Great page turner. July 12, 2008
This is the first Lee Child book I've read, and it won't be the last.
The plot is well-structured and well-paced, and the characters are likeable, believable and well-described. The end twist is quite well-done, and less predictable than other reviewers have made out (it may be more obvious for regular Child readers).
That said, this book is not without its faults. I found it quite difficult to get into at the start, and the female agent love interest is not particularly believable, nor is it neccessary (when are they I ask myself). It ends a little too quickly for me aswell.
That said, these are minor points really, the central story is very well-done. This is a definite page-turner, and keeps you coming back for more.
 Love Reacher - too predictable June 20, 2008
First of all I would like to say I love the Jack Reacher series. In this book especially I love his pure arrogance, he doesn't care whether he helps the FBI or not (although we all know he does really), we also get an insight into his inner struggle of whether he wants to be a roamer (makes him sound like a zombie!) or to be anchored down. The storyline in this book is actually really intriguing and the dialogue is as fast and snappy as ever, you love knowing that Reacher is always one step ahead. So why the 3 stars? From around the 150 pages mark, I knew then ending - it was just so obvious and couldn't really be anything else. Whilst I usually have a certain satisfaction when I solve the mystery of a book (not very often) - I was praying that I was wrong in this instance. In fact anything that came after that, whilst well written etc etc (and all the other praise I could throw at Lee Child's excellent books) merely confirmed my theory. It was a shame as this was an excellent read just to predictable.
Good, but May 10, 2008

Pacy, lots of action, keeps you turning the pages, but...
The answer is obvious about half-way through and the misdirections are a little clumsy.
The murderer's method takes a lot of suspended disbelief; it reminded me of a Wilkie Collins device.
There are too many instances where Reacher knows but the reader doesn't. It stops you feeling as though you are on the same journey as him. (He also starts coming across as a little smug.)
Lee Child is something of a master, but this is not his masterpiece.
 Possibly the best Reacher novel April 15, 2008

My husband and I are hooked on the Jack Reacher novels (as we are Michael Connelly's Bosch novels). I could not put this particular one down.I was gripped from the first to the last page. I have to admit that this one completly fooled me - with a completly unexpected ending - I won't say anymore as it could spoil it for you!
I think the best plot of the series ... so far April 5, 2008

I've read most but not all of the Jack Reacher series. I think The Vistor has the best detective plot. It kept me guessing throughout the book and then when the conclusion came - it made perfect sense. Sometimes this doesn't happen in the books - the plots are always good but sometimes they are obvious enough to work out or sometimes frankly bizarre. This one is right on the money and I recommend it without reservation.
