My first reading of a Jack Reacher book. I saw a Jack Reacher series on Prime that my wife and I really enjoyed. So I noted the author’s name and started searching for the books. “One Shot“ is a good read, especially since I have the mental picture of the Jack Reacher from the series.

I saw the movie a while back. But it took nothing away from the excitement of the Book. Great read. Reacher is my favorite super hero for now. Wow, no messing around that’s what I like 👍🏽

I saw the movie 1st. AWESOME. But when I read the book I saw that it was different in almost every place. The movie was undoubtedly better in this case.

Another great Reacher yarn. A little far fetched in places and dragged out in others, but a definite five stars reading.

Reacher at his very best n. My favorite so far, but then I say that every time I finish one!

I loved all the Jack Reacher books by Lee Child I’ve read. But Really Tom Cruise. Gross. No way can I picture him as Reacher. Tried to watch one of movies . Turned it off.

Good plot, not many good subplots. Truly enjoyed the read and had to watch the movie immediately afterwords. Tom Cruise productions did a hatchet job on the ending. DH Read on my iBook.

This is my first Lee Child (Jack Reacher) novel, and after reading "A Tale of Two Cities" and "The Brothers Karamazov," I felt like reading something that would hold my interest without weighing me down, but also not make me feel that I was wasting my time :::drumroll::: "One Shot" was just the ticket. Compared to the book, the Reacher movie was sorta like that 70s to 80s candy that you'd put in your mouth and it would start fizzing away and by the time you got around to swallowing any of it there was nothing to swallow. You were sort of left with that feeling you get when you're right there ready to sneeze, and it vanishes leaving you thinking, I hate it when that happens. The relative ease with which the Reacher story was told reminded me of all of the "Jesse Stone" stories I plowed through (and watched). I just liked the pacing of the story, and the way the characters interacted, in each of them.

This is by far the best in the Reacher series. Only thing I can't understand is how Lee Child let them ruin the movie and change the ending of it from the novel! Get Hollywood to screw up a fantastic book.

Full of twists and turns, this book is an excellent place to start if you're looking for an introduction into who Jack Reacher is. Though the movie is fun and entertaining, it isn't able to capture the intricate details that the book holds.
