Collected Short Stories Provides Glimpses into Jack Reacher
While I had read most or all fo these short stories before they were well worth reading again. The timeline jumps all over, from Reacher's days in the Army as both a captain and a major to "present day" as a homeless wanderer taking on trouble where he finds it. No shortage of action and vintage Reacher maiming of bad guys. Also, some poignant moments and stories whose endings leave readers content yet wanting more.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you are a fan of the Jack Reacher series you will love this short story collection.
Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2021

As someone who has been a fan of the Jack Reacher series for quite a few years I am always seeking more to read on this unusual retired Army police officer who travels around the country and always seems to find unusual people and incidents to investigate. I love short stories and when I saw this book (No Middle Name: The Complete collected Jack Reacher Short Stories by Lee Child) on Amazon for a bargain price I immediately sent for it.

I recently received the book and found this Jack Reacher collection to be absolutely fantastic. I always try and make it a habit to begin a book from the first page and move on to the end of the book, unlike some people to jump around the chapters etc. This book begins with novella, “Too much time” which turned out to be an interesting story where a crooked cop attempted to frame Jack, but of course he is way too smart for that to happen. I moved on to read the rest of the wonderful short stories (Second son, high heat, deep down, small wars, James Penney’s new identity, everyone talks, not a drill, maybe they have a tradition, guy walks into a bar, no room at the motel and the picture of the lonely diner.

Even though I love a good action novel, but there are times I also like reading short story collections rather than full size novels, and I especially loved this Jack Reacher collection.

If you are a fan of Jack Reacher you should check out this fantastic short story collection.
Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Tactical Principles of the most effective Combative Systems).

What can be said Jack Reacher is one of my favorite characters! This was a nice bit of reading in terms of Reacher stories. Some of the stories I recalled having seen/read before. Like him being 16, shy of 17 in New York city during the son of Sam killings. The one with him in Okinawa, now that was new, plus a few more that were short and good. Nice reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars Not as dark when it's short
Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2018
Verified Purchase
One problem with novel-length Lee Child is that first the story can get a bit repetitious . Going back and forth and back and forth in the same place or with the same conflict. The second problem is that Reacher is sort of a dark soul. He doesn't have permanent relationships. He's a loner. Doesn't even have possessions but just his toothbrush and the clothes on his back. And that can be depressing. And, it's also , quite frankly, weird and unhealthy. ( Parenthetically though, if you like "noir", you probably won't mind this as much as I do . I'm looking for heroes and ~fully~ admirable lead characters if I'm gonna spend so much time with them .) What's great about this book is the two problems I mention are overcome because these are ~short~ stories . You don't overdose on sugar - or in this case, a somewhat dark and bitter aftertaste of having spent so much time with a highly skilled , brilliant , passionate about justice , but psychologically failed individual.

And Lee Child is a supremely intelligent , detail-oriented , suspenseful writer . He doesn't "phone it in". Or lazily start a franchise and farm out the writing to others like so many writers of action thillers do after they've written 10 or so books and, apparently, start coasting (cough, cough... James Patterson).

Child still has pride in his craftsmanship and puts the work in.

In other words, he's super competent. And these short stories are quite varied, giving you a bit more background for Reacher and how he grew up and how he developed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Wish he understood sentence structure
Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2022

Lee Child can weave an interesting tale about Jack Reacher but may drive readers who are familiar with proper sentence structure and use of punctuation to the brink. I know that’s the case for me. I purchased the entire Jack Reacher series of books after seeing the first season of the series. I never would have read so many of his books if I hadn’t already paid for them.
I have often wondered why, with all the money that Lee Child must have brought in from his writing, he can’t seem to afford a staff who will proofread and correct the many mistakes throughout his books. Same goes for his publisher.
I held onto hope with each successive book that he might learn something about writing and make his books easier to read. I hoped, with the addition of his brother on the last couple, that the books would improve but seemed to get only worse. Sometimes, 2 whole pages of back-and-forth banter are written with nothing to occasionally let you know who is speaking, so multiple readings may be needed at times to sort it out. I think almost all, if not all, of the pages have sentences with commas where none are needed, periods where commas are needed, clauses used as sentences, and a new paragraph starting from a clause that belongs in the previous sentence of the preceding paragraph. As I said, hard to read if you understand basic sentence structure.
There are often times where I wish Lee had done one iota of research to get facts right. I refer to passages in the stories where it was apparent that Lee Child had no experience or knowledge; I guess, more or less, the writing is off the top of his head.
Some problems are:
1: He thinks the flashing emergency lights of vehicles in the western states are the same as in much of the New England states (blue on fire trucks and red on police).
2: He didn’t know what the average shoe size in America is actually 10 ½ (stating it as 9)
3: He thinks a large man like Jack Reacher would have what Lee evidently thinks of as a large foot size of 11, instead of something closer to 14 or 15 (I am 6’1” and wear a 13.) I assume Lee has a small foot.
4: Lee has never been near a fast-moving train, thinking there is violent ground movement when the train is even over a mile away and hurricane force winds near one traveling 60 mph.
5: He seems to think that all gas stations and quick marts sell khaki pants and various shirts, packs of socks, and underwear.
6: Jack Reacher can knock anyone unconscious and very often dead with one punch. I can remember only a couple times when it took two.
7: He thinks face bones will “shatter” from a Jack Reacher punch and can knock out a gorilla or even an elephant. Jack also never has injuries to his hand or elbow from such amazing blows.
8: Jack Reacher’s hands are said to be as large as a dinner plate and his fists as large as Thanksgiving turkeys…really?
Yes, his books are hard to read for these and other reasons caused by lack of oversight by his publisher and lack of staff. Please, I hope never to find out he has a staff that lets this stuff through. Good storyteller, other than the lack of research on details and no idea as to sentence/paragraph structure..

Rating would be five for the story.

Have read many of the Jack Reacher books. This one has several shorter stories including two where Jack is still a boy growing up on army bases with his brother and parents. If you haven’t yet read any of this series, start with this one. It’s a great introduction to the Jack Reacher character.
