I disliked this novel, maybe because I'm missing a Y chromosome. First, the style of the prose and voice of the first person narrator, Jack Reacher, really irked me. The style reminded me of irritatingly faux Hemingway. Spare, choppy with lots of short declarative sentences and sentence fragments. Here's a sample paragraph from fairly early on that's typical:I stayed leaning up on the bars, motionless. Baker signaled Hubble to walk with him around the far side of the squad room. Toward the rosew...
A friend had “very highly” recommended Jack Reacher novels to me a long time back. I had add a few Reacher novels to my TBR but never got around to reading one. A few weeks back, during the Goodreads Mystery & Thriller Week – I saw Killing Floor in the top 100 mystery & thriller novels list. It renewed my interest in the series and luckily I found the book in my library.I can sum up the novel in two words: ENTERTAINING POTBOILER!!! The book introduces us to Jack Reacher, formerly of the US Mli...
My name is Jack Reacher. No middle name. No address.💓💓💓2022I decided to re-read Killing Floor for "Reacher" show on Amazon. It's been a long time and I only remember bits and parts. Okay... I remember nothing except one very important supporting character and completely blank on the mystery. My first read was in print so I went with listening for my second time. I love Dick Hill's narration and I'm sad that he decided to retire.Jack Reacher took a midnight bus from Tampa. Around eight in the mor...
This is the book that introduced Lee Child's popular character, Jack Reacher in 1997. Reacher is a former military cop who's been made redundant by the end of the cold war. After spending his entire life in the military (Reacher grew up in a military family), he's now completely on his own, footloose and fancy-free. After spending much of his life abroad, he's wandering about the country, getting to know the U.S. up close and personal. As will continue to be the case, Reacher travels light, with...
Absolutely compelling and pageturning thriller on a mysterious murder case.

What triggers his decision to become active in this case? What is at stake? And what is behind that mysterious Kilner foundation? Great characters (Finlay, Roscoe, but also the bad guys), precise description and a fine main character,...

Some very minor spoilers in this...Okay, I don't get it.There is mass appeal for the Jack Reacher series, there's been a movie made, Lee Child is making a gazillian dollars off it.I also heard a pretty reputable BBC book review panel podcast where they were going absolutely bonkers over the series.Well, I'm at 320 pages and the thought of plowing through 204 more has about as much appeal as chewing toenails.First off, I'm sick of reading about this guy who, as a vagrant, wanders into town, gets
I kept hearing about this series, but never started it because I had the impression it was men's fiction, like Rambo or something. But, I noticed a lot of women were reading it, so I decided to try it. It was a book everyone would enjoy, not just men. The plot was interesting, involving counterfeiting. I didn't trust anyone! There's many twist, a lot of action, a little romance. There were some things though that were over the top. Reacher was invincible. One guy against four and he doesn't even...
