This book receives good reviews, dont be fooled. This book is rubbish! from start to finish. The story has a flimsy plot. The characters are shallow. The book lacks any originality, and the main character is just a combination of every other invincible contrived "anti hero". Honestly, this book is absolute garbage.

Child's 1st Reacher outing March 23, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

What can I say about Lee Child? I love the mans work, i'm not reading the novels in order as first I read was One Shot which I thought was storming and could not put it down. I own paperbacks killing floor to The hard way and have read One shot, tripwire, persuader & most recently killing floor when I was traveling to Central America last year which funnily enough took me through a stop over in Atlanta so on flight home I could very easily relate and picture the hotel area, the closenest of the climate in the region and more so passing through the airport. All said I've enjoyed this book and all the others as i guess, every guy wants to be a Reacher, I know I would :) He gets the girl, in situations where normal bloke would brick it, Reacher just goes to it, if someone has to be sorted out, or gets in his way, he takes them out... Almost an old western Clint Eastwood style. i hope someday somebody says "Hey, lets make one of these Child novels into a film" I'd go watch it.

I have to admit I only got half way through this book so my review is not of the book as a whole. Unfortunately, I could not force myself to read on further. I am afraid the writing is juvenile: steel, blue eyed hero mashing baddies. Nothing wrong with this I guess but the likes of Stephen Hunter do it far better, read Pale Horse Coming for example.

Latin reader November 11, 2007

A great read and a great character. BUT surely the author should have contacted a Latin teacher before publishing. "e unum pluribus" means nothing. "e" is a preposition which is followed by the noun in the ablative case; "pluribus" is in the ablative meaning "with more (things)".
The correct translation for the phrase "more out of one" would be "plura ex uno". A small point no doubt, and the correct translation would not have fitted so well into the plot. Have now said my piece and can move on "librum secundum legere".

My second "Reacher" read, a totally brilliant book, twists, turns, and that urge to carry on turning the pages although you really should be elswhere... Lee Child, you got a great talent, dont stop writing, you got the edge man.....
