Good Fiction
Not perfect but great page turner and typical Reacher. I love the way Reacher meets all the nutters and yet never gets shot! Lee Childs as always imbibes some ironic humour into Reacher's behaviour and his musings - even in the bleak scenarios detailed here. I wonder about the religious aspect. One of your other reviewers said that he doesn't know of any religious orders like this in reality. But this is fiction albeit there are some scary evangelical religious maniacs around - Even more so now (enter the Trump faction!) than in 2008. Also there are references in the book to real life cults and 'rapture' theories so not entirely fictional! But Reacher triumphs again beating the bad guys! - all in all an entertaining read

Nothing to lose....but admiration
It was well written but the plot was poorly conceived, not based in reality, misguided…… In short ignorant. I’ve been a person of faith for 40 years and been to every major protestant church denomination in North America. Whole town’s do not get out chanting and hoping for the end of time. While inevitable it is dreadful. No one thinks of making a dirty bomb to hasten the second coming. No one speaks up red cows or breeds them. While possible it is all quite implausible and in effect ruins the book. Bummer. Mr. Child, shame you and your publisher for such a major thing to be so substandard… I want my 10 bucks back.

Disappointing
The politics and jabs just are getting way too thinly veiled and it stinks. I was very, very disappointed.

Worst book I have ever read
This is by far the worst book I have ever read. The writing is terrible and the main character is an insufferable macho man. I can't believe it got published.
