I am a big fan of Jack Reacher, for sure. However, most of these stories were just adequate. I'm very disappointed. Lee Child did show Reacher at all sorts of ages and places, I'll give him that.

Somehow I'd missed most of these short stories, so reading them on their own, rather than tagged on to an existing novel, changed my perception of them, and all added to the mental picture I have of Reacher.

I actually didnt finish this. The short story format does not give me enough time to 'like' Jack Reacher or to develop any sympathy for the secondary characters. I'm not in this for the violence lol

Great collection of short stories filling in some of the blanks of Jack Reachers life. I am not a big fan of short stories but these I enjoyed.

Fun short stories of a young Reacher. Not too believable what he knows and how he processes (especially 16-year-old in the NYC blackout taking on the mob and leading an FBI agent).

Some uneven entries, especially the shorter ones near the end.

These short stories are okay but some are only a few pages long so it's not so much a story as just an afternoon in Reacher's life. A true Reacher fan will enjoy and I did especially like the ones that included his brother Joe and Sgt Neagley.

Jack NMN Reacher is a modern day pulp superhero. He's our generation's Doc Savage. These short stories only add to the wonderful mythos. They're easy to digest in individual segments, which is perfect for my personal mindset at the moment.
