From the opening paragraph to the end, this was my kind of book. Glad I'd never seen the movies - I think that would have wrecked it.

dark sad tense

Enjoyable thriller romp; a perfect palette cleanser between heavier/denser fare (whether a lore-intensive fantasy book or something from Cormac McCarthy). Alas, I had heard about Tom Cruise playiong Jack Reacher, and now I constantly imagine Cruise headbutting his way through bad dudes whenever I think of Reacher.
