catastrothree 's review for:

Personal by Lee Child
4.0

POV: 1st Person

One-Sentence Summary: Reacher goes to London to kill an old nemesis before he kills him.

Positives: It's Jack Reacher novel! I really liked the premise and the fact it was set for the most part in London, in familiar territory with a lot of in-jokes I appreciated.

Negatives: What really let me down with the last few Jack Reacher books is that the endings are always such an anti-climax. There's this big build up and then Spoilerboom-Kott is dead without much verbal sparring or an awesome life/death fight. Also, I saw the O'Day thing coming a mile off ever since he was mentioned in the report about the bulletproof glass.

Also, since when has Boots started selling pay-as-you-go phones?!
