A little surprised at some of the Reviews. Thought I stumbled on the trolls blog against the Child brothers, in my opinion. I too have read all the Jack Reacher series. Love them all. Even this one. Some critics of the character, or authenticity of the story line. I momentarily get transformed into an unreal reality, with my Liam Neisson looking Jack Reacher. There is no real life Jack Reacher, or James Bond for that matter. If it was meant to be real life, Jack Reacher would be on America’s Most Wanted, as their most prolific serial killer. I get transformed to my usual world reading about Jack Reacher in this book. No different from any other book and loved it. Maybe very slight changes from the usual character as he does get his butt kicked a little. He is getting on and everybody changes through the ages. (Even Daniel Craig in James Bond). This was by no means disastrous. It gave my unreal reality some clarity. My motto is always take everything and everyone as you see it. Make your own opinions. I’m now down as I’ll have to wait eagerly for the next one, again. Read it and enjoy it.
