When Jack Reacher suddenly decides to ask a Greyhound bus driver to let him off near the town of Margrave, Georgia, he thinks it's because his brother once mentioned that the famed blues guitarist Blind Blake died there. But it doesn't take long for the footloose ex-military policeman to discover that there are plenty of strange--and very dangerous--things going on behind Margrave's manicured lawns and clean streets that demand his attention. This first thriller by a former television writer features some of the best-written scenes of action in recent memory, a crash course in currency and counterfeiting, and a hero who is just begging to be called on for an encore.

 Great Action and Imaginative Plot for a Unique Hero Februar 11, 2007

Jack Reacher has spent the six months after being "downsized" out of the army avoiding work and shunning "official" society. He buys his clothes to wear for a few days, buys more and discards the old ones. It's a new definition of traveling light.
Near Atlanta, he remembers a story about the death of Blind Blake, the guitar player, which Reacher's brother had written about. In a sudden impulse, Reacher persuades the bus driver to drop him off near Margrave, Georgia, the site of Blake's death.
Coincidences quickly multiply as Reacher becomes the "usual suspect" for a brutal murder that occurs just before he arrives in the area. Wheels move within wheels as his fellow prisoner tells him that there's a dangerous conspiracy going on . . . and that it most be broken by Sunday.
Reacher uses his skills as a former MP to keep himself and others safe, and finds himself tasked to the limits of his abilities.
The book has some of the best hand-to-hand action you can imagine in a thriller. The plot has some marvelous concepts floating around in it. Above all, the book is fun to read. Reacher will appeal to readers who like lonely rebels and vigilantes who right wrongs.
The novel has some rough patches in the story. Some of the coincidences are a bit far-fetched. If you are good at suspending disbelief, you will probably rate this book higher than I did. Some of the imagery is a trifle on the gruesome side, so the book isn't for those with squeamish tastes. The ending doesn't quite work, but it didn't harm my enjoyment of the story too much.
Pay attention to the Blind Blake story line. It's one of the stronger elements in the book.

Yes, Jack Reacher takes some getting used to, I admit that. But he is likeable in his own way and gets even more so in the following books of the series. There is no denying that he has very little problems with violence but given his background that may be understandable (read The Enemy). But he grows on you (he is now one of my favorite characters) and he has some soft spots as well. Killing Floor is not my favorite Reacher novel but it was the book that got me hooked. I can recommend it to people who are not easily shocked by a bit of blood.

Kann ein Buch schonungslos grausam, ein Hauptdarsteller auch eiskalt sein und dennoch gleichzeitig ein sympathischer Held? Er kann! Jack Reacher ist dieser Mann: Wie eine aktualisierte Version von "Dirty Harry" schreitet Reacher intelligent und charismatisch durch die wirklich packende Handlung, hilft den Beduerftigen und ist gleichzeitig erbarmungslos gegenueber allen Gangstern.
Mit Jack Reacher hat Lee Child einen neuen Helden fuer das neue Jahrtausend geschaffen. Bleibt nur zu hoffen, dass alle seine Buecher aehnliches Niveau erreichen!

Jack Reacher cleans up, everything. Corruption, Crime, racism.
and he tells you how to kill and when to kill. A valve to your brain when you feel like self justice... Good thriller anyway.
