Boring and Unthrilling July 5, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've read every Lee Child and some of them such as The Visitor or Killing Floor have amazing suspense and excitement. This one is totally pedestrian with no suspense at all. My advice, read something else and save some money!
Where does Jack Reacher go next? July 5, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have read and enjoyed all the Jack Reacher novels, but like the other reviewers was very disappointed with "Nothing to Lose". Whilst all the plots have pushed the boudaries of plausibility, the structure and pace of the writing has always kept me interested. This time I felt no spark at all and got the impression that the author was as bored writing the story as I was reading it. There is also the problem of maintaining Jack's credibility as a hard man and magnet to women as he approaches 50. With his dreadful diet and lack of regular exercise, he is getting to the stage where bar room brawling might best be practised in flashback. Like most Reacher fans I would like to see the character developed. The team approach in "Bad luck and Trouble" did work well and there must be scope to change Jack's life style to meet the passage of time without him losing the raw edge that makes him what he is.
Worst book I have ever read!!!! July 5, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
As with many successfull authors Lee Child is now taking his readers for granted.If he continues on this route he will soon loose his following
Terrible July 5, 2008 4 out of 5 found this review helpful
This was the slowest, most boring plot I`ve read in a long time. I am a Reacher fan so I finished the book, but if it was anyone else but Lee Child I would have put it in the bin.
NOTHING TO GAIN....SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE TITLE July 3, 2008 AN AVID REACHER FAN, THIS DISAPPOINTED ME IN REGARDS TO THE OUTRAGEOUS STORY LINE. LEE CHILDS WAS TRYING TOO HARD TO PUT OVER A POLITICAL MESSAGE AND GOT LOST UP HIS OWN SUB-PLOT.
