Well Written & Enthralling

This was my second Reacher novel. The first being The Persuader. While action starts well over 100 pages into it, the first 100 pages are neither fluff nor boring. They set the story line well. The characters are very believable & like-able. Mr. Child keeps the reader in suspense from beginning to end; and does it well. There are twists & turns which lead to dead ends. In turn, other avenues need to be explored. The reason for the assassination attempts is strange, but provides a good twist. I'll not reveal any part of the story. However, once you pick this up, you'll have a difficult time putting it down. It's an excellent thriller

Reacher is the Man

Jack Reacher kicks butt. He may be a loner. But alone, he is a one man army. He does what most of us wish we could do. This book is fantastic. Read the whole series.

How do you keep the most powerful people in the world alive?

How do you keep the most powerful people in the world alive? Not only is this a daunting task, it may be impossible. Lee Child's WITHOUT FAIL takes character Jack Reacher to his most challenging task yet - keeping the vice president alive. However, in true Jack Reacher fashion, this isn't about protection, it's about offense--find the killers before they are successful.
Child does a masterful job at taking us into the secret service and the issues, concerns, and challenges faced by an agency with an impossible task. A task they perform day in and day out successfully. After reading this novel, you will have a greater appreciation for just how successful the real secret service is.
While the premise alone is enough to carry this face paced novel forward, the exploration of Reacher's character provides a compelling depth to this novel. At times Reacher seems almost super human with his confidence and ability to anticipate exactly what the bad guys might do. But it is his relationship with M.E. Froelich, a secret service agent whose previous romantic involvement with Reacher's dead brother, provides the ever so subtle glimpses into his otherwise stoic persona.
WIHTOUT FAIL is a wonderful thriller that will keep you reading well into the night.

First time I have read Child...

This was recommended by a book club, and never having read anything by the author, decided to give it a try.
What a great story...suspenseful, technically intriguing with interesting characters! Jack Reacher is the mysterious hero, with savvy and smarts, defying all stereotypes. The plot builds slowly until about 3 quarters through, then the mystery resolves, but the action and suspense intensifies. At the end, the villains' motives and the time they have to do all this may be a bit of a stretch, but still plausible. A great read and look forward to reading more of Child's stories.

Routine Reacher offering

I like the Jack Reacher series, but this one is pretty average at best. It grabbed my attention at first , but thereafter it was decent but not very gripping. The whodunit was revealed about halfway through, so the rest of the book was just sort of killing time until the Big Showdown between Reacher and the baddies. The book did finally build to a modestly exciting finale.

I've been reading this series in order, and along with Running Blind, this is probably the weakest entry. The first one, Killing Floor, is still the best, and Echo Burning was also very good.
