    "Another Hit"

    Lee Child again brings Jack Reacher to life in a big and wonderful way! The narator Dick Hill is just the best. I hope that Lee never ask anyone else to be a Jack Reacher narator.

    "couldn't believe how awful this was"
    Would you try another book from Lee Child and/or Dick Hill?

    probably not


    What was most disappointing about Lee Child’s story?

    the characters and the plot were incredibly boring and hard to follow.


    How did the narrator detract from the book?

    hearing someone reading with a broken nose for almost the entire book was excruciating -- the other voices were not good either.


    If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from A Wanted Man?

    I would not have published this book


    Any additional comments?

    I've been buying audiobooks for years and this is the only one I would advise readers to skip.

    "Sad"

    Sorry Mr. Child but I can't believe how bad and boring this book is. Where did Jack go? No action and blinking out a "code" in the car... seriously? I've read all of the books in the series and love Jack but this was just unbearable. And the broken nose portrayal was excruciating. I will not blindly buy another Reacher book again without waiting for other reviews of the book.

    "The Only Reacher Dud"

    I recommend that Lee Child sell the dwarf the rights to this. That way I won't have to feel bad about refusing to see the movie and all of the other Reacher gems will be safe.

    "Reacher....You let us down."
    Is there anything you would change about this book?

    Without killing the story I'd reduce the first third of the book by more than half, add half to the middle, and cut the ca-ca about the mysterious woman from Virginia. Who is this Mata Hari?


    What was most disappointing about Lee Child’s story?

    It's kind of like Mr Child "phoned it in" Way too many Reacher "norms"...serious number skills, way out deductions and it was all for moot.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    Sad to say, but it was the end because I was glad it was over.


    Was A Wanted Man worth the listening time?

    I'm a big fan of Jack Reacher and was sorely disappointed at this attempt and I do mean "attempt"


    Any additional comments?

    I'll buy the next Jack Reacher of course, but after that if it's not better I won't buy it the day it's released, I'll read the reviews. Mr Child, please step back up to the plate.

    "Getting Old"

    Same story - same Jack. I like the idea of Jack Reacher, but the story line needs to change. If you never read one of these books, then you are in for a treat (just pick a different one!) Sounded as if Dick Hill was in an echo chamber - otherwise, I love how Dick Hill reads the story!

    "Epppp!"
    What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

    A better story.


    Has A Wanted Man turned you off from other books in this genre?

    No


    Did the narration match the pace of the story?

    Yes


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

    It was nice to see Reacher again.


    Any additional comments?

    I have to agree with many of the negative reviews for this book. If I could do this all again, I would skip this book. The story stalled somewhere in the middle and never regained its momentum. After all the build up in the car if just fell flat. All the things I really loved about Reacher seemed to be left out of this book. And what is with all the mindless travelling. I struggled to finish this one. A definite miss!

    Dick Hill reading Lee Child is the best that Audible has to offer.

    As always, great performance by Dick.


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

    I wanted this to last forever.

    "Big fan but not of this one!"
    Would you try another book from Lee Child and/or Dick Hill?

    I have listened to all of the books in the JR series.


    Would you ever listen to anything by Lee Child again?

    Yes


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

    Good voice actor.


    Was A Wanted Man worth the listening time?

    Just barely kept me commited.


    Any additional comments?

    Lee Child can explain in detail about our traffic signs but fails to grasp the fact that storms in the midwest would never make it to Oregon! The wind does not blow that way for very long and the rockies are in the way! I live in NE Kansas so I know these little details about this book. Lee your better than that. Did they rush you?A "Bent" cop in england is callef a crooked cop over here!I was supprised that he failed to bed anyone.Now that Hollywood has ruined the whole thing the love affair is over. Good luck Jack!

    "Not my favorite Reacher."
    Is there anything you would change about this book?

    It just didn't compel me like some other of the Lee Childs.


    Would you recommend A Wanted Man to your friends? Why or why not?

    Not particularly.


    What didn’t you like about Dick Hill’s performance?

    Very slow. Not particularly clear. Also his doing Reacher with his broken nose became annoying.
