This man lead me to reading more books consecutively than I had in years. His writing style is something to be achieved. The tactical knowledge he gives the reader to make their mind the greatest tool at their disposal has had a great impact on my life, not to mention my level of coffee enjoyment, Anyway...Thank you Mr Carr. Since I can't shake your hand this will have to suffice 🤝
same! I have a list to get to.
I love the details! It's one of the same things that always had me going back to Tom Clancy. Speaking of which, the Terminal List was the best revenge story I've read since Without Remorse.
Love the books Jack, one of my favorite authors and characters. The action and descriptions are awesome and really appreciate the detail coming from the author. What better than to have a SEAL write action.
For what it's worth I've loved listening to all 4 of the 1st books twice and have the new book on preorder and am awaiting may 17th. I am not a military man, But enjoy them immensely. I make a daily run from Dallas to Houston and back and they have kept me company for weeks.
@Jack Carr - you are far more kind than I. I would be offensively snarky at some of these reviews.
I am not a fan of BRC for several reasons (main one being I don’t care for the blends I’ve tried) and I do have issues of how and what has been said publicly regarding Rittenhouse. That has zero bearing on my watching your podcasts or reading your books. You are, in my opinion, one of the three most interesting and honest interviewers on the Internet. This podcast is reinforcement for my opinion. Who reads their negative reviews publicly? Who isn’t afraid of introducing a little biblical principle in their conversations? Few - that’s who. Thank you.
Your books rock and you rock. I like your product placements. I also like how you name drop and reference different Navy SEALs in your books.
I love your bad review podcasts. Hilarious! You are such a good sport!
Jack, good to see you taking all the BS in stride. I'm really diggin' all the craziness James Reese has gotten into. Can't wait for In The Blood. Keep up the good work. All the best from Queens, NY.
Read all 4 books from the library last year before finding out it's James Reece is pronounced "Reese" and not "Reckie". That's my only complaint.
Ha! Great, now I’ll be pronouncing it Reckie! Heh, Thanks. That’s funny.
Recce vs Reece, just change it call him what you like.
I would like to say your works are superbly written. The action is great, the relationships are relatable, and being fan of the 2A and the military I appreciate your insight and detail. I also understand they are writing negative reviews not necessarily for you but for others that hold their opinions mostly shown to be political none really seemed to attack the overall level of art that your writing is. Thank you Sir.
dude the books are so good! the way you explain each weapon system and all the fine little details puts it over the top im so pumped for the next book! keep it up man and thank you!
I appreciate your digging into the negative reviews. These are quite funny.
Jack I finished the Terminal List audio version last week and it is an excellent book, I gave it five stars across-the-board. Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into your book and I can’t wait to start the next one!!
Author who writes similar work and has a similar background, here, and I want to extend my humble appreciation for you doing this. It may not be walking into combat, but our stories, worlds, and the characters within are the result of long hours at the keyboard. Having people dismiss them (especially when it's just to appear clever to other perpetual malcontents) is a bitter pill, sir. I can't help but offer you my respect for taking one in the chin without losing your cool. Most people don't realize how bad those kinds of comments can hurt.
Keep doing what you’re doing. I have read all your books, watched the Terminal List movie and can’t wait for your future works. You make your family and the military proud.
Love reading the hater's comments! Keep it up Jack! Love your books! Thank you man!!
I find myself returning to your podcast constantly. Keep up the good work.
A weak man seeks revenge, a strong man forgives, an intelligent man ignores. Don't lower yourself to the level of your critics. You are a strong, confident and disciplined man. Carry on sir.
A fool ignores criticism because he’s afraid that he’s too weak.
Dude, don’t jock on a warrior, or you don’t respect them. Haha
Thanks for the great books! Looking forward to the next book and the upcoming series!
So here’s the thing the naysayers need to understand. If you’re a Jack Carr fan most likely you are a patriot and strong minded. So in effect their negative remarks are unlikely to have any affect on current fans and are probably just making anyone who hasn’t read the books but is reading the comments curious. As a fan who has read all of the books and a medic who has seen some things. The violence isn’t graphic, it’s realistic. Mr Carr’s fan base are people that are probably gear people we like reading about new gear we may not have otherwise encountered. I would not have developed a taste for Black Rifle Coffee if it weren’t for reading his books and that would be a pity. Thanks to his books and podcast I have started paying more attention to current events, expanded my reading interests and picked up new positive habits and gear aka I have grown as a person. So if you’re one of the Negative Nelly’s feel free to put that in your pipe and smoke it. 😏
I'm Hooked On Your Books Sir, They're Outstanding And Can't Wait For My Copy Of " In The Blood " !!!
Keep writing the way you want to. Can't please everyone, especially those CNN subscribers! You should take you tomahawk and shread those letters! Love your books and Ray Porter! Looking forward to the Amazon series!
Fan of the show Jack. Thanks for putting out good stuff. I’d like to give the negative commenters a big thumbs down 👎
Absolutely love your books and the attention to detail. I listen to the audio book while on patrol.
These videos are some of my favs from his content. Always a hoot.
What a hoot! I always enjoy your comments on your negative reviews. Have a great day. I look forward that to the new book in the blood
You’re the man, your books are awesome, and I appreciate all your wisdom shared with the world through UA-cam, Instagram, and your podcast. As an OIF and OEF infantry veteran I appreciate the references, screw the arm chair tactical turds.
In True Believer, I found the parts of his time in Africa fascinating. I really like his detailed descriptions of all manner of things that he puts in his books - history, warfare, gadgets, weapons, vehicles. Other authors may just kind of gloss over those details.
Jack, I've only recently read your four books. No review here. I got introduced to you via a BRCC interview w/ Evan Hafer. During the Podcast you talked about being a voracious reader and spoke of several books I had read as a teen, which led on to the U S Army. Infantry 21 years. However, I retired in 1997. I have been looking for new authors going forward as most of my favorites have sadly been dying off. So I've spent time getting to know you through your and others Podcasts. Your books are good, you deserve your accolades, but, you still have some rough edges for a reader such as myself. Most recent example is Vince Flynn. His first five book gave me the same feelings and then he matured and found his rhythm. I see the same linear growth with you. I especially enjoyed your reverse John Mack trek through Siberia. Great homage! In my day, I had a deployment for training to Rhodesia and trained with a unit of the Zealous Scouts. So I enjoy your odd choice of mix in history. Your sense of conservation is appealing in your characters. I was a single dad raising three daughters and I cherish the tools and devices you give to your children as they grow and develop. Knowing of your special needs child I pray for you and your wife to have stamina. I want to say, you have smoothed out your podcasts, but if you can bring your reading lists back quarterly, I'd really enjoy that.
BTW I can't pick a single book in the series to call my favorite. I like them all!
I discovered you after you were recommended by Clint Smith. Clint would send these people to their safe spaces. LOL
LOVE ALL YOUR BOOKS! To all those people you are responding to: get a life! Jealousy is not a virtue. Can't wait to read In The Blood. I've heard the audiobook preview over and over and over again! So good!
@JackCarrUSA While I can not make any claim to have served with you specifically, I can say that I served in the US military and deployed in a fashion that one might call a "force multiplier" for others in each branch's Special Operations or equivalents. Having served with many of them, there is a certain respect for those who have served, and those who are continuing to serve, regardless of their career fields. I've been a long time subscriber to this channel, and I have the "bell" set to "all" and yet I still have to manually check every day to see if you have put out any new videos. I only see this happening with youtube channels from one political side, so I have my doubts that you had any say in that happening, but I also was not sure if you were aware of it. Either way, Jack, I wish you and your family well, and can not wait to read your novels. I will of course keep an open mind, given our different career fields, focuses, and branches of service. One thing I wish more of those who wrote those reviews you read in this video would have done is kept an open mind to different points of view.
Thank you again, not only for your service and producing these novels, but also for putting out content like the videos here on this channel. Keep as safe and as healthy as you can, brother!
Jack, I can only imagine you would be a great guy to have a beer with. Carr for PREZ!!
I just want to know who would win: SEALs with ninja weapons, or Ninjas with SEAL weapons?
Outstanding Books, Characters and writing style keep doing what you do and how you do it!
I was just here for the podcasts but after hearing the reviews I have to start reading the books 😂😂😂
Love the books and the product placements! I've made a couple of purchases.
Keep the books coming!
Like so many others here in comments, I too was a SEF (Special Educational Forces), 180th Landborne, Umpteenth Division, Night Force Ranger Stalker Specialist, but of course I don’t like to talk about it. I have top secret RUMINT (Rumor + Menthol) info about this subject, which is why I’m arguing with GEARDO’s online… you see, I went to different high schools with Jocko Luttrell, therefore have firsthand intel from his mother’s second cousin. Lived next door to my grandpa, who was Delta force in Vietnam. Reminds me of a story from downrange. Well, there we were... I had garnered so much respect and admiration that I was named Col. Fobbit. “GI’s” (General Intestines) would gather round as I dispensed pearls of wisdom, their faces lit up with adoration and smiles, cleaning my H&J&K M&M15-47 Black Ops Special Edition Super Sniper with Scope (4 easy payments & extra magazine!)… sometimes they would cover their faces and have little choking fits… must have been the Moon Dust… but I digress… what was I saying? Ah yes, I definitely know all answers to all aspects of this subject, and can clearly say that *REDACTED REDACTED*
At first I was concerned about listening…have read first 4 books. Can’t wait for the new release! Lol….this was hilarious. Thank you!
It’s always fun to laugh at the armchair professionals negatively critiquing a professional. You write incredible books! At the end of the day, some people just have wrong opinions ;)
really looking forward to the terminalist show
I'd just like to complain about Book Shop. I have unsubscribed from the newsletter list four or five times and they keep spamming me. Anything you can say to them to get them to stop spamming?
Looking forward to David Morrell ... and why not have Ted Nugent in the Danger Close podcast?
Love the books, halfway through True Believer and I like it more than the first. Oh well, opinions ya know.
Morocco wasn’t completely redacted from true believer. I have the audio version and it slips through later in the book.
Really enjoyed your books and I'm looking forward to in the blood keep working
All great Books love them. Keep it up brother
Anyone that doesn't understand the over use of acronyms in the military has never been in the service.
Without acronyms, the entire upper structures of our military would collapse.
If they did read the book, what did they think they were getting into ?
I mean, yeah, we get a lot of technical information that doesn't really pull the story along. But that doesn't mean the story isn't relative and poignant. For my part, I LOVE the violence, and if anything, it's toned down a lot from what it is in real life. I don't need a pg-13 version of anything. If I'm paying my hard won money to be entertained, I don't want the punches pulled.
The gripes in these reviews are cringeworthy and downright laughable. But hey, you can't win them all. Then again, I'm also biased, seeing as you served as a huge inspiration to get me into writing.
Love the books, and can't wait for In The Blood. Keep crushing it, Jack!
Strangely ALL of these complaints actually make me want to read the series!!!! LOL!!! Revenge!!! Democrat bashing!!! Sig handguns!!!! Achronyms- FOBS - Whiskey Tango Foxtrot - Ballisics- KNIVES! Internal Damage!! HALO jumps, snake eating, rifle shooting Coffee drinking MACHO man girl banging FUN!!! IM IN!!!! Buyin the BOOKS!!! SEMPER FI!
All Jack car books are fucking awesome. The small details people are complaining about are what make up the back story & pathways for the what’s to come in the story. The people with negative comments regarding that aspect are definitely entitled to an opinion; however, it’s an opinion many don’t give two shits flying fks about.
You know the only other author I can readily remember/read (studied) that has been “criticized” for “too much detail”? Tolstoy. I believe Jack is in the best of company…
💥Jack you know it well haters 🤡 gonna hate cause their mind is weak . Love the channel content along with everything else! Keep it up your brother 🪂 from another mother . 💥
I always thought egypt instead of Morocco
Jack Carr’s books are so floppen good. Definitely chomping at the bit for in the blood
😂🤣people these days…freedom of speech to say what they want, but those reviews sound nuts. I bet some of those reviewers haven’t even read the books.
I have enjoy the series thus far, as well as seeing Jack mature as a writer. I love the fan service and the character development of James Reese…still hoping for some prequel books in the future.
I definitely would say first two books are my favorite third one it's ok but I definitely didn't enjoy the fourth one I felt like it was really long and boring for me interesting to see how the story goes in the book 5.
Fire Jack! You are the best!
Just goes to show ya everyone’s a book /movie / reality expert / critic
on the Internet.
I'm familiar with Frustrated Athletes, but I didn't realize there were so many Frustrated Writers!
I think your great, but I do have some questions. I have seen on your website and such you support Yeti brand even though they are anti gun. You also support Black Rifle Company even though they donated to Biden. Am I wrong, did I miss something?
He doesn't read these comments.
James Reese,

Where do these hater’s come off referring you to a liberal!
@ Jack Carr Oh, you bad boy! Sooooo violent. Tsk Tsk Tsk...
So inauthentic! “No touch with reality.” No experience with this violence thing. So sad.
Lol
Javier Rodriguez for a JR 🤣 I’m kidding of course that’s stupid James Reese is way better
Dem buks have meny big words in dem. Can yu make a colorin buk versions???
😂
Everything these guys complain about are the things I love. Dang, I must be off.
Sorry I forgot, Five Fucking Stars!!
I Like all the books, the first is still my all time fave; but I do hate to see that coffee company advertised, whose CEO thinks that me and all other pro Trump vets, are pieces of shit whom he would like to flush down the toilet. Two thumbs up for Carr, but two middle fingers up for the bastards at the coffee company.
I looked forward to these books, because they were written by someone who has 'been there and done that'. It kills my suspension of disbelief when an author has the protagonist flick off the safety on his Glock or the bad guy assasin screws a silencer on his revolver...
So I was seriously disappointed when in the first chapter of the first book, the protagonist smells 'cordite in the air'. NO! NO, NO, NO!
Ugh! Come on! First, its a hackneyed phrase used over and over and over. Second, cordite was a small arms propellent used by Britian in the first part of the 20th century. So, no, the hero did not smell cordite in the air, unless someone was rocking an SMLE...
Other than that, I've thought the books were pretty good. 3.5-4.0 out of 5
BRCC is overrated though
NEW book must be great if you are annoying these fools
