 Finding Small Town AmericaMar 03, 2010
The book is very good at capturing the essence of small town America. There are the simple loving long time residents, corrupt politicians, good and bad cops as well as all kinds of colorful personalities living their lives in a small corner of America. Reacher wanders into the turbelent lives of a number of lifetime residents and finds himself in a life and death struggle to find meaning and salvation for his lonely wandering lifestyle. He uses the skills he learned while in the military to survive the excesses of organized crime and come to terms with his relationship with his murdered brother. The audio reader was wonderful and the story was riveting.
I heart Jack Reacher!Feb 25, 2010
I purchased this book years ago only because I had finished my book and had a long plane ride in front of me. I was incredibly wowed by this book - I am glad I had finished that other book.
I instantly adored the Jack Reacher character. Even though sometimes it seems he gets out of situations that no other human could possibly survive, I still like the character and enjoy the books. I've since read all of Lee Child's books but I think this is still my favorite.
This is a fast-paced thriller that starts off with immediate action on page 1, as in most of Child's novels. The Killing Floor is definitely a page turner.
I liked the character, the action, and the ending that surprised me.
I always look forard to the next book in the Jack Reacher series. It never disappoints!
Good guys win again!Feb 22, 2010
As usual, an action packed good guys beat bad guys story. Hey, it might be corny and full of cliches but during these politically correct times, I LOVE IT! More more more!
Great entertainmentFeb 21, 2010
OK, so Lee Child isn't exactly Tolstoy or Dickens, and his hero is a misanthropic thug, but who hasn't daydreamed about being a non-person, wandering about using wits, wiles, and fists to right injustices and settle scores? And that's Jack Reacher who does not try to subvert or trick the system with false IDs and such. He takes the bus, pays cash, buys new clothing when the old stuff wears out. No family, no friends, no entanglements, no regrets - a strong, self-reliant character who floats on the surface, diving deeper only when he feels an injustice has been done. The premise is strained, no doubt, but the writing is just good enough to make it readable. I find it a guilty pleasure and enjoy watching Reacher get himself into and out of difficult circumstances, trying to make things right. So, yep, most of the one- and two-star reviewers are correct, but then they probably think James Bond is not entertaining. If you don't much care for Bond, Reacher won't please you much either, for Reacher is the crude American cousin to Bond. Who says sociopaths aren't entertaining?
#1 ReacherFeb 02, 2010
I started the Jack Reacher series somewhere near the end. After being bit by the bug, so to speak, I came back to the start and am proceeding to go through them all. Lee Child has really got a good character going with "Reacher".
