Lee Child's Reacher series has hit Book No. 20 with a resounding peal of<b> wisecracking glee</b> ("Are you going to be a problem?" "I'm already a problem. The question is, what are you going to do about it?"). Everything about it...is as <b>strong</b> as ever....Make Me is a<b> hot</b> one.
- Janet Maslin, New York Times
<b>Breathless</b> and<b> bloody.</b>..You can't help lapping it up.
Evening Standard
The fights are convincing and the dialogue is as<b> brilliant </b>as always.
Literary Review
I am very much <b>in love</b> with Jack Reacher - as a man and a <b>role model</b>. If I can't <b>shag </b>him, I want to be him.
- Lucy Mangan, Stylist
The Reacher books are <b>Westerns</b>: they are about the man of <b>honor </b>coming to the <b>lawless</b> frontier town in order to impose a<b> rough</b> sort of justice...[Reacher]’s leading us back into the wilderness, with the reassurance that our <b>psychopaths</b> are bigger and <b>stronger</b> than the bad guys’ psychopaths. 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.
- Malcolm Gladwell, New Yorker
Does a fine job of <b>ratcheting </b>up the<b> tension</b>...The <b>relentlessly entertaining</b> Reacher format shows no sign of wearing out its welcome just yet.
Mail on Sunday
As well as romance, there's as usual plenty of <b>fast-paced, punchy</b> action and deceptively deft plotting.
Sunday Mirror
I was unable to put thebook down...a <b>brilliantly crafted</b> mystery and one of Child's best.
