  <default_description>The ultimate loner. An elite ex-military cop who left the service years ago, he's moved from place to place ... without family ... without possessions ... without commitments. And without fear. Which is good, because trouble&#8212;big, violent, complicated trouble&#8212;finds Reacher wherever he goes. And when trouble finds him, Reacher does not quit, not once, not ever. But some unfinished business has now found Reacher. And Reacher is a man who hates unfinished business. Ten years ago, a key investigation went sour and Francis Xavier Quinn got away with murder. Now a chance encounter outside Boston's Symphony Hall brings it all back. Now Reacher sees his one last shot. Some would call it vengeance. Some would call it redemption. Reacher would call it justice.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I am totally loving this series.  (Although I think it must be best NOT to read them back to back because then the formula wears through.)  This is a good one -- tense, claustrophobic, and non-stop action.  Two quibbles -- the romance between Reacher and Duffy seems...unmotivated.

    <body><![CDATA[Jack Reacher is one of my favourite fictional characters, but you don't get to know him as well in this book as others I have read.  He's obsessed with an incident in his past and events in Persuader offer him a chance to 'right a wrong'.  All in all it's typical of Lee Child and highly entertaining...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/61323452">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book in the series seemed more brutal &amp; disturbing to me. Either that or I'm just getting a little tired of the series. Perhaps I need a break before moving on with it. The author goes in to excruciating details about things that I feel just aren't necessary. On the other hand, at times those d...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64174052">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[WoW. This book was sooo good! Appherently the seventh ina series by Child, it was my first taste of his writing; I think I may have found another 'must read' author. <br/><br/>In this one, ex-MP, Jack Reacher, finds himself in Boston, face-to-face with his nemesis whom he killed a decade earlier. ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/16492873">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It's another good Jack Reacher novel.  This one includes flashbacks to an earlier case.  One Reacher thought was closed until he saw the man he was sure he'd killed pass him on the street and climb into a limo.  <br/><br/>Jack asks a friend to look up the license plate, the government gets involve...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/41827306">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Persuader has been the best of the Jack Reacher novels thus far.  To date they tend to require an absurd coincidence to jump start the story.  Once the story gets rolling, things come together nicely, and Child ladles in tons of interesting and entertaining facts and figures along the way.  They ten...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/59924784">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I was worried that since this was the fifth I've read in a row by this guy, that it would start to get old.  I don't know what it is, but it just doesn't.  He's that good.  This one, he by chance sees a man that he thought was dead--should be dead.  So he all out pursues him to get him dead again.  ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/39205899">more...</a>]]></body>
