The best part was the twist at the beginning
The least was the lengthy descriptions of guns

Not now

This story did not have the personal relationships of previous books.

I wouldn't put it better than the print version, only that the audio version lets me enjoy the book/story at times when I would not be able to read, such as while driving.

The back and forth between present and past. I don't remember Child doing this before

Characterization

Made me think, 'YEAH!"

Very enjoyable. I'd recommend it to any Reacher fan

Reacher seems to be getting a little old and broken for all the action. No regrets, the listen was great but I may be done with the Reacher series.

Yes, so far one of the top 5 Jack Reacher stories

Kept my attention throughout the book, fast pace

Good solid narration

Reacher's interaction with the Feds

Don't miss this Jack Reacher Novel

I chose this one from the previous reviews, which were all good. It was excellent with a very good ending. One of the reviewers had said that the story takes many unexpected turns and it was all that and more.

Great story. Kept me hooked throughout.

Yes. There was always enough there that you thought you knew what was going to happen. Then you find out you were wrong.

I have read 5 or 6 of the Reacher books, and they have always seemed moderately plausible. This one, however, was ridiculously implausible after the first chapter. The base plotline was good, but everything else just seemed outrageous. I am not especially fond of the narrator either. His delivery is a bit staccato and I don't care for his voice. I think it can be a toss up when you go from reading the books, to then listenign to them. You already have your own internal pacing and impressions, and the narrator doesn't usually mimic that. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone, honestly, even if I had read it instead of listen to it. 61 hours, so much better. And why call it Persuader?

nope. not even from other Reacher books.

Staccato. Harsh. Cocky.

irritation and disappointment

this series is very good, but not this book. give another reacher novel a try.

One of the best Reacher novels, with an extreme but plausible plot and some superb writing involving a near-drowning. The first-person narration works much better than the previous third-person storytelling. The action keeps unfolding and building to a very satisfying end.

I love Jack Reacher, but I cannot stand Dick Hill and his voices.

Yes, fast paced and keeps you thinking.

Really anyone, but Dick Hill. His voice-overs are so aggrevating.

Yes

Bought this book because it was on sale. Would have been happy to pay full price. Constant suspense and loads of action. Reacher is always one slight slip up or event out of his control from getting a bullet in the back of the head. If your a Jack Reacher newbie as I was, a fantastic introduction to the serious. After listening, you are very likely to go the the beginning where it all started for Reacher, and purchase the Killing Floor. Both the Persuader and the Killing Floor are written in the first person and narrated by Dick Hill who brings Jack Reacher to life. Lee Child also writes some of the Jack Reacher series in the third person (Die Trying, the second book in the series). Like the majority of listeners, I found Dick Hill narrated Reacher books were much more compelling than Reacher in the third person narrated by Jonathan McClain. However, as a huge Reacher fan, likely to give third person Reacher book once more chance.
