This is the third Jack Reacher novel I've read, but I've been jumping around in the chronology. I believe I've read the first, and then this and one other, which I believe are both fairly recent. I suppose I could look that up, but it's not all that important. But my point was that I was a little su...

Turns out there is more to his new traveling companions than meets the eye and Jack Reacher finds himself on a car ride th...

OK, it was a Reacher book, so I could not read it without thinking of 16 other Reacher book that I have read, which made it OK, just OK, not great, unlike many others of the series. Hoping for a better effort next time.

As always, I loved every moment of this rollicking ride, but what is with his sudden obsession (definitely Asperger-ish) with numbers? How can we not have known that Reacher is practically unable to hear a sentence without parsing the number of words, or the frequencies of the various letters?

You know how your parents tried to teach you a few things as a kid? Things like, don’t run while crossing the road, don’t talk to strangers and specially, never get into a car with people you do not know… Well, it doesn’t really apply in Jack Reacher’s case. First, because he travels mostly by hitch...

Ok, I like Jack Reacher novels. They're formulaic, completely predictable, and the action scenes are fun, in a shoot-em-up kind of way. I do continue to have a slight problem with his juvenile taunting, which often deteriorates into "yo mamma" territory, but maybe that's just me. What I really need ...

I liked less than half of this book - mostly just the beginning and ending.

I've read some bad reviews of this, so I went in expecting the worst. In all honesty, it was pretty good. Maybe not vintage Reacher, but this was solid. I think it helps when I can say I grew up close to where this all ends. I can visualize the area, know the towns. For me, it made it even more fun...
