Ilustration Supposing Books A Wanted Man (Jack Reacher #17)
Four people in a car, hoping to make Chicago by morning. One man driving, eyes on the road. Another man next to him, telling stories that don’t add up. A woman in the back, silent and worried. And next to her, a huge man with a broken nose, hitching a ride east to Virginia. An hour behind them, a man lies stabbed to death in an old pumping station. He was seen going in with two others, but he never came out. He has been executed, the knife work professional, the killers vanished. Within minutes, the police are notified. Within hours, the FBI descends, laying claim to the victim without ever saying who he was or why he was there. All Reacher wanted was a ride to Virginia. All he did was stick out his thumb. But he soon discovers he has hitched more than a ride. He has tied himself to a massive conspiracy that makes him a threat - to both sides at once. 14 hr., 30 minDeclare Books During A Wanted Man (Jack Reacher #17)

I see a lot of reviewers complaining that A Wanted Man is slow, boring, and every other adjective possible that would fit under those headings. This is fiction, and any true Reacher fan will be able to appreciate most of this book for the great piece of fiction that it is. The truth is that the latest Reacher book is actually just a continuation of previous ones. Both in terms of plot and writing style. Lee Child has realized that Reacher is aging, and it just isnt realistic for him to beAnother enjoyable adventure with Jack Reacher. He just cannot seem to make it to Virginia without continually getting caught up in some kind of drama in the arse end of nowhere... I enjoyed this story a lot (though havent really disliked any of these books so far) and it held my interest throughout. The ending was great and as Reacher has now finally made it to Virginia Im excited to see what awaits him on his arrival.
Simply delicious. Jack Reacher doing what he does best. Despite a choice to live a simple life of traveling with no possessions or personal involvements, this ex-military policeman finds himself getting drawn into the plight of strangers in trouble, solves a mystery in a slow inexorable fashion from the most limited clues, and gets forced into a situation where extreme, righteous violence gets unleashed to resolve the problem. Though it sounds like a boring formula (similar to the 70s TV series
Hitchhiking is always a bad decision. That's the take-away from Lee Child's seventeenth book in the Jack Reacher series, "A Wanted Man".As always, Child builds up great suspense and tension slowly, revealing only enough details so as to entice the readers on. He does this brilliantly, and "A Wanted Man" is no exception. It's a solid action/adventure thriller.My only gripe with the book is probably a petty one, and one that doesn't detract from my enjoyment of the book. Indeed, it's not a huge
I don't understand the bad reviews for A Wanted Man. I enjoyed the "boring" parts - found them atmospheric and suspenseful. This latest installment may have lacked the usual amount of action, but it still had that Reacher-Is-The-Man magic. I must agree with another reviewer though - Child didn't segue between the previous novel and this one correctly. I mean, didn't he get a broken nose in that bunker? And now he had nothing to do with what happened in the bunker? Did I miss something? That's
This book felt sloppy and tired. Certainly the weakest in the series. Not enough cool fights, not enough female action. Just a quickie.
Just finished. Worst Reacher book ever. Why ? 1. He throws his first punch on page 327. 2. Has Lee Child accepted payment from McDonalds for product placement ? (count the number of times he mentions it in this book. Compare it to all his other books combined) 3. He throws his second punch on page 376.. 4. 51 pages later the book ends with plot holes that I won't go into in case you still want to read it. I'm sorry Lee but if you're mellowing with age and looking after your retirement income
