Engaging Page Turner
This is my first exposure to this series, and I was hooked on the first page. I loved the fact that it was absolutely set in the world of today with today's heroes and monsters. And the research and factoids used to move the story was amazing. My only criticism ... how about just a little more romance!

Gone Tomorrow
This was the first book that I had the honor to read by Lee Child. I will definitely be reading more by him also. His writing makes you feel like you are a part of it. Once you starting reading it, it is hard to put down. Reacher is unbelievable. I would classify this as a political, crime thriller.

Great book for the genre.
Though this not my usual genre of reading material (ie I loved "Room" and "Crooked Letter"), I have read Lee Child novels occasionally. This one will not disappoint any fan of his. Strong plot, strong characters, and you get to learn the 12 signs that someone is a terrorist!

Old fashion hero
Reacher always takes you with him every step of the way. From the openings words, you are caught up in a chain of events that keeps you on the edge of your seat until the last page is read. Always left wanting the next book to be available immediately.

Fast-Paced Thriller
I'd never read Lee Child and was slightly concerned that the testosterone level would be a bit high for my taste -- but that was NOT the case with "Gone Tomorrow". I thoroughly enjoyed this fast-paced tale, set in New York, Washington, Afghanistan and beyond. I'm interested enough in Reacher that I definitely will read more of this series. It's not a book for those with weak stomachs, but if you like a gritty tale with plenty of twists and turns and some VERY nasty people - some of them surprising - then this may be the book for you.

Gone Tomorrow
I had never read a Lee Child book before and did not know what I was missing. It is also a series that is written to start with an end book without loss of continuity.
Jack Reacher has a rugged Clint Eastwood aura but not a physical entity to this reader. He is an ex-military man with no ties to anywhere or anyone. An enigma.
In "Gone Tomorrow" he sees a woman on the subway, in New York City, that looks to be a suicide bomber. She has all the characteristic tells. His military training makes it imperative that he confront her as gently as is possible. This will open Pandora's box of all Government agencies with initials and political figures.

Another Winner from Lee Child
I have read and enjoyed most of Lee Child’s books. This is one of his best, in my opinion. The theme is contemporary and the plot extremely gripping. Be forewarned that the book is very violent. Other than that, it is a great read.
