A very nice introductory tale into the Jack Reacher realm. The author's prose and style is short and terse. Like this. But in a good way. Probably won't sit nicely with the Grammar Police. That sets the tone, though, for Jack's character and from my perspective it works for me. The sex, violence, and drama aren't over the top; maybe a little thin at times but not as verbose as some authors that need to embellish on the minutia.

I really like the Jack Reacher character but I'm not a fan of Lee Childs ' overuse of the word "shrugged". For some reason this really bothers me, almost to the point of me not reading any further. The story is ok, but almost somewhat predictable or cliche for this genre. If your looking for a quick easy read you probably won't be disappointed.

1st one in written in the series. Great introduction to the character of a really good series of books. Somewhat predictable if you kept up with current affairs during the time setting of the book. The book delivers on the action multiple times. 1st person writing is kind of clunky to begin with and you can figure out what's going on and how it's going to end before Jack can see it.
