Personal Lee Child Personal Lee Child "You can leave the army, but the army doesn't leave you. Not always. Not completely," notes Jack Reacher - - and sure enough, the retired military cop is soon pulled back into service. This time, for the State Department and the CIA. Someone has taken a shot at the president of France in the City of Light. The bullet was American. The distance between the gunman and the target was exceptional. How many snipers can shoot from three- quarters of a mile with total confidence? Very few, but John Kott -- an American marksman gone bad -- is one of them. And after fifteen years in prison, he's out, unaccounted for, and likely drawing a bead on a G-8 summit packed with enough world leaders to tempt any assassin. If anyone can stop Kott, it's the man who beat him before: Reacher. And though he'd rather work alone, Reacher is teamed with Casey Nice, a rookie analyst who keeps her cool with Zoloft. But they're facing a rough road, full of ruthless mobsters, Serbian thugs, close calls, double-crosses -- and no backup if they're caught. All the while Reacher can't stop thinking about the woman he once failed to save. But he won't let that that happen again. Not this time. Not Nice. Reacher never gets too close. But now a killer is making it personal.

From Reader Review Personal for online ebook Connie says hmmmmm....what can I say? I love Jack Reacher. I love Lee Child. I've been a massive fan from the very start. I've recommended his books to dozens of people...probably hundreds! I've shared countless books with neighbors, co-workers and friends. I pour a cup of coffee and I think of Reacher. I buy a new toothbrush and I think of Reacher..... But I didn't care for this book at all. Actually my least favourite book of Reacher. I'm the type of person that buys books on pre-order. Lots and lots of them. However....there are only two authors I actually READ on release day.....John Sandford and Lee Child.....Usually I read Lee's in a single sitting....no more than two days....This one took me over two weeks to muddle through it. I've been trying to figure out why this one is so different for me. It's taken me a bit, but I think I figured it out finally. Reacher wasn't on his own. I understand he's been part of makeshift teams before. However, even as a team member he was always on his own....working for himself....because he wanted to correct some wrong in the world. This book was full of politics. It was just bogged down. The story line just got lost in all the politics and the conspiracy and back office deals. Reacher felt like a puppet in this novel. He had no personality. I won't continue on...except to say that I was totally bored with this novel. I wouldn't have even finished it if it were not a Reacher novel. That makes it a very sad day in the life of a long time Reacher fan.... Will I wait for the next book? Damn right. Will I read it right away? Damn straight I will. This is one book out of almost 2 dozen.....it's not the end of the world....I'm still a loyal fan and I still have massive love for Lee Child and Reacher.....I will still be putting on a pot of black coffee next time he comes to town... If I could say one thing to Lee Child it would be this....Forget your editors....forget your fans.....go back to your one new book every May.....forget the second book in the fall....yes we bitch and moan about the wait.....yes, you can make more money by writing more books....but really, Christmas only comes once a year and we've all survived our childhoods of waiting for Santa all year long.......The Real Jack Reacher is worth the wait as well......please...please.....go back to once a year and spend that extra 6 months giving us the REAL Reacher....not just words on a page.... That is all..... ARC provided by NetGalley for an honest review www.RandomBookMuses.com www.1001Musings.com Franklin Atherton says I've read every Reacher novel Lee Child ever wrote. Some of them are good, and some of them are magnificent. Recently there have been a few substandard, but Personal is the worst Reacher novel I've ever read. It was even worse than the one where he was supposedly being held prisoner in a car, and it all took PDF File: Personal... 3 Read and Download Ebook Personal... place as they drove across country, and that's really saying something because that one really sucked. The beginning started out okay, and the ending was okay, but what was all that bullshit in the middle? The ending seemed to rationalize some of what went on, but it in no way makes up for the boring, adolescently contrived nature of the bullshit we had to endure for 200 pages. Maybe he needs to lay off the cannabis for a while, because that was the biggest pile of confusing horseshit I've ever read. (Cannabis accusation according to his own claim in an interview with the Daily Mail: “In 2013, Grant told the Daily Mail that he writes while high on marijuana, and that he has smoked cannabis five nights a week for 44 years.” per Wikipedia) Man, I can be a diehard fan of someone as much as the next guy, but, after reading Personal, I felt the same way I did after I read the latest John Sandford novel. I felt like I'd been had, that these guys are slacking and leaning a little too heavily on their fans to prop them up, like they are coasting, like they are semi-retired rich dudes just waiting for the checks to roll in. Well, screw that, boys! There are too many people out there who are still TRYING to write something worth reading for me to waste too much time or money on that crap! I've already scrapped Sandford's Virgil Flowers series as he carelessly allowed one of his golfing buddies to get a little too involved and turned out a piece of crap, and I'm not afraid to throw any future efforts in the Reacher series on the scrap-heap, too. It was crap. It was insulting. Look at it this way, if this had been his first novel, there never would have been another one. Nobody would have published a piece of crap like that, so I don't see why I should cut him any slack based on his previous efforts. Each effort needs to be good enough to pass this test. Every one of them. Lissa says I LOVE Jack Reacher and have read ALL Lee Child's Reacher books but this one (and the one before, I have found disappointing to say the least in fact I have closed the latest, after giving it a good chance, and will not finish it. The "edge" seems to have gone from the books with lots of wandering around, pointless dialogue and side tracks that take the stories no-where. It is almost as if someone else is doing the writing!! I'd love to stay addicted but am finding it hard. I was desperate for Jack to find Susan (we waited two books was it, to get there) and then was there an explosion upon meeting? No - a whimper!! Ever since 61 Hours the pace of the books has slowed. I'd love to love Jack again - please!! Mike French says Reacher is playing an away game in this non-stop action thriller. Mostly takes place in Paris and London, but now he is a one man wrecking crew on two continents! I enjoyed this episode in Reacher's life as much if not more than previous books. Ahmad Sharabiani says Personal (Jack Reacher, #19), Lee Child Gloria Bernal says PDF File: Personal... 4 Read and Download Ebook Personal... Nothing really happens until the 16th chapter, page 87 ... unusual for a Jack Reacher novel. Lee Child likes to set the foundation in detail. I realize that it's necessary to a point, but this novel, unlike the other Reacher novels I've read, focuses primarily on strategies, hypothetical situations & scenarios, and way too much detail about the artillery/ammunition used or not used as in some cases. He goes into all the technical stuff, such as velocity of bullets, ranges, angles, specifications, material used, etc., I mean pages of this. “Personally,” this reader just wanted him to get on with the story. The knock-down drag out fist-fighting is much the same, a blow by blow description of how it went down, to get the bad guy ... and when he finally gets the bad guy, which we all know he is going to do, it seems anti-climatic.
