Child is a master of the perverse solution to the set of questions no-one ever asked in quite that way before, and the macho yet sensitive Reacher is one of the more interesting series characters in thrillers. One Shot is a smart set of puzzles which strings the reader along to false conclusions and a sense of real danger. It also, like its hero, has a heart. --Roz Kaveney
...Continua這次的故事是首度被拍成電影的李奇探案，剛上映時就去看了，當時覺得好看，也知道了大致的劇情架構和謎底，所以我那時想說，以後小說追到這集時就只耐著無聊把它啃過交差了事，我錯了。
小說更好看。
前大半段的架構是相似沒錯，但是中間冒出了許多有趣的枝節，從莎蒂被殺開始我就知道一切都跟電影不同了，好戲才開始呢！後來李奇把安雅尼拉進了團隊，組織起了一個臨時的調查團!完全是非正規的行動，我真佩服這些人的勇氣，還願意一起前往敵陣去解救人質。最後的入虎穴之戰也比電影精彩百倍，李奇才不是像電影那樣有勇無謀的橫衝直撞，完全不會被子彈打到，而是靠戰術取勝。而最後李奇釣出自白的方式也很高明，我當初還在困惑到底要怎麼幫巴爾脫罪，李奇解決了。結尾的連環意外翻轉更是顯現了李查德佈局功力的精妙，已經完全擺脫了早期在至死方休和一觸即發等故事裡面亂槍打鳥的克敵方式了，現在的李奇是萬夫莫敵。
another good Reacher book! Interesting storyline about a man from Reacher's past in the military, and a mass murder that may not be what it appears.
Good thriller. I didn't like the beginning, it felt disjointed, however, once Reacher showed up it seemed to hang together better. Airplane read, complicated, but manages to work itself out!
