Description Concering 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.

This was another exciting installment in the Jack Reacher series. I really enjoyed this story, especially the first half of the book, as Reacher gradually figured out what was going on with the people he accepted a ride from as he made his way east from Nebraska. Lee Child does a great job building the suspense to a breaking point slowly and methodically. As usual, I didn't particularly care for all the cold-blooded kills Reacher had to make at the end; this seems to be more and more his MO asOn the positive side, it's a Reacher book.On the negative side, it's not the same Reacher I have grown to enjoy reading. First, it starts where Worth Dying For ended. The problem with that is there was a prequel in between and I have very little recollection of the plot of WDF, which itself was a continuation of 61 Hours. Needless to say, I had no idea how Reacher's nose became broken by the guy with the shotgun. Then comes the endless thoughts of Reacher during the car trip. A lot of it comes
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
Not one of his best, but still satisfying for us Reacher fans. Cannot visualize pipsqueek Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher.
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 be
I've read all of the Jack Reacher novels. Absolutely love the character, and for the most part, love the series.Have to say, however, that the past three Reacher novels have not at least for me come close to the earlier works. Too many stretches of where the writing isn't as crisp or as active as I'd like, and the overuse of cliches, such as the back of beyond. A WANTED MAN has a clever premise, but and again this is clearly just my opinion the story stays flat and predictable. Too
Late one night in the middle of winter, Jack Reacher is standing by the road on an Interstate highway cloverleaf in the middle of nowhere, Nebraska. It's cold, there's very little traffic, and he's trying to hitch a ride that will get him to Chicago, from where he can make his way by bus or train to Virginia, which is his ultimate destination.Catching a ride under these circumstances could be difficult in the best of times, but Reacher is a huge guy (much, much bigger than Tiny Tom Cruise), and
