Urban Realities
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.

Gone Tomorrow
My first experience with Lee Child and his protagonist Jack Reacher. I would definitely recommend this book. It is a page turner from beginning to end. Definitely on par with Michael Connelly and David Baldacci. The quality of writing definitely overshadows any feeling of guilty pleasure associated with reading this genre of writing,

Gone Tomorrow
At long last, I have tried out Lee Child and a Jack Reacher novel! I wasn't disappointed in this very tall, loner of a hero or in Child's ability to keep me turning pages as fast as I could. The story pounds along as Reacher makes his way around Manhattan, followed by all kinds of people. I think the inclusion of Theresa Lee and Jacob Mark as slightly more fleshed out characters was good, otherwise, there's just not a lot of time to get to know many of the players very well. I will warn that there are some pretty gritty details as the story swells, but it didn't stem my enjoyment of the book.

Gone Tomorrow
This is only the second Jack Reacher book I've read..it was decent. Good plotline and kept my interest until the very end. It was a quick and easy read and I'd recommend it to fans of espionage style thrillers.

Gone Tomorrow
Lee Child presents another fast moving and convoluted Jack Reacher adventure. The book opens on a New York subway where Jack observes a suicide which leads him to a confusing mystery involving a senate candidate: a woman and her cohorts from the Ukraine (or is it somewhere else); the NYPD; the FBI; and the DOD. All of them are looking for a missing memory stick. The book may be slowed down a bit for readers by the details of wandering through the streets of New York and there is plenty of violence. All in all it results in a good read for those looking for action packed adventures.

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).

Gone Tomorrow by Lee Child
"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.
