I actually randomly bought this book in paperback a few years ago while on vacation, but I had to add it my eLibrary too. After reading the first few chapters again, I remembered why I like Lee Child's Jack Reacher: The ride he takes you on is never smooth, never dull, and very entertaining.
If you've never read any of the Reacher books, they're a fantastic series. In this book, we have have the pleasure of getting to know Jack, and trust me - it really is a pleasure. He's a loner, a bit dark, a former military man, smart as a whip, and maybe a bit of a dirty boy.
Freshly back into civilian life, he tries to bum around the south in order to try to adjust to life outside - something he's never really experienced. Instead he quickly finds himself in the middle of a big conspiracy in a small town completely by accident, and the big wigs at the head of it want him to take the fall. Boy, did they pick the wrong guy to mess with.
Lee Child delivers a great read with the first of the Reacher books. Filled with twists and turns, subtle and dry wit, Child allows you to experience an adventure that you don't want to end. All the characters are realistic, while the story at times seems insane, it remains entirely believable given the circumstances. The craziness of it all makes it much more fun!
If you want a good action/mystery read, pick this one up. You won't regret it.Get more detail about Killing Floor (Jack Reacher, No. 1).
