Total junk read, but I still enjoyed it. Probably a nice palate cleanser between more serious books. I never love action sequences, so I did skim through those (and there were quite a few). Felt like I was reading a Derrick Storm novel. Thought the character of Jack Reacher got a bit more over-the-top as the story went on. I'd read another, but not ready to run out and grab it right this second.

I really wasn’t loving experiencing the first person POV of a man in the 90s.

I read this after watching the show and while I enjoyed the book, I was disappointed by the personality (or lack there-of) that was given to Jack. I like the show better and this was not rated as the best book in the series so other books could be better.

So really 3.5 stars, - as far as the thriller genre goes, this was good, but it's very over the top in the fact that it's written by a man for men about a man's man. While the 'sweet, sexy, southern female cop' who will sleep with you the moment you've been released from the prison you were thrown into due to a wrong conviction might be some men's fantasy, for me, it's a total eye-roller. Still, the plot was thorough (could actually have been 25% shorter, somehow) and you learn a few facts about a particular type of crime (it would be a spoiler to tell you which one).

Liked it but wouldn't pick it up again.  I am learning this genre is not for me.
