Reacher is pulled into confrontation with a sniper he put in prison years earlier--but by whom and for what purpose? ( ) I actually enjoyed this reacher book probably the most out of the 10 or so I have read. I feel like Jack has a little bit more of a personality then usual in this book. Some of his lines and comments are funny. "…if it's some big terrorist statement … it's probably not Italy. I mean, who would notice? Those guys change every three weeks anyway." One of my favorite lines in probably the whole series. I felt like there was a lot of information in this one; gun information and information about France. This installment definitely had a very strong James Bond type storyline. Reacher goes up against London gangs to find a sniper bent on killing him. I have been in one of the worst reading slumps ever, and Jack Reacher was just the ticket to kick my butt into reading again. I finished this in two days and it felt marvelous. Reacher is predictable. He does the right thing with very little fuss and frills. This story was predictable as well, but in all the right ways. There was no mind-blowing reveal for me at the end, but I didn't care because the journey was fun along the way. no reviews | add a review

HTML:#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Jack Reacher returns in another fast-moving, action-packed, suspenseful book from Lee Child. You can leave the army, but the army doesn’t leave you. Not always. Not completely, notes Jack Reacher—and sure enough, the retired military cop is soon pulled back into service. This time, for the State Department and the CIA. Someone has taken a shot at the president of France in the City of Light. The bullet was American. The distance between the gunman and the target was exceptional. How many snipers can shoot from three-quarters of a mile with total confidence? Very few, but John Kott—an American marksman gone bad—is one of them. And after fifteen years in prison, he’s out, unaccounted for, and likely drawing a bead on a G8 summit packed with enough world leaders to tempt any assassin. If anyone can stop Kott, it’s the man who beat him before: Reacher. And though he’d rather work alone, Reacher is teamed with Casey Nice, a rookie analyst who keeps her cool with Zoloft. But they’re facing a rough road, full of ruthless mobsters, Serbian thugs, close calls, double-crosses—and no backup if they’re caught. All the while Reacher can’t stop thinking about the woman he once failed to save. But he won’t let that that happen again. Not this time. Not Nice. Reacher never gets too close. But now a killer is making it personal. Praise for Personal “The best one yet.”—Stephen King “Reacher is the stuff of myth, a great male fantasy. . . . One of this century’s most original, tantalizing pop-fiction heroes . . . Child does a masterly job of bringing his adventure to life with endless surprises and fierce suspense.”—The Washington Post “Yet another satisfying page-turner.”—Entertainment Weekly “Reacher is always up for a good fight, most entertainingly when he goes mano a mano with a seven-foot, 300-pound monster of a mobster named Little Joey. But it’s Reacher the Teacher who wows here.”—Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times. No library descriptions found. |
