What do readers think of Gone Tomorrow by Lee Child? Write your own review.

I am reading the series one by one, though the first one I read was Tripwire. The books have been very gripping and the storytelling is second to none. Reacher is easily lovable though he has some peculiar eccentricities.

Spoiler Alert. This book is a good read, there is no doubt, but there are two obvious plot flaws that jump out at me which makes the story less compelling than the others, specially given that Jack is all about reasoning and logic and outsmarting the enemy (and the reader).

The lesser flaw, as I see it, is the murder of Peter Marks, when they knew quite well that it wasn't necessary and she was actually caught in the traffic jam, as was their own guy trailing her. It is justified by their being fanatical, but that is really not enough.

The second and major flaw is in regard to the flash drive. The main story is based on the hunt for this flashdrive, but a two second thought process leads us to the inevitable. The villains here wanted to get rid of a file, and they successfully get Susan to delete it. But why have her copy it to a thumb drive in the first place? After she deletes it their mission is accomplished. Having her copy it somewhere else, and base a whole story on trying then to recover that copy to destroy it, when it needn't have been made in the first place, just doesn't make sense. It's definitely a gaping plot hole difficult to overlook.

Unlike the other Reacher novels I've read, this focuses more on the investigative aptitude rather than mere violence. Some may say it lacks as result? I however loved it!

The book was well written with a great plot. My wife and I couldn't put it down when we were each reading it.

However, at the end of the day, it's never clear why the pictures on the memory stick were important. I still can't understand why the "bad guys" would go to all the trouble to sneak 19 people into the United States to get the memory stick back.

"Suicide bomber are easy to spot." Gone Tomorrow grabbed my throat from the get-go and never let loose till Jack Reacher was on his way again. Plot twists and reversals and surprises abound--plausible implausibilities-- and I couldn't put this book down. Caution: a couple of scenes with graphic descriptions made me skip a few pages. But this book made me a Jack Reacher fan forever.

I enjoyed reading this book. I am a big fan of mystery/suspense books, so this was a good fit. I had to put the book down for a couple of days, but when I returned to the story, I could remember who the characters were and the story line. Good descriptions of the situations left me wanting more. I hope to read more and to read his newest novel.

A fascinating look at current issues and concerns in a novelistic setting. City life has changed for everyone, this novel let's you see this through the eyes of someone involved in conflict and survival. The suspense thru-out is very intense and it would make an excellent film. Some current historical situations add reality and an edge to the detail of the storyline.

A decent read, not great. I was expecting a book that I absolutely could not put down, and while I found the chapter endings urged me to continue, the tug was not so great that the laundry didn't get done.

I am certain that this will be the first of many Lee Child's books that I will read. As I'm finishing I'm already planning my search for the next one. Gone Tomorrow deals with current issues and brings home the tangled web of national security, espionage, and high stakes politics. I would highly recommend Gone Tomorrow to those who like a fast paced and to the point suspense novel. Reacher is a fascinating character who draws you in from the get go. His nuance for details and innuendoes is enthralling. Great read, nearly impossible to put down.
