No Middle Name: The Complete Collected Jack Reacher Short Stories by Lee Child

4.0

I’ll admit, I have a strong preference for Reacher in longer format tales. That opinion is based on many of the tales in this collection — I’d already read most of not all of the reprints in this collection, and was struck on first reading that the pacing of Lee Child’s novels are an integral piece of Reacher, to me, and short stories don’t allow for the same experience. That said, I enjoyed revisiting the stories more than the first go-round, and actually really enjoyed the stories where he only pops up as a minor character. All in all, fun if you’re already a Reacher fan, but don’t expect a novel-esque experience.
