Persuader (Jack Reacher, #7)

I am totally loving this series. (Although I think it must be best NOT to read them back to back because then the formula wears through.) This is a good one -- tense, claustrophobic, and non-stop action. Two quibbles -- the romance between Reacher and Duffy seems...unmotivated. Like the author says to himself, "And this is the place where I start the romance," and proceeded to have Reacher make out with the nearest available female character. Also, the last 20 percent of the novel seems unduly long...and a bit confusing. Some tighter editing would have sharpened it up nicely.
I love it when a plan comes together.

Totally agree with not reading too many Jack Reacher books close together. The character tires me.

Surely Maggie the same with any author. Shame they used a minor to play Reacher on screen!!
First Lee Child's/Jack Reacher book I have read. I could not put it down. Now wanting to read more.
I agree - it gets old if you read a few in a row, but taking a break makes it great.
I an a Lee Child fan. Reading his books make me feel like a kid watching superman on a Saturday morning on TV as a kid. Jack Reacher in each of his books ( I've read them all now & am working currently on Personal) is bigger than life, smarter with lots of c'mon sense, super fighter, capable in most life situations & is the hero to come out in top in the end. I'll read & be a fan of anything Child writes. Terri Davis
i have read several Reacher novels, and this was disappointing. Way too much filler and a weak ending. this is definitely not up to par with others
Julie I agree about the 20% bit, as 100 pages could easily have been scrapped and not unduly affected the storyline.
I agree about reading them back to back. I just started the series about 6 months ago, and have been doing them pretty close, and I am finding some of the dialogue repeatable. I had really not enjoyed Echo Burning, but gave myself a bit of break and really have enjoyed Without Fail and Persuader.
