I really enjoyed this book. It was a bit long and lost momentum near the end, but it picked back up, and the ending wasn’t dragged out.

Jack Reacher was an incredibly compelling character. He felt like a friend - cool, confident, and effortlessly capable. I loved how unfazed he was by everything, just shrugging things off and staying in control no matter the situation. His laid-back, almost detached attitude made him fascinating to follow. 

One of my favorite things about the book was the writing style. The sentences had a natural, conversational flow, like someone casually telling a story to a friend. The mix of short, almost half-sentences with longer, more detailed ones gave the book a rhythm that kept me engaged.

This isn’t my usual type of book, but the author made it compelling enough that I’m hooked. I’ve already put the second book on hold because I can’t wait to see what Jack Reacher does next.
