Too much meaningless detail.

Although the book follows the exciting and eccentric life of Jack Reacher, the author obviously condones the act of desertion by military personnel. I could have understood and maybe agreed if we lived in a mandatory military service society, but we don’t. Those of us who have served have understood that we voluntarily took an oath of allegiance to our country and our branch of service. It is obvious, by his references, that the author lacks the knowledge and understanding of a military career. Therefore, unable to opine. Both army and marine enlisted personnel sign up for a two-year period. Of those two years, 6 weeks are for basic training and another series of weeks, depending on the specialty, are dedicated to additional training. So, a soldier, airman or marine can get deployed for one year after they have spent 3 or 4 months in training. By the time their deployment is over, it’s almost time to leave the service or re-up. Very difficult to be deployed two years consecutively unless the individual signed up for another tour. In either case, it is cowards way out to desert. I have read most of the Jack Reacher books and it is disappointing to have Reacher agree with disobeying an oath to country. This was not one of the best books I have read in this series.

I generally like the Reacher series, this book was filled with too many run on descriptive words. Unnecessary details that caused the story to drag on and not for the better.

Great book as all his books are.

Typically great.

IMHO: This Reacher story seemed to take awhile to get going and also seemed to drag on towards the ending. If you’re reading them in order like me, you may want to skip this one and come back for it later. Just okay.

This. Book, Nothing to Lose, is masterfully written as are all of the Authors books about Jack Reacher. IF you want non-stop action, read this book to see what one man can do.

Reacher always in the wrong place at the right time!

“Hope” is what I had from reading the previous Jack Reacher Novel. “Despair” is what I have while reading this novel. Good Lord. 200 pages of nothing. How many ways can we describe drinking a cup of coffee? And when Reacher is explaining something and says “Later,” you won’t know until the end of the book. Then Child ties it all up with a pretty bow.

This was the first Jack Reacher novel I read. Don’t ask me why I started here but I did and it was good enough to make me start at the beginning and they just keep getting better.
