"Lee Child's Reacher series has hit Book No. 20 with a resounding peal of wisecracking glee. Everything about it, starting with Reacher's nose for bad news, is as strong as ever. . . . The big guy's definitely on the upswing. The guy who writes about him is too.".
HTML:Janet Maslin, <i>The New York Times</i>.
HTML:"Lee Child has another winner with <i>Make Me</i>. . . . There's a reason why Child is considered the best of the best in the thriller genre: He can take all these strange elements and clichés and make them compelling and original.".
Associated Press.
HTML:"A superb thriller."<b>--New York <i>Daily News</i></b> "Child's complete command of the story makes this thriller work brilliantly.".
HTML:<i>Publishers Weekly</i> (starred review.)
"I've read all twenty of Lee Child's novels. Maybe there's something wrong with me. But I can't wait for the twenty-first.".
HTML:Malcolm Gladwell, <i>The New Yorker</i>.
HTML:"[The Reacher series] is the current gold standard in the genre. . . . In <i>Make Me</i> Lee Child delivers another Jack Reacher specialty; the total knockout."<b>--<i>Dayton Daily News</i></b> "Child serves up wingding plots, pithy dialogue, extraordinary background on intriguing topics, and cunningly constructed suspense. But what keeps us coming back--by the millions--is the chance to walk around in the skin of that big guy in the middle of everything."<b>--<i>The Oregonian</i></b> "A dark thriller . . . Lee Child's <i>Make Me,</i> the twentieth in his wildly popular Jack Reacher series, delivers exactly what readers have come to expect from the perennial bestselling author: interesting characters, tight plots and page-turning action. . . . Readers won't be disappointed."<b>--Minneapolis <i>Star Tribune</i></b> "Jack Reacher is back. . . . Readers new to this series will find this book a good starting point, and fans will be pleased to see Jack again.".
HTML:<i>LibraryReads</i> (Top Ten Pick.)
"The reigning champ ups the ante. . . . Yes, there's breakneck action, but what gives this one its zing is the multilayered plot. . . . The beguiling Chang offers a new treat for series fans as well, and a surprise at the end will keep readers short of breath until the next installment begins.".
HTML:<i>Booklist</i> (starred review.)
"This series remains as compulsively readable as ever. Child is a master of pacing, stretching out the mystery through short chapters that give rise to bursts of well-choreographed violence. . . . Of course, the biggest strength is Reacher himself: impassive, analytical, secretly romantic, and relentlessly honorable. It's impossible not to root for him. . . . Reacher is still going strong. Will satisfy fans--and newcomers, too.".
HTML:<i>Kirkus Reviews</i>.
HTML:<b>#1 <i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BESTSELLER • Stephen King calls Jack Reacher "the coolest continuing series character"--and now he's back in this masterly new thriller from Lee Child.</b><br /> <br /> <i>"Why is this town called Mother's Rest?"</i> That's all Reacher wants to know. But no one will tell him. It's a tiny place hidden in a thousand square miles of wheat fields, with a railroad stop, and sullen and watchful people, and a worried woman named Michelle Chang, who mistakes him for someone else: her missing partner in a private investigation she thinks must have started small and then turned lethal.<br /> <br /> Reacher has no particular place to go, and all the time in the world to get there, and there's something about Chang . . . so he teams up with her and starts to ask around. He thinks: How bad can this thing be? But before long he's plunged into a desperate race through LA, Chicago, Phoenix, and San Francisco, and through the hidden parts of the internet, up against thugs and assassins every step of the way--right back to where he started, in Mother's Rest, where he must confront the worst nightmare he could imagine.<br /> <br /> Walking away would have been easier. But as always, Reacher's rule is: If you want me to stop, you're going to have to make me.<br /> <br /> <b>Praise for <i>Make Me</i></b><br /> <br /> "Child's Reacher series has hit Book No. 20 with a resounding peal of wisecracking glee.
