I really like the Jack Reacher novels however the plot of this one felt a little bit forced for me. I just couldn't buy it completey just at the very beginning. Still, I'm a fan and it had me guessing who, what and how with the plot. Sometimes I guessed right and sometimes I was caught completely by surprised.
I do like the fact that with each novel, we learn a little bit more about Jack and how he came to be and, for me, that's always a treat.
The only downside I'm beginning to see is Child's style of writing. Not that there's anything wrong with it - don't get me wrong. Its just that since I've discovered the Reacher novels and starting from book #1 I immediately want to to go the next one. But I have to pace myself. If you read them in succession too quickly, you pick up on the style of writing and then it becomes some what predictable. I don't want that to happen.
I've got plenty on my to-read list that I need to get to before I dive into another Reacher novel. But believe me, I always look forward to reading another Reacher novel!
Happy reading!!!!
