One could consider it a tongue-in-cheek sequel to Silence of the Lambs, and it is way better than over-hyped Hannibal. Rating: 4 / 5

He is so deep that makes other thriller writers appear an inch shallow and down under. Jack Reacher is so far one of the most(not too many) interesting characters that ever created by a writer, who are actually on a par with each other. What amazed me most is that Mr. Child's writing is such an internationally standardized modern English not just British English that used to be zigzagging and indirect. The flow of the sentences and paragraphs are so smoothly putting out that always makes you apprecitate his width of knowing how to choose a better and deeper word to describe a feeling or situation. This talent and knowledge are rarely to be found among other so-called thriller writers and making his every word worths the money you've paid for. The burden of relationship of his newly acquired secular belongings, either real estate property or romance, only makes Reacher more realistic. But the FBI people created this time seemed to be quite unconvincing. The way Blake treating Larma and the latter's insubordinate attitude is absolutely impossible and inprobable in FBI's ethics, unless they have some sexual relationship, therefore did not ring true at all. All of the other FBI's characters, well, Harper seems to be more acceptable as an FBI agent and more normal, others are just a fine line away from thugs; a situation Mr. Child should pay more attention to fine tune before or during writing. Also, a nation wide serial killing rampage is also fundamentally weak this time that made me feel a bit impatient to read along after two third of the book. Again, I jumped over those hateful and stupid itallic paragraphs and I can assure you, Mr. Child, lot of readers might be just like what I did. So please don't try to use too many lean to right itallic sentences, especially long and tiresome paragraphs. Also, how to realistically show the readers the way that the real FBI is dealing with a nation-wide crime, Mr. Child should do a deeper research before production; a more authentic and convincing task force or just of bunch thug-like agents? Don't "running blind" is what I would like to give to Mr. Child this time. A good book means that when readers think it twice, all the logic premises still could stand fast albeit bleaching the paper money. Rating: 4 / 5

Jack Reacher is back at his very best; not too smart, not too slow witted, but just right. Also, he's still very capable of handling most adversaries and charming all (well, almost all) women and pissing off most men. It is a fast paced thriller in search of a serial killer which takes many twists and turns, but entertains all the way. It leaves you a bit exhausted, but exhilarated at the same time! No author seems to get along with the FBI, but this book has a lot of fun with their procedures, while bending a few military rules along the way. Read it! Rating: 4 / 5

Jack Reacher is blackmailed by the FBI to solve a series of murders that he’s first been accused of and later been absolved of. Jack travels the country in an effort to solve these murders. Even at the end, when I just can’t imagine how these murders are committed, Jack solves the problem and saves yet another woman.

Jack is smart, interesting, well read and at times I even get a chuckle out of his comments and behavior. He is also hard and knows how to do what needs to be done in a tight situation. Jack takes care of the little guys and brings the big ugly nasties down to size. He is my new hero.

This isn’t my first Jack Reacher novel nor will it be my last. In fact, I even like the novels by this author that are not Reacher novels.

Well worth the money.
Enjoy.
