I am a Reacher fan. I found this title little over complicated and a little tedious. I think I rated it too high because I'm a Reacher fan. I think, as I recollect my feeling while reading this installment of Reacher's Odyssey, that a…

I had to read it as it was a part of the series. Can't say I totally enjoyed it at all.

This was brilliantly written. Reacher gets in the middle of something that he's totally unaware of and further sets off a train reaction between two gangs. Once he realizes what is happening, he still sets course to fix a money problem an…

Another awesome Jack Reacher novel. This one distinguishes itself by our hero's utter brutality. He justifiably kills anyone and everyone in his way. As usual, he gets the girl but in the end he goes his separate way.

An all-out vicious bloodfest Jack Reacher entry. Could this be a Lee Child comedy, what with all the lemming-like gangsta behaviour?

I agree with many of the other reviews. This is not the Jack Reacher as depicted in all of the previous books. The previous Reacher books were violent, but primarily head butts and broken bones when the situation required it, but this book…

This was not the Jack Reacher I know and love. The writing was very wordy and Jack rarely uses a gun!

My first Jack Reacher novel. Action and strategy prevail as Jack takes a very vulnerable older couple under wing. They owe the Albanians (or the Ukrainians?) big time, and Jack does not fail. But. The other menace in this novel is the…

This is the book that ended my love affair with Lee Child and the Jack Reacher books. Reacher has become a crazed person, killing anyone he wants with impunity and these multitudinous killings seem to be the sole focus of the “plot”. The…

A well written novel with a gamut of action scenes!

4 stars. I have to tell you how much I love Lee Child's Jack Reacher series. I thought this was a good escapist read, but a bit too cinematic to me, kind of read like one of those action movies where someone gets killed in a gruesome way…

Not the best Reacher's story but not the worst either. A bit unrealistic for this country but would be very truthful for Ukraine and Russia (take my word for this), maybe Albania as well. So try to live for awhile outside of your back yard.

as others have said, this book is just bad and not worth reading. Reacher needs to be done I think.
Jul 30, 2020Morwenn rated this title 0.5 out of 5 stars
This is a far-fetched book about Ukrainian and Albanian mobs, health insurance and hospital costs, computer startups and fake news. Adding Reacher only made it worse. Once he was a strong, terse loner, now he's a chatty remorseless…

Lousy book. Child is either hit or miss, this is a BIG miss.

My least favorite Child book. I bought it for a gift and apologized when I gave it. I expect better on next book, The Sentinel. Long-time fan

I enjoyed this Reacher story. It's good to give your opinion of what you thought of the book but never tell anyone to not read the book.

Not a good read & I am a Reacher fan. Like a B grade movie where the hero goes out & shoots everyone. It just got more outlandish as he went on. It is a good idea to skip this one....I can't unread this but others may be able take heed…

My first Jack Reacher novel, and it will be my last. Bad 007, lots of violence and sexist thinking. Very disappointing.

Child is beginning to get stale. Maybe time to retire Reacher and start a new character series.

Too many bodies, improbable plot. Very disappointing.

A very fast and breezy Reacher read for *dedicated* Child fans. Others be warned. This 'book' is a grade B hollywood over the top action shoot em up sh*ty movie script. Requires complete suspension of disbelief. Child's format has…
