About this listen

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • THE BLOCKBUSTER JACK REACHER SERIES THAT INSPIRED TWO MAJOR MOTION PICTURES AND THE STREAMING SERIES REACHER

ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR:
Los Angeles Times, The Guardian, Suspense magazine • Stephen King calls Jack Reacher “the coolest continuing series character”—and now he’s back in this masterly new thriller from Lee Child.

“Why is this town called Mother’s Rest?” That’s all Reacher wants to know. But no one will tell him. It’s a tiny place hidden in a thousand square miles of wheat fields, with a railroad stop, and sullen and watchful people, and a worried woman named Michelle Chang, who mistakes him for someone else: her missing partner in a private investigation she thinks must have started small and then turned lethal.

Reacher has no particular place to go, and all the time in the world to get there, and there’s something about Chang . . . so he teams up with her and starts to ask around. He thinks: How bad can this thing be? But before long he’s plunged into a desperate race through LA, Chicago, Phoenix, and San Francisco, and through the hidden parts of the internet, up against thugs and assassins every step of the way—right back to where he started, in Mother’s Rest, where he must confront the worst nightmare he could imagine.

Walking away would have been easier. But as always, Reacher’s rule is: If you want me to stop, you’re going to have to make me.

Uh oh...

I have all of the Jack Reacher series. I gave most of them a 5 star rating. I was so looking forward to a new adventure with Jack but I found that in this one that there was so much repetition in the beginning that I became bored with the story.

I hope that the next Jack Reacher novel can pick up the pace...

Heartland heartbreak

Make Me is Lee Child's 20th full length installment. This time out, Jack is riding the rails and disembarks in the middle of nowhere to learn the origin of the place's name, Mother's Rest. What he finds is a missing investigator and then teams up with the partner to solve that mystery. With the help of a reporter and an underground hacker, Jack must deal with hitmen for hire while unraveling the secret behind pastoral setting.

Jack deductive reasoning skills, his physical prowess, and his marksmanship skills are on display. While the ultimate hidden secret would not be so mysterious to anyone familiar to the internet, it's still refreshing to watch Jack sort it all out and piece together the disparate clues. Most importantly, Jack does finally learn the origin story for the town.

Dick Hill as usual offers a superb narration with the perfect Reacher rendition and a solid range of other characters of both genders.

Jack Reacher story bias..

When it comes to Lee Child and Jack Reacher they are all good some are just better than others. I liked this story but not as much as I liked "The Persuader". Sorry to be so vague you either are a fan or not. For me I will always recommend Jack Reacher books.

Horrible narration

Narration almost made it unlistenable. Love Lee Child but the narrator ruined it. Made the female sound stupid, like every statement was a question. Made Jack Reacher - a character I love - sound like a lackadaisical hack. Will avoid all titles read by this Bill Schatner wanna be.

Jack reacher audibles are superior.

Love this particular narrator. His voice is great to understand, excellent to listen to. I know their are others, he's just my favorite.
Just my opinion.

Ok but bizarre story.

Good character development and story line. Concept a bit on the gory side. Good listen though!

Weaker Reacher

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I recently listened to Michael Connelly's Trunk Music, which was narrated by Dick Hill. One of the reasons I was eager to listen to Make Me was that it was also done by Dick Hill. Well . . . it's hard to tell it's the same guy. Terrific narration in Trunk Music and UNBELIEVABLY BAD narration in this one. I'm not exactly sure what kind of accent Hill was aiming for in this case for Jack Reacher (maybe Jack Reacher as 1930's mobster?), but it is distinctly odd and pretty terrible.

The plotting is also slow (plodding plotting?) for a Reacher book. Definitely not my favorite.

Not my favorite

Narration was not enjoyable. Too halting and lacked emotion. Teacher not believable and the woman sounded 103 years old
