are called SFs rather than MPs. These are little details that are distractions rather than details that draw you further into a book. Perhaps it's because Child is British. Maybe he thinks the military in old movies is reality. But it's really not acceptable in this era to not do better research.

Loved the movie!! And Reacher novels!!

As a female fan of Jack Reacher and Lee Childs books, I can see how Mr. Childs gave Tom Cruise rights to play the part and produce the movie. Tom Cruise brings the spirit, quiet toughness, intelligence and physicality to the role of retired MP, drifter Jack Reacher. Yes, he is not the 6'5" 200+, but, if you can't move beyond height and believe ONLY the looks of a person makes the part, then don't see the movie. I cheered, as did the rest of the audience, when Tom Cruise/Jack Reacher whooped behinds and killed the bad guy thru only an inch of hair. I guess they were Jack Reacher fans also. Hope this becomes another franchise.

Jack Reacher - not Tom Cruise

As an avid female fan of Lee Childs and Jack Reacher, I was so thrilled about the upcoming movie.....Jack Reacher come to life. Okay so NOT! 6'5" 220 lbs of brilliant character does not equate to Tom Cruise and Jack would never use a line like, "so don't play with guns"! ( yes I have seen the previews). Tom Cruise may bring the bucks to the movie only if you haven't read the books. I would never pay to see this fabulous authors character diminished in such a way and thereby destroying the vision of all future novels. As for me I will keep Jack in my imagination and leave the rest to the "I don't know Jack" fans......the movie is "reaching" for sure. Keep them coming Lee.

My favorite so far

I have only read a handful of Jack Reacher novels, but this one has more suspense and has the most interesting side story, in my opinion.

Downloads OK now! Great story

Apparently Apple has fixed the download problem, They took it off line for about a month until it was working correctly.
This is another great Jack Reacher story and this one has one of the most unpleasant adversaries yet. Reacher makes it all work out. "That's for damn sure!"
