"Brings to mind the knight-errant adventures of John D. McDonald's Travis McGee." —Booklist

Enjoyable lisning

What did you love best about Tripwire?

It's constant movement forward. and not too many lead characters to keep up with .. well defined way of rendering each character.. good voice renderings..

Who was your favorite character and why?

Reacher of course. I purchased it for that reason..

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

well thats hard to say. I enjoy reading too. I like the feel of the book in my hand.. they BOTH have their own perks.. listening and reading both. Sorry can't really comment on that.

Any additional comments?

I prefer Reacher when he is not romantic.. lol.I like him more as a soldier than a lover.. but it does add some variety to the theme..

A Beautifully Imagined Villain

As a spy/mystery/thriller buff, I'm no stranger to the concept of a "series" of novels all featuring the same protagonist. As a kid, I read Ludlum's "Jason Bourne" books decades before Matt Damon made them mainstream with his portrayal of that character in the similarly named movies. In more recent years, I've had the great pleasure of reading Michael Connelly's "Harry Bosch" books, and Timothy Hallinan's "Poke Rafferty" novels, among many others. And while the series concepts offers a great deal of appeal to both author and reader--such as the slow, steady evolution of a character over time--there are disadvantages as well. One is that the stories can occasionally become formulaic. And while overall I enjoy Lee Child's "Jack Reacher" books very much, there are some that I've found to be a bit predictable.

This book, however, is a standout among Child's prodigious, and entertaining "Jack Reacher" output. In the character "Hook Hobie" Child has created one of the most uniquely sinister villains ever encountered in the genre. As a series of events unfolds, drawing Reacher and Hobie into an inevitable and mortal struggle, the fascinating back-story of Hobie's existence is revealed. By the time Reacher has finally put all the pieces of this puzzle together, Hobie's evil has reached it's crescendo, and the reader can hardly wait for Reacher to unleash his can of whoop-ass on Hobie in the fashion that only Jack Reacher can.

The narrator, Jon McClain, does a nice job with this Reacher novel, as he has on many others. In this case though, it is the story itself that is the star. For those looking for a great introduction to the Jack Reacher series, or for those long-time fans looking for a somewhat unconventional Reacher story, this is the one.

Jack Reacher does it again

Excellent story line. A couple of loose hanging threads, as well as a couple of unfounded twists, but otherwise a great story. If possible, I would have rated it with 4.5 stars.

Greatness continues
