Action Packed Adventure
This is an absorbing adventure that made me anxious to read the next chapter. Even though the actions of the villains are horrific, they are believable. This is the first book I have read by the author but I will read more of his work now that I have been introduced to "Reacher".
I would warn the queasy and faint of heart to avoid reading this novel. The torture scenes are extremely graphic.

Gone Tomorrow by Lee Child
This book should come with the warning,"Don't start reading unless you have time to read it without stopping", because once you start you can't turn the pages fast enough. This is the first book by Lee Child that I have read, and it certainly won't be the last. It has very believable characters, and so many twist and turns that as soon as you think you have figured out what will happen next you are proven wrong. It will also frighten you when you read about how our privacy and citizen rights can be violated in the name of National Security. A great read!

More of Jack Reacher, Please!
I became a fan of Lee Child's "Reacher" novels over the summer, so I was so glad to get a copy of "Gone Tomorrow"! I'm usually a slow reader but this one flew by. Just when you think you've got it figured out and you think you know who the "bad guy/gal" is, Mr. Child throws in another twist. Jack Reacher is a hero for men and women alike, with toughness and tenderness interwoven to create a truly complex character. I recently picked up the latest Reacher novel, "61 Hours" from the library but had to put that one aside to read "Gone Tomorrow" and I'm glad I did. Each novel shows more layers to Reacher; I can't wait to read the next one!

Great thriller
"Gone Tomorrow" by Lee Child is one of the finest thrillers I've read. Jack Reacher is an ex-army officer who finds himself involved in a tangled mess when he confronts a possible suicide bomber on a New York subway. Like a number of characters in the book, the possible suicide bomber is not what she initially appears to be. The book has enough twists and turns to keep the reader guessing while continually moving at a frantic pace.

Great escapist entertainment
This is the first Lee Child book I have read and I was totally pulled into the story from the very first page. Jack Reacher is such an unconventional hero and I thought "I must find out more about him." I raced through this book and couldn't put it down until I finished. Good plot, tightly written and I ended up wanting to read more by this author! Not sure it would be a candidate for book club discussions, but it sure was a fun read and I learned something.

Gone
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.

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,
