Rated of 5
by Donna Wolfe Lee Child is a definite contender for best in his genre
Lee Child's pacing is the best in his genre. In "Gone Tomorrow," he uses several very suspense-filled chapters for his main character Jack Reacher to decide if a woman on a subway is a suicide bomber. (See Hitchcock's bomb theory.)
Because of his control over his writing, extensive vocabulary, interesting characters, stunning plots, and timely subject matter, he may just be the best in his field today.
I did have to skip a couple of pages twice because of the extensive violence.

This was the first book that I had the honor to read by Lee Child. I will definitely be reading more by him also. His writing makes you feel like you are a part of it. Once you starting reading it, it is hard to put down. Reacher is unbelievable. I would classify this as a political, crime thriller.

by Janice M. (Holland, MI) Fast paced and loaded with action
Loved "Gone Tomorrow". The tension starts on the first page and keeps you hooked through the end. I will be passing this on to my husband. It would be a great read for the reluctant adult male that you might know. I don't feel it would be a good fit with my all female book group (maybe a men's book club would enjoy discussing it however).
Rated of 5
by Valerie C. (Chico, CA) Great book for the genre.
Though this not my usual genre of reading material (ie I loved "Room" and "Crooked Letter"), I have read Lee Child novels occasionally. This one will not disappoint any fan of his. Strong plot, strong characters, and you get to learn the 12 signs that someone is a terrorist!

"Gone Tomorrow" was my 1st Reacher novel. It won't be my last. Reacher, retired military, is the ultimate fighting machine. He reminded me of an older version of the "Bourne" character. The plot elements involving government's use of the Patriot Act hint at what all Americans fear, losing individual rights. Reacher is tough and fearless. If I needed protection, I would want him on my side.

by Wendy R. (Riverside, CA) Fast Paced and Entertaining Read
The story that unfolds is full of unexpected twists and turns and multi-layered. Reacher finds himself the target of both the bad and the good guys. The novel reminded me of a Greg Rucka novel, with the tough, no nonsense hero at its helm. It's purely entertaining even if not entirely believable--and that's okay. It was easy to fall into Jack Reacher's world for a short while and ride the subways of New York along with him. I was hooked from page one.
A bold, mesmerizing novel about the woman known as "Typhoid Mary," the first known healthy carrier of typhoid fever in the burgeoning metropolis of early twentieth century New York.
