Dear Reader

Welcome to BookCrossing and thanks for being a part of World Book Night 2011, the largest book giveaway in history. 1,000,000 specially printed copies of 25 different books changed hands on March 5th 2011 and began their journey from reader to reader. This book is one of them. World Book Night has joined with BookCrossing to help track these books as they travel. You can be a part of that journey by making a comment in the book's journal here on BookCrossing. Your journal entry can say how you got the book, what you thought of it, your plans for it or whatever else you might like to add.

On BookCrossing you may choose to remain anonymous or join (it's free). If you join, you’ll be alerted by e-mail each time someone makes another journal entry for this specific copy of this book (other copies of the book are travelling with their own ID number. Every copy of every book has a unique ID). It’s all confidential (you’re known only by your screen name and no one is ever given your e-mail address) and spam-free.

Thanks in advance for being part of World Book Night and BookCrossing. And happy reading and sharing.

This book is being released via BookCrossing on 5 March 2011 as part of the inaugural World Book Night. With the full support of the Publishers Association, the Booksellers Association, the Independent Publishers Guild, the Reading Agency with libraries, World Book Day and the BBC, one million books will be given away by an army of passionate readers to members of the public across the UK and Ireland.

Read and release!

Killing Floor is the first book in the internationally popular Jack Reacher series. It presents Reacher for the first time, as the tough ex-military cop of no fixed abode: a righter of wrongs, the perfect action hero.

'THE KILLING FLOOR' is a dynamic, intricate thriller which literally keeps you turning the pages. The character of Jack Reacher is very strong; deceptively simply written and wholly engaging.

This is going to Scotland to fulfill a wishlist.
If you aren't familiar with Bookcrossing, take a few minutes to check out this very cool site. Bookcrossers LOVE books, and more than anything, they love to read books and then set them free for other people to find and enjoy. I would love it if you would leave a journal entry -- you can say where you found the book or how you liked it when you read it.

Thank you so much for this surprise! When I decided to start reading the Jack Reacher books in order, I was buying them whenever I saw them in charity shops but this first book remained elusive. I even applied to be part of World Book Night with this as my first book choice but I was not accepted and there were no WBN events in my area to go searching for one. So this book is very gratefully received. Thank you.

I really enjoyed this but it wasn't what I expected. I've been collecting the Jack Reacher series for a while now, just as I see them in charity shops but the first book has always been elusive until now, but I never really knew the background. I wasn't expecting a bit of a 'madman' on the loose if that is the right term. Looking for for the next one because that has also been elusive. Got to say - Tom Cruise for Jack Reacher in the film? So wrong! I've heard people say that already and now I know the first thing you read in the book is that Reacher is 6' 5" and 113kg. Hollywood make-up may be good but surely not that good.

I've picked this for A-Z roundabout - I'm the letter K. On it's way to the next person.

Great book to pick:) I am looking forward to reading this during the next few weeks or so. However I have a duplicate copy so will pass this on in early November to the next person.

Oh yes thoroughly enjoyed this book and looking forward to getting on to Number 2 of the Jack Reacher series.

Posting on to the next participant in the A-Z roundabout

Received as part of the international A-Z roundabout, looks interesting!

Sending the book on to the next reader in the international letter round robin.

I enjoyed this book a lot. My first in the series and it made me curious about the rest of the series (eventhough some of the other readers say it is quite different from the other books). I am normally not really enjoying thrillers / detectives, but the storyline was quite convincing in my opinion and not pretictable.

**** UPDATE ****
Today I came back from holiday and I got the enveloppe back that the book was in, stating the address I used was wrong. However: the book was not in the envelope :( Could be because our mailbox was completely full, so I hope I will get it within the next days. I will update once I know more.

Just wanted to add that Trik bought a replacement book for the roundabout and it continues here:-
