Hi William,

I was lucky to get an early copy of WORTH DYING FOR and finished it in a couple days. You’re in for a treat because it’s spectacular. I’ll post a full review soon. Thanks for stopping by!

As with some of the readers above, I happened to first read Killing Floor and agree that it’s a good one to start with. I enjoyed The Enemy too, a sort of prequel, and written in the first person instead of Child’s usual third. One Shot I actually listened to as an audio book, which was fun, but it took me a while to hear Reacher in his/my own inner voice again. Today I’ve booked the follow up to 61 Hours, Something to Die For at the local library. Yes, it is out! NZ, Australia and the UK see it three weeks before it goes on sale in Canada and the USA! WooHoo!!! You people just be patient . . .

Brian and I both loved 61 Hours! If we had had to wait a year for the next Reacher, I would have gone mental! Looking forward to October!!

Well if the book holds me as captive as your review, I think I’m going to like this one!

Here’s where I admit I haven’t read any of them. “…sometimes unhygienic…”??? Ok, I’ll put my Monk tendencies aside when I delve into my first Reacher.

I read them as I find them…never had a problem with continuity. Just love anything new from Child!

POTENTIAL SERIES SPOILER DISCUSSION AHEAD!!!

My lone wish of Mr. Child – That we can have one, just ONE, installment where Reacher doesn’t bed the chick. I mean, I have nothing against Reacher gettin’ his game on, and Lord knows he’s irresistable (and not just to Naomi), but really? Every damn time? I thought Gone Tomorrow was going to be the winner, but nope, in the last, what, five seconds of the book it happens? I’m hoping that 61 Hours, with an elderly co-star, might be the one. Not that there’s anything wrong with bedding an elderly person. I’m just about one my own self. 🙂

ONE SHOT is my favorite Reacher tale, don’t ask me why, haven’t a clue. I was a bit disappointed in the last one so I’m looking forward to renewing my love affair with the sometimes un-hygienic Reacher.

I started with KILLING FLOOR and it remains one of my favorites because the story was so personal to Reacher.

Don’t get me started on the wait for HP books. I was one of those people who got wristbands to stand in line at midnight to get the books THE SECOND they dropped. I might’ve even pushed little children out of my way. And one time, I went straight to the bookstore to make it there before midnight after getting off a 14-hour flight from Europe!
