"#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "The indomitable Reacher burns up the pages."- USA Today

"Four people in a car, hoping to make Chicago by morning. One man driving, another telling stories that don't add up. A woman in the back, silent and worried. And a hitchhiker with a broken nose. An hour behind them, the FBI descends on an old pumping station where a man was stabbed to death-the knife work professional, the killers nowhere to be seen. All Jack Reacher wanted was a ride to Virginia. All he did was stick out his thumb. But he soon discovers he has hitched more than a ride. He has tied himself to a massive conspiracy, in which nothing is what it seems, and nobody is telling the truth.

"Furious action . . . Lee Child keeps the pacing swift and the surprises rolling. . . . A feverishly thrilling series." -The Miami Herald
"Smart, breathless . . . with one of the best female characters in the whole Reacher series."- The New York Times

"Subtle and nuanced with seductive writing and irresistible plot twists." -Newsweek

Reacher is back in a masterpiece of suspense from #1 "New York Times"-bestselling author Lee Child. As the tension rises, the twists come fast and furious, keeping readers guessing and gasping until the explosive finale."

I thought the book was a good read. Throughout the book Lee Child keeps you guessing and on the edge of your seat. There are so many twists and turns it makes for an interesting read. People aren't who you think they are and things don't happen like you think they will. . . or should. I've read other people's reviews as well as spoken with some people who have read previous Jack Reacher novels and they've said this is Lee Child's worst book. I've not read any of the other books, so to me this book is good. To those who have read Lee Child's work before, they say this book isn't very good.  So, here is the review from a reader who hasn't read any other Lee Child books.

There were a few slow parts. For the readers who like math and numbers, you will especially enjoy this book, since Jack Reacher is always calculating, counting, adding, or subtracting some kind of arithmetic problem or creating arithmetic problems out of things like the "PRNDL" on your gear shift. Yes, you read that correctly. So, unless you are as crazy about math as Jack Reacher is, all the arithmetic will seem boring and unnecessary to you. There are a lot of repetitive things in this book. Many repeated conversations, phrases, sentences, and scenes. Which can get very boring. Some parts of the book are long and boring.

Although, his odd fascination with numbers is just another thing that makes Jack Reacher who he is. Jack Reacher is a very intelligent, cleaver, knowledgeable, smart character. He is ex-military cop and he is very knowledgeable about most anything.

The author done a very good job with the female character in this book. She is a smart, fearless, dedicated FBI agent who wants nothing more than to do what's right and get justice. Though, I wish her fate in the book could have been different, her character is very good.

There is a lot of violence and fighting in this book as well as a little mild language. So, this book may not be one for younger children, since there are some scenes in the book that may be frightening for them.

So, my final conclusion? This book was fairly good. I would recommend it to be read. So, if you are into mysteries, murder, crime, suspense, then pick up this book the next time you head to your Public Library, or buy it here for your book collection.
