Short story "Everyone talks" is contained in "No Middle Name" is book #26 chronologically. It follows from "Knowing you're Alive" (2011) and before "Never Go Back"…

I loved this book, the stories are rich & filled out, leaving you to ponder exactly why Reacher is the way he is. Classic Lee Child. Amazon Studios, Skydance TV and Paramount TV Studios have found their Jack Reacher. Alan Ritchson…

An engrossing collection of Reacher short stories. More hard-hitting and intriguing than many of Lee Child's other full-length and often overly detailed novels.

"To each, their own " said the farmer as he kissed his cow. Each reader has his or her own tastes. For me, I found these short stories more enjoyable and engaging than many of the novels. Succinct, free of minor plot…

I liked the first few books but I did not read them in order (but I think I approximated the order). In the later books, the bad guys are just crazy 2-d figures who do horrible things to people - like really, really despicable things and…

I thought that short stories would not be able to do justice to Reacher's prowess; however, much to my surprise, each of the short stories in this collection was complete and just the right length. I would almost go so far as to say the…

Commented on Jul 29, 2017 5 are previously published novelettes as ebooks or bonus in earlier novels. Other than the new entry, “Too Much Time,” the rest are short adventures that spanned over the course of hours to a couple of days…

Some good, some not so much but a nice way of showing us the young Reacher without reverting to endless flashbacks in his current novels. I have given up on Child due to his sell-out to Hollywood by allowing Tom Cruise to portray Reacher-a…

This collection of short stories is a lot of fun to read. I particularly enjoyed the ones about young Jack Reacher.

I just love Jack Reacher, and this book didn't disappoint. Fast paced and action packed. A whole lot of ass kickin packaged in these short stories. Five stars from me!! Lee has a new Reacher novel on the way called "Midnight Line: a Jack…

Not a bad summer read - enjoyed the young Reacher stories...

Total disappointment! Lee Child just cashed in on his reputation with the Reacher novels by writing this drivel for an easy paycheck. Stick to what you know, and short story writing is not Child's forte. 1/5 stars.

Love Jack Reacher books, but this was my least favorite. Most of the stories were not the Jack Reacher we're generally accustomed to

Disappointing to re-read novellas I have already purchased over the years now repackaged as a new Jack Reacher novel. Like the book, Jack's Rules, I felt ripped off. If you haven't read these previously they are VERY GOOD stories. They…

I'm as big a Reacher fan as anyone, but this short-story book: not so much. Everyone has particular strengths and weaknesses, and it seems that Lee Child's strength is full-length novels.

I enjoyed the new short stories found in this collection, as well as the others that were published previously!!

I enjoyed this collection of stories. Most are about 50 pages long. They feature Reacher at several different ages in widely disparate situations. This probably shouldn't be your first Jack Reacher book. I doubt I would have gotten as much…

Have always been a fan of Jack Reacher novels - even the most far-fetched ones - but this collection of half-baked stories fails to pass muster.
