Critics nationwide acclaimed Killing Floor, Lee Child's suspense debut, as a tough, compelling thriller with characters who jump off the page (Houston Chronicle). Brilliantly written, agreed Playboy. Striking, applauded The Chicago Tribune. An unsettling trip that leaves your brain buzzing and your stomach knotted, warned The Philadelphia Inquirer. Relentlessly suspenseful, The Denver Post concurred. In a quiet Chicago suburb, a dentist is attacked in his office parking lot and forced into the trunk of his Lexus. On a sidewalk downtown, Jack Reacher and an unknown woman are abducted in broad daylight. Wordlessly and without warning, two armed men--confident, rehearsed, tense--hustle them into the same sedan. Then Reacher and the woman are switched into a second vehicle and hauled away, leaving the dentist bound and gagged inside his car with the woman's abandoned possessions, two gallons of gasoline . . . and a burning match. Building on this harrowing start, Lee Child brings us another novel of nonstop high-speed suspense. Die Trying confirms his sizable talent and the magnetic appeal of Reacher, a hero who seems like someone with plenty of tales to tell (The Philadelphia Inquirer). Fortunately for us, he is and he will.

Summary: Very good outing for Reacher
Comment: As far as thrillers go this was very good. The characters were deep and enthralling, keeping your interest all the way through. There was enough suspense to keep you turning the pages, and plenty of action. If you enjoy Lee Child`s Jack Reacher books then this will please you. I`m a series fan and enjoy Child and Michael Connelly books immensely, if you like that kind of thriller read the `Soft Target` books by Conrad Jones. They are unputdownable!! Back to the review, ten out of ten.

Summary: Lee Child
Comment: This author writes wonderful stories. I read all of them. You know the man is going to win in the end. But how he gets there is fascinating!

Summary: "Jack Reacher fights a Montana Millitia"
Comment: This is the second Jack Reacher Novel, by Lee Child. My Aunt sent me "One Shot" which I loved, so I decided to read the Jack Reacher Novels in sequence. I didn't like this as well as "Killing Floor" but still found it above average. Liked the Kidnapped Female Agent who is the center of the Novel. But I didn't think the book needed two traitors within the bureau. This book is a fun, thrilling read.

Summary: Another Reacher classic
Comment: Lee Child has taken reacher into another situation not of his own making. H estumbles into a kidnap by accident. Jack Reacher is in both the wrong and the right place at the same time when FBI Special Agent and daughter of the chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Holly Johnson is abducted from a Chicago street. It is the wrong place because Reacher, a former army major drifting around the country, is kidnapped as well. It is the right place because only he has the instincts to foil the complex, deadly plan of the kidnappers, a Montana militia group headed by a charismatic, brilliant, but psychotic leader. Child's tale, very well read by Dick Hill, engrossingly portrays Reacher's efforts to manipulate the captors; the behind-the-scenes maneuvering of the FBI, the army, and the White House; and the many unexpected roadblocks thrown in his path. As usual he right all the wrongs and leaves town without a trace, marching into the next Reacher novel. Excellent.

Summary: OK, but ..........
Comment: An OK book, but not at the level of John Sanford. I got very tired of the author using the word "right" at the end of everyone's dialogue. It gets old after a while, right?
