So much fun! My brother rec'd this to me; he has great taste!

Parts of it were a bit of a slog for me, as I don't appreciate over-punctuating simply to make something dramatic, specifically when it's peppered all over the book. It made it slow and annoying in places :/ 

However! I liked the overall adventure of it, and seeing Reacher with a lil old lady was very wholesome. I liked his relationship with Peterson, too, and how ALIVE he seems here.

After seeing season 1 of the show on Amazon, I figured he wouldn't be likeable to me--too straightforward, dull, unexpressive, aggressive, etc. But, after reading one of the books, I have a new appreciation for him. He's truly just a guy who wants to do the right thing, even if he didn't choose to be there. I was pleasantly surprised to see how socially pleasant he is. He's honest, but not a jerk. He's righteous, but not in himself. He is helpful and caters to those around him. 

He's also huge and could kill me by osmosis.

Great book! Very fun

If you're a Reacher fan and reading out of order, this one is a disturbing cliffhanger.

I enjoyed the book, but I figured out the “twist” at the very beginning of the book, so the reveal was a little lacking. It made for some good mindless fun.

I have read the Jack Reacher books in order up until this one. Some are better than others... this one is great. I love the idea of the 61 hour countdown. And you never know a count down until what?? I did have to fight the ending in my head because it wasn't as brutal as I needed it to be after reading about this bad guy for 400+ pages, but in true Reacher, the bad guy dies, so do some other people, and Reacher goes off into the sunset to fight again another day.

So far this is my least favorite Jack Reacher book.
