#Very mind-opening........ (2010-03-21) I was a bit sceptical about what to expect from this book. However, i m really glad i read it. It s very intriguing , gets the mind going even more so as it is based on a TRUE story! A must read. If only to test whatever your beliefs are!
#A load of twaddle (2010-03-14) I was recommended this book as an uplifting read but found it a work of unbelievable fantasy and not even a very interesting one. Smacks of indoctrination. Sorry, not my bag.
#Not for me... (2010-03-12) This book had excellent reviews and, although I am not usually a big fan of fiction, I thought I would give it a go. I struggled my way through 100 pages or so but then just gave up, it did not hold my interest at all, God portrayed as a black American Mama called Papa, cooking pancakes for breakfast, etc, I hesitate to say it was rubbish because we all like different things, but I would not recommend this one, I took it on holiday and just left it behind because I did not consider it was worth even passing it onto a friend. I bought No Time for Goodb...
#The Shack (2010-02-23) One of the most moving stories that I have read in a long time, I ve laughed and cried, mostly the tears of joy, although it is fiction it has the ability to awaken a deeper truth and sense of being within you that makes the story real whatever your religious beliefs or your own innate sense of spirituality. A must, excellent as an audio book too. I have bought more copies to give to friends.
#The Shack (2010-02-21) Enjoyed this book and left me with warm glow. Not sure if this simply because it reinforces my belief that God is a warm, loving and ultimately forgiving being.

#Ok adventure read (2010-03-21) I like Matthew Reillys books as a rule as they are what they are meant to be, a good adventure read. However, although I enjoyed the premiss of the story, the amount of military jargon together with the endless killing detracted from what could have been an above average. Still a good read for fans.
#Excellent Service (2010-03-18) Well packaged and very speedy delivery. Not read this book yet but it should be good if his previous books are anything to go by.
#M Reilly Five Greatest Warriors (2010-03-13) This is the third book of the Jack West Jr series. Mr Reilly s style of writing and story telling is a page turner. If you enjoy movies such as the Indiana Jones and Tomb Raiders, you will find a lot of similarity in the Jack West Jr series. Good read.
#Excellent! (2010-03-12) Brilliant continuation of The Six Sacred Stones and, in effect, The Seven Ancient Wonders. Takes a while to get used to Reilly s writing style, but highly entertaining!
#Don t buy this!! (2010-03-10) This is absolute rubbish! I normally perservere with books but with this I had to give up after about 50 pages. It seemed to be sub-comic book in its plotting and characterisation. I wouldn t recommend it to anyone.

#Good! but annoying!!!!!!!!! (2010-03-14) Lee Child books are addictive and get better (kind of) as they go along the series. They are very easy to read, blowing through it in no time and it s chocka-block full of action and machismo. The book is very much akin to a 90 s action movie but there s nothing wrong with that. Loved the character of Jack Reacher, a man so tough he can wipe his chuddies on Superman s cape and fear no reprisals. I enjoyed this book but a few things bugged shish out of me!. Who was the editor??????? Sheesh, sack the guy!. At the end of nearly EVERY, and i...
#An absolutely cracking read (2010-01-31) As a die-hard science fiction and fantasy geek, I have come a little late to the world of the thriller so I don t have a particularly broad knowledge upon which to draw for comparisons. I have read a few of the forensic thriller genre and found them rather `samey and have generally struggled with Tom Clancy s obsession with multiple characters and irrelevant technical details, although I really enjoyed his `Executive Orders: A Jack Ryan Novel . I was given the second of Lee Child s Jack Reacher stories (Die Trying) and found myself barely ab...
#A Jack Reacher Novel - Book 1 (2009-12-31) This novel introduces Jack Reacher. Jack is ex-Military Police with top draw training to keep the expertly trained soldiers in line. But after being honourably discharged from the army he has been roaming his homeland for months - drifting - and now he has found trouble in a small town in Georgia. . . but they have definitely picked on the wrong guy. Prepare yourself for violence and blood through out as Jack tries to find out what is happening in this small town that has led him into being slammed in jail for murder. Who is behind the con...
#macho man Reacher (2009-12-04) Jack Reacher ex military cop, loner, drifter arrives purely on a whim in the little town of Margrave in Georgia, not many hours later, when he is sitting in the local diner, cops enter and arrest him for the murder of an unknown man. Reacher obviously is not the guilty party, but soon becomes involved in the solving of the crime. He teams up with Finlay the cop who has been questioning him and Roscoe the beautiful female cop, who he quickly develops a romantic relationship with and together they discover the secrets and corruption that is going on in t...

Ex-military policemen Jack Reacher is lying low in Key West, digging up swimming pools by hand. He is not best pleased when a private detective starts asking questions about him, but when the detective, Costello, turns up dead with his fingertips sliced off, Reacher realises it is time to move on. Soon (as in Child s two previous excellent thrillers Die Trying and Killing Floor) Reacher is up to his neck in lethal trouble involving a vicious Wall Street manipulator, a mysterious woman (of course) and the livelihood of a whole community. Even the fate of soldiers missing in action in Vietnam is stirred into the brew. But this is not a book by one of the new breed of US thriller writers: Child prides himself that, as an Englishman, he writes American thrillers that are utterly convincing in milieu and toughness of action, without a trace of English sensibility. This new one is no exception-- every bit as lean and compulsive as its predecessors, it also builds on the freshest aspect of th...

#A Jack Reacher Novel - Book 3 (2010-02-23) Jack Reacher delivers a punch to rival any action hero in print, and in Tripwire, Lee Child is back on form with an all out blockbuster that delivers. In Die Trying - Book 2 - the story was a bit one dimensional. In Tripwire we are back on form with a Machiavellian pulling strings in the background and Jack caught in the middle of the chaos. Despite hiding out by working hard in Key West Florida, Jack Reacher is pulled back to New York to find answers to the senseless killing of a private detective who was looking for him. An action triller ...
#I didn t get it (2010-02-14) I didn t get this book. I like thrillers where I can put myself in the protagonist s shoes, suffer with him through the book and eventually win with him/her (why not? I like happy endings). Being a normal guy, I find it easier to sympathize with the protagonist when he is an ordinary guy as well. Well Jack Reacher is no ordinary guy. Gigantically tall and mostruosly fit, he comes from nowhere and has no friends, nor family ties. Highly unreal. He is a tough guy who is not surprised to see people shooting at him for no apparent reason. in other wo...
#best so far (2009-11-01) This is the sixth Reacher book I ve read, and enjoyed them all, but this is the best so far. A real page turner from start to finish. Highly recomended.
#We love Reacher! (2009-10-11) Having been recommended Lee Child by a friend I am working my way through the novels. This is number three. It s great, but not as great as the first two. Child manages to build plot and character quickly and enjoyably. It was a little short on action. I want Reacher in every scene doing what he does. Interesting end to the book to find him with ties and in a relationship. . . .
#First Impressions are good (2009-09-12) This is the first Lee Child (Jack Reacher) book that I have read and I enjoyed it.

#Another Amazing Gripping Book (2010-03-16) Fantastic book. Another brilliant episode in Smokey s life. This book had me sitting up in bed page turning till the early hours, so unbelievably gripping and as always plenty of suspense and twists and turns. Would recommend this author a hundred times over. I am so glad I stumbled across him when I was on holiday swapping books with other holiday makers! I have now read all of his books and eagerly await the next!
#The Best Yet - Brilliant (2010-03-14) This is the fourth in McFadyen s Smoky Barrett series and I have to say I thought it was the best yet. In this book a woman is returned having been kept in darkness and isolation in a cell for years and the killer is taunting the FBI and in particular Smoky Barrett to find him. However, we are aware early on that this woman is not the only victim who is being held and their lives are in danger if the perp is found. This book is on the edge of your seat stuff, and kept me gripped throughout the whole book. McFadyen uses words and his writing ver...
#Loved it! (2010-03-09) I have enjoyed all of Cody McFadyen s books and this was no exception. Kept me hooked from page 1. More, please!
#A Dark Thriller. (2010-01-29) A severely traumitised woman is thrown from a car in front of a beachside wedding. It transpires that the woman has been held captive, in the dark for many years. Agent Smoky Barrett and her FBI team are sent to investigate the woman s background, and her kidnapping. I found this book a tough enough read, as the author certainly piles on the misery. He has created an evil, sadistic killer, who just sees killing as a business, with no human emotion whatsoever, and there are some scenes in the story that made unnerved me, to say the least. Worth readin...
#A light in the darkness (2010-01-09) Half way through this novel, I thought that it covered too much ground from the first 3 Smoky stories and I got a little bored. McFadyen applying too much internal psychology with Smoky (re-living the last 3 novels) and yet another plot where Smoky and her friends (Callie, Bonnie, Alan) are threatened/ abused by another shocking and gruesome serial killer. It was OK but too much of the `same old . However, in the last quarter of the book he did `a Deaver and for the first time with McFadyen, I had to read back to make sure I hadn t missed s...
