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

I spent the first 100 pages (540 pages total) wondering why an apparently homeless man had apparently unlimited funds to buy new clothing and various train, bus and metro tickets along with meals and hotels. I spent the second hundred pages trying to keep all the convoluted situations and people straight. Then I got caught up in the story. The various twists and turns were tightly plotted and were believable. The details (startling blue eyes and well-kept political secrets) were spot on. I'm glad I stuck with it and now want to read the earlier books in this 14 book series to find out how and why Jack Reacher became a tenacious loner who isn't afraid to get involved in someone else's troubles. If you haven't read Reacher novels before I would recommend reading at least the first one before tackling this one.

I enjoyed this book. The first 3 chapters reeled me in and then I had to read it through to the end. Lee Child's Reacher is a wonderful character and I want to read more. I loved the easy first person dialog. I felt like I was there with Reacher. Enjoyable easy read.

Lee Childs has found a way to make his character, Preacher, and his stories remain exciting and tantalizing. However, they are starting to be more of the same. If you like thrillers filled with suspense, you'll find another hit with Gone Tomorrow. Preacher is starting to bore me.

This book is definitely a page turner. The suspense kept me going hour after hour. I really enjoyed the flow of this book and the plot was great. I would definitely recommend this book to a friend.

The next time you are looking at a long sit in an airport or an afternoon at the beach, Lee Child's "Gone Tomorrow" will provide you with lively entertainment. The book clearly qualifies as a "thriller," with a quirky lead character, a plausible but not too obvious plot line, and the requisite amount of terrorist gore. Although the book is the 13th in a line of Jack Reacher stories, it's not necessary to have read the previous 12 tomes to enjoy this one. I wish I knew a bit more about the rather peculiar Mr. Reacher, though the author kindly fills in a few gaps with a cheat sheet at the end of the volume. The story is so clearly action driven that the main thing demanded of our hero is the ability to relate the relevant events, which he does in a clear, wry style that is easy to follow and credible.This book is better for the beach than for your book club.

"Gone Tomorrow" ... a truly hair-raising adventure! One of those thrilling novels that keeps you up all night just to get to the end of the story so you can relax. Someone else said it: "It's like a 'Die Hard' movie in prose" and that's it exactly. More graphic than I usually like (hence the 4), but you can't help liking the hero and you cheer for him no matter how violent his justice is. Lee Child's details of the subway trains in New York made me feel like I was back there on the trains again. Adventure #13 for Reacher? I clearly have some catching up to do. Lending this one to my favorite man.

This is the first Jack Reicher novel I have read. And if this is your first you will be happy to know that it does not depend on previous stories to enjoy the novel.

In many suspense novels I am often able to guess the outcome. In this one I really couldn't tell who the bad guys were because everyone seemed to be hiding something. There is one very graphic scene but it was not an overreach for this storyline. It did make me wonder how much of the backstory was based on real events.

While I have not read the previous novels, I am looking forward to the next one since I would expect this character to find new challenges to face and not simply a replay of the last one in different clothes.

I admit I love Jack Reacher. He is a loner and perhaps that might put some readers off but give him a try at least once. This book is one of the best yet from Lee Child. It has everything you want in a mystery. There is action so fast it makes your head spin and characters you won't forget any time soon. Once you get into the story you won't want to put the book down and when you finish I think you'll find that it stays with you for some time.

I would expect that most readers will be older, though certainly young men could enjoy these books as well. I enjoy a hard core thriller myself and perhaps there are other women out there who do as well. Jack Reacher is simply a fascinating character and though Lee Child has written over 14 books now featuring him, the man is never boring. This is a great read.
