1: Get off your soap box, Lee Child
I love Jack Reacher books, but this is definitely the worst Jack Reacher saga and possibly the worst book ever. Its cardboard characters CRAWLED to the finishing line. It's the first time that I've ever set the audible speed on my iPod to "Fast" (only because I'm one of those people who can't NOT finish a book, no matter how bad). And absolutely the most convoluted plot ever.
Once authors develop a following, why do some of them feel the need to start using their books as soap boxes? Stop pounding us with a sledge hammer on your political views, Lee Child. Get off your soap box and go back to what you're great at doing: telling edge-of-your-seat stories through Jack "Dirty Harry" Reacher. PLEASE, turn off your inner Michael Moore. It just doesn't jive with Jack Reacher. [[ASIN:0385340567 Nothing to Lose (Jack Reacher Novels)

2: Fortunately there were 11 great Jack Reacher books before this.
This is not the Jack Reacher that put Lee on the map. Hey Lee - - what were you thinking? An awful book for all the reasons (and more) that were stated by previous reviewers.

3: Sanctimonious Tripe
I won't belabour points that others have made so well. Jack Reacher used to be so cool, but I won't be able to spend any more time with him after this sucker punch.

4: Alternate reading
It was interesting to read so many different takes on this book. Perhaps some of you would be willing to look at some of my realistic futuristic thriller novels such as Pluto 2550 or Adam 2552. Maybe you would love a modern political, men's adventure, romance, thriller unlike no other, which is my top selling novel, The Immortal. If you dare to see a close look at the paranormal or supernatural thrillers, you might enjoy Cast out of Paradise or Kevin and the Dead. An adventure in excitement waits for you. Incidentally, I am the author, Daniel Whittman. All of these novels and more are on amazon.com. If you do not have a kindle, they are available at www.danielwhittman.bravejournal.com or www.danwhittman.com.

5: Very bad novel
I will never read another Child book. This idiocy and abrupt departure from a very successful francise has ruined it for me. The worst part is that this book is BORING.
Now that the Iraq war seems to be going well, I hope Child
is happy that his pathetic attempt to pander to the MoveOn group backfires and he becomes largely forgotten.
