Average, slightly far fetched thriller. Easy to read and quite enjoyable though.

Without a doubt, this was an exciting story. It featured many classic tricks of the genre, but that's not necessarily bad. What bugged me was the coincidences. There were too many. They were explained away, but in the end, they made the story kind of frustrating. Also, I'm really not a fan of "killing all these people was fine, because they were bad" types of stories. Just like with the coincidences, it could be justified, but I'd prefer actual justice instead of killing. I did like the main character, and so I'm a little tempted to read the next book. Maybe.

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.
