FROM THE BACK COVER:
Late at night, a New York cafe, Jack Reacher orders coffee in a cup made of foam, not China. So he can move on at a moment's notice. He owns nothing, carries less.

This book was passed onto me by my mother with her recommendation. My sister-in-law also liked it.
The story kept me turning the pages, despite that I found the writing jarred with me in places, eg. "Reacher, alone in the dark. Doing it the hard way." Groan!
He travels only with the clothes he's wearing and a toothbrush. The story never referred to him having a beard, so if he carries nothing more how does he shave? And no change of underwear!

Left with magazines, just inside to the left of the entrance.

I had a cup of coffee (but unlike Jack Reacher's foam cup in the story, this one was china) and asked if I could leave some books. The friendly owners said I could leave a couple, so I let them select the books and this was one of the two chosen. I am driving north and will find other places to leave the remaining books.

PS: A few days later I was actually sitting at the computer entering two more books that I had released that day in Mungindi, NSW and St George, QLD when I was thrilled to see ‘Danger to Elizabeth’ and ‘The Hard Way’ appear on the side of the screen under "Recently Caught". I look forward to seeing ‘The Hard Way’ being released in either England or Canada.

I received an alert this morning about books released in 'The Cocoa Bean' in Bathurst. Seeing that one was about Elizabeth I, and the Tudor period of history is one that fascinates me, I thought I would see if the books were still there. Thrilled that they were. This one will be good reading for my husband - he is looking for a book to read and release when we travel to England and Canada in June. I will release it somewhere on our travels when he finishes it.

Update: 13.03.2011 Well, the book travelled around the world, unread. We have now both read it and I will release soon.

Journal by Lea 01April from Penshurst New South Wales Australia
I captured this book at Sydney Airport Domestic train station on Tuesday 29 March. I will be going to the States 20April and plan to release it there. This is my first encounter with Bookcrossing and I look forward to tracking the journey of ' The hard Way'

Thanks for calling in - hope you have more luck in releasing the book OS than I did...

I really enjoyed the book and have finished it in time to set it free in Los Angeles, tomorrow.
so, it is currently 'flying high'

I interned to leave the book in LA however I set it lose in the foyer of the Radisson Hotel in Tuscon Arizona on the 3rd May

I have read this book too (in fact, I bought it) and I passed it to Goldenwattle with my recommendation. I wasn’t a member of BookCrossing then, but I am now. The book will now be added to my list and will appear on the Go Hunting list.
It was released on the 3rd May at the Radisson Hotel in Tucson, Arizona and is possibly not there now, but you never know.

I enjoyed this book and found it a page turner.
