One of Reacher's best

Personal: A Jack Reacher Novel
by Lee Child
Random House Publishing Group - Bantam Dell


The Reacher series is the best out there for readers who enjoy contemporary, realistic suspense fiction.  This book may be the best in the series. And this review will fail to communicate just how good a read it is.

What's different about this book
If the reader isn't familiar with the Jack Reacher persona, this story (19th in the series) will be a great introduction.  If the reader has read all of the Reacher novels (or only some), this will be a great follow-up.  The story line and character development extend our understanding of who Reacher is and how he rolls.  It makes for such a great, fun read!  By the end of the book, we are more aware than ever of just how smart he is, how strategically he understands situations and people, and how fun it is to read this series.  There are many series where, by #19, we are left wanting more.

What I'll do now that I've read it
For libraries where I influence purchases, and for my friends who savor an engaging read, copies will be made available.  I am excited to be able to share this with my friends and patrons, both those who already know Reacher and Lee Childs, and those who have yet to experience the pleasure.
