ReviewsPraise for Killing Floor A People Magazine "Page-Turner" A Barry Award winner An Anthony Award winner "All [Jack Reacher novels] are ripping yarns, but.... Killing Floor wins awards for Best Corrupt Southern Town in a Summer Novel and Best Exploding Warehouse."--Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly "Combines high suspense with almost nonstop action. Reacher is a wonderfully epic hero: tough, taciturn, yet vulnerable."-- People "Great style and careful plotting. The violence is brutal... depicted with the kind of detail that builds dread and suspense."-- The New York Times "A complex thriller with layer upon layer of mystery and violence and intrigue...A long unsettling trip that leaves your brain buzzing and your stomach knotted. The author pens nightmarish images as casually as an ordinary writer would dot an 'i' or cross a 't'." -- The Philadelphia Inquirer "A tough, compelling thriller with characters who jump off the page."-- Houston Chronicle "Violent and visceral...A cut above...Reacher is as tough as he is resourceful. An exciting, edge-of-the-chair account. Compelling and relentlessly suspenseful."-- The Denver Post "Some novelists can write top-notch action and some can create compelling mysteries, yet it's rare to find both of those skills displayed in a single book. Lee Child's Killing Floor is one of them. But not content with writing a rip-roaring thriller, Child also gives us one of the truly memorable tough-guy heroes in recent fiction: Jack Reacher."--Jeffery Deaver "A big, rangy plot, menace as palpable as a ticking bomb, and enough battered corpses to make an undertaker grin."-- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Beautifully detailed action scenes and fascinating arcana about currency and counterfeiting...[A] taut and tough-minded first novel."-- Publishers Weekly "I love the larger-than-life hero, Jack Reacher. I grew up a fan of John Wayne's and Clint Eastwood's movies, and it's great to see a man of their stature back in business. Lee Child grabs you with the first line and never loosens his grip. Killing Floor is a terrific ride."--Nevada Barr "This is a kick-ass first novel by the very talented Lee Child. Hero Jack Reacher has presence and dimension--a man you definitely want on your side. Child has a sure touch and a strong voice. Definitely a talent to watch."--Lynn S. Hightower, "Terrific . . . Fascinating . . . Brutal . . . [Lee Child] knows what he's doing."-- The New York Times "From its jolting opening scene to its fiery final confrontation, Killing Floor is irresistible."-- People "Lee Child grabs you with the first line and never loosens his grip."--Nevada Barr "A rip-roaring thriller [and] one of the truly memorable tough-guy heroes in recent fiction."--Jeffrey Deaver, Praise for Killing Floor A People Magazine "Page-Turner" A Barry Award winner An Anthony Award winner "All [Jack Reacher novels] are ripping yarns, but.... Killing Floor wins awards for Best Corrupt Southern Town in a Summer Novel and Best Exploding Warehouse."--Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly "Combines high suspense with almost nonstop action.

The author pens nightmarish images as casually as an ordinary writer would dot an 'i' or cross a 't'." -- The Philadelphia Inquirer "This is such a brilliantly written first novel that [Child] must be channeling Dashiell Hammett... Reacher handles the maze of clues and the criminal unfortunates with a flair that would make Sam Spade proud."-- Playboy "A tough, compelling thriller with characters who jump off the page."-- Houston Chronicle "Violent and visceral...A cut above...Reacher is as tough as he is resourceful. An exciting, edge-of-the-chair account. Compelling and relentlessly suspenseful."-- The Denver Post "Some novelists can write top-notch action and some can create compelling mysteries, yet it's rare to find both of those skills displayed in a single book. Lee Child's Killing Floor is one of them. But not content with writing a rip-roaring thriller, Child also gives us one of the truly memorable tough-guy heroes in recent fiction: Jack Reacher. And throws in Southern atmosphere to die for. Here's to more of the same."--Jeffery Deaver, author of The Bone Collector "Child serves up a big, rangy plot, menace as palpable as a ticking bomb, and enough battered corpses to make an undertaker grin."-- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Beautifully detailed action scenes and fascinating arcane about currency and counterfeiting...[A] taut and tough-minded first novel...Two scenes of brutal violence in a nearby prison are tendered with exquisite precision, as is a stalking murder inside the baggage area of Atlanta airport."-- Publishers Weekly "I love the larger-than-life hero, Jack Reacher. I grew up a fan of John Wayne's and Clint Eastwood's movies, and it's great to see a man of their stature back in business. Lee Child grabs you with the first line and never loosens his grip.

Title sounds like a typical Jack Reacher novel!!
I had to answer yes to "Is the content compelling" even though I have not read the book yet. So far all the Jack Reacher books I've read have been great which makes me believe this one will also be like wise!!
