I'll say 3.75 stars, rounded up... In penning another of his 'flashback' Reacher novels, Child stirs the pot and leaves series fans divided. Taking the story back to 1997, Reacher still works for the Military Police and is summoned to attend some additional training in the form of an evening class. T Leggi tutto

Lee Child sure writes great books. And Jack Reacher is a great character. I'm a big fan. Although I've read these books in publication order, I'm not sure it's necessary. With this book, Child goes back to 1996, three years after a bomb went off in the parking garage below a very tall building in Ne Leggi tutto

DNF at 77% I know! 77% is too late to give up, but I had to. I couldn't care to read anymore. It wasn't interesting a bit.

3.5 ★ s After receiving a medal in the morning, Major Jack Reacher along with two others, FBI and CIA, were buried deeply in a highly secure establishment they called Night School. But it wasn’t a school. 1996 and the hierarchy had heard something big was going down. The message that had been overheard Leggi tutto

My rating: 4.4/5 Night School has everything that you would expect from a Jack Reacher novel. It was fun and fast. It was stylish and.... simple(?) who knows?! But It was really good. I actually liked this one better than most of the other Jack reacher novels. This one has more simple story but at the Leggi tutto

Something different from the norm for this series as Lee Child takes Reacher back into his past and back into uniform. I liked it especially as we see a different side of Jack as well - more brain and a bit less brawn than usual! Of course he still single handedly takes on half a dozen men at a time Leggi tutto

This story starts with lots of baseball metaphors and justifiably strikes out. This is one of the most tortuous, xenophobic, clumsy, 3rd Reich inspiring, unappealing Jack Reacher stories I've come across. Could it be that Lee Child has lost it? Based on some of the past readings, it seems the answer Leggi tutto
