DNF.
Abgebrochen, aufgrund mehrerer Gründe, die mich in den Wahnsinn trieben. Das größte Ärgernis ist aber bei weitem Jack Reacher selbst, der als Ex-Militär angeblich keinen Ausweis, Waffenschein oder gar Führerschein besitzt. Er nennt eine gestandene Polizistin 'Babe' und anstatt einen Tritt in die Testikel zu kassieren wird er für diese Frechheit mit Sex belohnt. Er ist der Beste, Schlauste und männlichste Amerikaner überhaupt. Blegh.

Writing is not so great. Many sentences that aren’t proper sentences. Fun plot. Interesting twists.

If you want a story about a big guy who has sex and kills some bag guys (not at the same time), this is the novel for you. The writing isn’t great and I wish I had a dollar for every sentence that was not really a sentence. If you haven’t read any Parker novels, give them a try.

Jack Reacher Series Book #1

It's not a bad start to the series. I found it difficult to get into the writing style at first, but once I did it was smoother. There were still times I was just bored with this book though. I'm not sure if I will continue or not, it will be on the bottom of the pile for me. Jack Reacher as a character is well done, I think the character lives up to the hype, but the book as a whole does not for me. There is a lot of coincidence, and some plot holes that just didn't fit for me to the point the like of the character couldn't override it.

I also did like that while there was a lot of predictable things that happened throughout the book, there were a bunch of surprises too. Some of the reveals I expected, some I had a feeling about and some I really didn't even have a clue.
