    I read a lot of reviews prior to selecting a book. I value my time too much to spend it reading a lemon. I hope my reviews will be helpful as you look for your next book

    "Non-stop Excitement!"

    This was my first Lee Child book, and I really enjoyed it. It was packed with action, and the time flew by as I listened to it. For me it's not quite a five-star book just because it was predictable, and didn't go very deep with any of the other characters.

    "Another Great Story"

    I'm not reading them in order but have been very pleased so far. This episode was no exception. Not sure I'd really like somebody out there taking irrevocable justice into their own hands, but it makes for a good story.

    I love to read espionage and criminal thrillers. My lifestyle doesn't allow time to sit and read so audio books is really an enjoyment.

    The book was unbelievably "on your seat" reaction. I did laugh some.

    "Will never read Lee Child again he is anti Hunting"
    This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

    Anti hunters and animal rights nuts


    Would you ever listen to anything by Lee Child again?

    NO


    Which scene was your favorite?

    earlier part of book before Child gave his personal opinion on hunters and PETA


    You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

    Dick Hill is great


    Any additional comments?

    I can hardly believe a writer would make negative comments on Hunting and positive on PETA when his normal audience would be males and especially strong males. Many of which are outdoorsmen! Shame on you

    Story
    "A great pay out await you"
    What made the experience of listening to Persuader the most enjoyable?

    From the 1st page on, I was "persuaded" by the author through the narrator that this audible selection would be exciting and dramatic, which is just what I was looking.


    Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

    The plot led me from one page to the next by piquing my interest by switching scenes, teasing the reader. It led me to eagerly press on to the finish.


    What does Dick Hill bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    His wonderful ability to assume the identity of each speaking character by changing his voice to become the character. It's outstanding...his voice control, and he sustains it through out the read.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    Yes

    Story
    "Author gets better later in the Reacher series"

    The books in the Reacher series provide generally fast-paced material and don't demand too much from the reader. Like his earlier books in the series, Child is still working on nuance regarding the elements of a mystery story. Persuader also requires the reader to accept a larger dose of fantastic survival skills on the part of Reacher. Because I have read the latest two books in this series (out of order and prior to deciding to read the series from the beginning), I know that Child gets better at plot formation, learns to better present/reveal mystery elements, and to reduce the readers need to accept fantastic situations, I will likely move on to the next book in the series.

    Story
    "Another great read from Lee Child"
    Where does Persuader rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    Near the top for sure.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Aside from Jack, always the fav. it's always interesting to see who will be the sex interest of the day. All the characters are very interesting.


    What about Dick Hill’s performance did you like?

    He just gets better with time!


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    I would if I could have.


    Any additional comments?

    The ending. Not the best. He could have tried just a bit harder to make it juicy to the very, exact, precise end. Didn't happen.

    Story
    "Reacher Rocks!"
    Would you listen to Persuader again? Why?

    I would listen to this story again. It entails twists and turns throughout and kept me attentive. I listen to Audible books while I am walking and my walks were extended (good thing!)


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Persuader?

    The descriptions of the swims in the ocean. As a swimmer, I felt the cold and the undertow.


    What about Dick Hill’s performance did you like?

    He has amazing phrasing and each word is clear and concise.


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    I listened to several chapters twice.


    Any additional comments?

    I love reading the Jack Reacher series. I always have two going...one on Kindle or hardback and one on Audible. The character has a bit of James Bond, coupled with Jack Ryan...and maybe some Jack the Ripper, as well. I particularly enjoy the descriptions of the places where Jack Reacher travels. They absolutely are accurate and so well described!
