Nothing to Lose (Jack Reacher, No. 12) 279 reviews Lee Child
Delacorte Press, 2008
Messing with G?d and war... still a MASTER!
First of all let me clarify something.
There's clearly a campaign in Amazon against this book.
You have hundreds of dismal reviews based on one thing only:
Child messed with WAR PROFETEERING creeps!
and the usual fascist monkeys came out to oppose this book.
Pitiful.

Has Dean Jumped the Shark?
Before anyone throws stones in my direction, I am one of those rabid fans who has read everything Dean has written. He is the one author who's books I purchase new automatically, the hardback version, the one where I have to plunk down some real bucks because I can't wait to enter Dean's world. ...

Vonnegut throws in several emotions, varying from humor to depression, most of which the stories are individually tailored to. Overall these were excellent stories and very thought ...
