Quick and to the point action. No unnecessary words and no deep thoughts, just entertainment. A good change from a Clancy read.

I was in a reading slump and this book got me out of it. It was fast paced. Some of the reviews didn’t like the writing but for me, it was pure entertainment and it did its job. No complaints here.

This is a very poor effort indeed , from Lee Child, if he even wrote this. I suspect that it was mostly written by his brother Andrew, and what a poor writer he is. This is NOT Jack Reacher. The book is full of badly written chapters,…

I've loved all the other Jack Reacher books, but this one was terrible. It was supposed to have been co-authored by Lee and his brother, Andrew, but it was clearly written by Andrew Child (aka Andrew Grant. Grant has written other…

This was a different feeling novel, as Lee noticeably turned over writing and research duties to son, Andrew. Andrew doesn't have the same care of Reacher as Dad, Lee. Lee is Reacher's creator, Reacher's father. Andrew is the competitive…

Within a few pages it was clear that Lee Child had REALLY retired. Doubt he was even involved in this book. SO then the question becomes, "It's not as good as previous books in series, but is it good enough to stay with the series?" The…

Interesting to start: Reacher in a small town recognizes a kidnapping is about to happen to an unsuspecting man, so Reacher saves the day. Story devolves into too many characters, plots, and blah, blah. Please bring back the old Reacher…

I think it was 353 pages and could have been done in 200 or less. Blah blah blah. Definitely not like any other Reacher books I've read. If Lee Child is retired, then retire him. James Patterson's books are bad now. Robert Parkers…

Bring ReAcher back. Just another formula book. Lee put together the outline and then Andy did the blah blah blah. I have read all the others and this is the only one I wished would get interesting. No more D Andy books for me.

Worst "Reacher" story I've read. Had to put it down with only 50 pages left. Could not get the gist of the story. Too bad!

This is the worst of the series. The plot was thin and trite. The writing style was step by step leaden. There was poor proof reading. There were several major loose ends at the conclusion. And the conclusion really made little sense.

Not a true Jack Reacher book, likely due to the co-author situation. Reacher takes on the world and outwits everyone. Very far fetched. And Antifa are mentioned as good guys (give me a break)! Highly disappointing, but I enjoy Lee…

It is abundantly clear 'The Sentinel' has been written by two different people. Jack is so unbelievably smart a$$ glib in the first part of 'The Sentinel'. Unfortunately it seems as it was written by someone who thinks Jack Reacher is…

A very lazy and poor attempt to give Andrew Child a break. Clearly not the level of Lee's usual interesting plot and character development. I will never understand why Lee Child would allow such a feeble attempt at a Reacher novel?

Not the same writing as his other books. Author's brother is rather boring with descriptions and too complicated with plot line. Unrealistic plot. Did not finish book.

I hate violence; but at the risk of contradicting myself let me confess that I'm a huge Jack Reacher fan! Reacher books start with violence, end with violence with a lot of violence thrown in between. I guess the reason one pardon's…

Good book... not as great as Lee Child’s earlier works, but Lee Child’s brother is doing a decent job in carrying on Jack Reacher. Some parts got muddy and I started to glaze over some paragraphs, but overall, I finished the book and…

An enjoyable read with lots of action (fisticuffs), guns, and vehicles set in a small town in Tennessee. The formula is the same as in all the other Reacher novels. This novel centers around a current problem in the news - the locking of…

The first third of the book is a yawner. As another reader, noaprof, has commented, similar to the premise in Blue Moon (2019) that Jack Reacher travels aimlessly to a one stop light town and his gut sounds an alarm that injustice is about…

I have read all the Reacher books. I enjoyed this one too. It is a book of fiction about an unknown stranger helping out someone getting railroaded by the all powerful. Sounds familiar and takes my mind off the problems of the world. …

So disappointing. Clear early on this is not Lee Child's voice. The plot is both thin and nearly identical to the previous book; set in some nowhere Midwest burg with no attractive features, involving some sort of computer gone wild…

I see very mixed reviews for this latest Jack Reacher tale. I have to confess that it seemed just a tad "off", and once the reader understands that Lee Child is listed for familiarity and association with Jack Reacher, and that Andrew…

I see a lot of comments with people panning THE SENTINEL. I liked it. Not his best perhaps, but still engaging. The basic story line was classic Reacher. He arrives in another town by chance, and immediately finds himself in the middle…
