Reseñas de la Crítica

“Furiously suspenseful.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“Opens with a bang.” (Chicago Tribune)

“Lee Child’s knowledge of the modern military and its combat tactics amazed me. A chilling and all-too realistic story, and a damn good book.” (Steve Thayer)

STILL IN PROCESS OF LISTENING TO IT, BUT.....

How did the narrator detract from the book?

DID NOT LIKE THE NARRTOR, DID NOT PUT ENOUGH INTO THE CHARACTERS OR EVEN THE STORY...HE IS BORING!THIS GUY IS SO BORING I DON'T EVEN WANT TO LISTEN TO HIM, LITERALLY PUTS ME TO SLEEP;ALMOST MONOTONE, LIKE HE ISN'T EVEN ENJOYING THE STORY!

Any additional comments?

WHY DO THE AUTHORS CHANGE THE NARRATOR IN THEIR SERIES...DICK HILL DID AN EXECELENT NARRATING JOB AND HAD EXCITEMENT IN HIS VOICE...AUTHOR MADE A HUGH MISTAKE BY CHANGING HIS NARRATOR....LEE CHILD, KEEP THE SAME NARRATOR IN YOUR SERIES, DICK HILL WAS EXTREMELY GOOD AT ADDING EXCITEMENT TO THE STORY LINE, HE KNOWS THE CHARACTERS AND MAKE THEM COME ALIVE

Great book

I love the jack Reacher series. although I wish once or twice he would be able to have a happy ending with the love story. All of the adventures that he has are great his traveling from one place to another is Carefree and seems like a nice kind of approach to life for a short period of time. I hope eventually though he finds a place to settle down and find happiness where he is. I will never stop reading these books. I can't get enough of the adventures he goeson . the Mysteries are great the writing it's wonderful the characters never fell to tug at your heart.

True to the character of Jack Reacher...

I enjoyed this book. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was that it was not exceptional. Jack Reacher is a character that I got to know in the first book, Killing Floor. I bought this one right after I read the first. I probably should have gone back to another series first, then purchase the book. It is definitely its own story. The backround from the first book was not as important as I thought it should have been. If you aren't familiar with Jack, go ahead and buy this. I'm sure I will buy more in the future. But I need a little break from the Reacher series.

But I really like the style of Lee Child. His writing is very compelling and wants you to read more and more.

great 2nd act

I enjoyed this story. It took awhile to adjust to the narrator but I ended up thinking he did a good job. I am looking forward to the next Reacher story.

It's Reacher.

It's Reacher and everything you'd expect from him. Child's does a awesome job as always and McClain was a great narrator for the book.

hooked

I am totally hooked on these books not just the story wbt is great but also by the orator who puts his all into it. The suspense is awesome and wanting you to hear more and more

Always a good tail! 😎👍

Fun for the story to keep them together for the whole time. I enjoyed this book a great deal!

Die Trying- Great story, excellent presentation.

My daughter suggested me trying an audiobook and picked this story to give me a little diversion on a long trip. It more than fulfilled that job. I found myself totally immersed in the story and the characters. I have already purchased two more Jack Reacher audiobooks and look forward to getting involved with his next adventure. My compliments to Lee Child.

almost perfect

My only negative comment concerns the accuracy of the author, not the reader. The ballistic information is very inaccurate. The ammo ballistics were quoted in miles per hour. It should be feet per second. The author claims a 5.56mm bullet travels 2,000 mph. Not so. Other calibers were also described in miles per hour.

Liked it. Didn’t love it.

This is my probably 4th time through the series. I watch the new amazon prime series and got me back into it again. I can’t imagine them using this book for season 2. I guess time will tell
