I like how the author does not spend endless pages covering Jack’s history and past events. Overall, a good book for anyone into action / thriller / mystery fans.

I have downgraded this from 5 to 4 stars due to the gratuitous violence and some credibility issues. … He also sees another guy watching the old man.

However I persevered and it turned out to be an enjoyable, if not completely unbelievable read.

Having said that, the book maintained my interest and I was definitely keen to see how it ended up. Jack Reacher by Lee Child being probably my favorite Good Samaritan hero ever, I was eagerly waiting for the release of Blue Moon. longtime fans might actually find themselves wishing he’d settle down a bit and enter a serious relationship.

I wanted so much to love it, but I have to say, that perhaps Reacher needs to get set off to a nice island location and retire. He neither needs nor takes any reward. Blue Moon is the 24th Jack Reacher suspense novel.

For Reacher, the trouble started on a Greyhound bus when he noticed an elderly man named Aaron Shevick carrying a thick envelop flush with cash. Steck also works full-time as a freelance editor and pens a monthly thriller column for CrimeReads.

I thought they weren’t for females.

As usual I couldn’t put this book down.

So here we have Jack on a Greyhound bus watching a young guy watching an old guy who has an obvious envelope full of money coming out of his pocket. In Blue Moon, the two gangs operated different sections of the city with clear demarcation.

Where are the ingenious plots and settings of yesteryear? – Amanda, SA, 3 stars, Always love a new Jack Reacher book and this is no exception. Lee Child has finally shaken up the formulaic approach that he’s used so many times over the course of twenty-three previous books. His one liners made me laugh although I’m not entirely sure they were meant as humourous. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.

However, the level of violence in this book left me a bit cold and I didn’t feel the sense of endearment towards Jack Reacher that I’d expected. – Donna, VIC, 5 stars, This is my first Lee Child book and I absolutely LOVED it! The style of the writting made me feel like I was reading a movie script.

It was not a thriller I found it violent and totally unbelievable and not entertaining or well written. The finale of Blue Moon feels like the third stage of a moon rocket, exploding toward its destination.
There’s more violence in this one than any other Reacher book I can recall, and it’s all done so, so well.

The story is typical of the usual Jack Reacher books. He knows exactly what will happen, and he decides that this town is as good as any to stop, especially if he can help the old guy come out of a very sticky situation, being old and defenseless, and all that. Review: Blue Moon by Lee Child Lee Child’s latest book, Blue Moon, like all his Jack Reacher books, is more than mere revenge fantasy books Updated: Nov 01, 2019 20:23 IST I lost count at forty-five!

Author: Lee Child 

***Redacted due to potential spoilers*** So the adventure beings, and what an adventure, full of twists and turns, explosions, guns ….. lots of guns, body counts etc… well you get the gist of what I’m saying.

Very easy to read but hard to put down until the very end. I couldn’t help comparing it to another book I read recently – Lois Murphy’s Soon – which, though a horror-thriller rather than a crime-thriller, managed to create a story that kept me so on the edge of my seat that I read the whole book in one sitting. This Good Samaritan act opens up a can of worms for both Reacher and Shevick as they find themselves in the middle of a rival gang war. I could easily imagine this title being adapted into a movie.

There is an ongoing body count taken by each side and an internal count down for Jack ‘seven days…six days’ Yet again, Jack is wanting to assist a couple who are trying to pay off loan sharks, in order to fund their daughters medical costs. If you thought Jack Reacher was scary before, just wait until you see him after he’s cut loose here. He notices an elderly gentleman (Aaron Shevick) fast asleep with an envelope sticking out of his pocket. Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. Jack Reacher is traveling on a greyhound bus when he finds himself coming to the aid of an older man, Aaron Shevick, about to be mugged. More everything . Reacher teams up with an unlike bunch of civilians, Hogan an ex marine, Barton a musician, Vantresca an ex Army Commander and Abby a waitress. But Reacher was in his element throughout it all. The main character, Jack Reacher, helps out an older couple who have fallen victim to mafia loan sharks after needing to raise money for their daughter’s medical treatment.

The violence is described in an almost clinical way, and Child doesn’t linger over the injuries and deaths. Still, I loved the book despite this shortcoming which I hope will not happen in the next books.
Jack quickly outsmarts the bad guys and we delight in his genius as he ensures that right yet again overcomes wrong.
