    <body><![CDATA[More invested in this book than the first Jack Reacher.  This is the second book I've read in the past week that has to do with right-wing militia groups.  Interesting that, in this political climate, I'm happening upon this theme without any knowledge beforehand.  I just find it coincidental.  <br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/69958724">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is the second of the Jack Reacher books that I have read, and simply put - I LOVE THEM.  Jack Reacher is an ex-Military Policeman/expert sniper who has left the service.  He doesn't stay in one spot long, but that doesn't stop him from getting sucked into one situation after another that can be...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/25821110">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Lee Child is turning me into a bloodthirsty, sadistic...reader.  Pages and pages of 'Die Trying' went by in what I'm sure was intentional exposition now that Child had me hooked, knowing from 'Killing Floor' that the moment was coming when Jack Reacher would start ripping into people.

    <body><![CDATA[This one wasn't as good as the first but I still really liked it and couldn't put it down.  The violence is a little too graphic for me with  descriptions of heads being blown off by gunshots and such and the characters, even the &quot;good guys&quot; are absolutely ruthless. Still, an excellent thr...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/58760434">more...</a>]]></body>
