The Hard Way by Lee Child

3.0

I love Reacher. Not in the way that most of the female characters in these books love Reacher despite the fact that he's usually wearing 3 day-old clothes. No, I love his thought processes and his moral code as applied to the dicey situations he always finds himself in.

But I need a break. A trial separation. Reading this and [b:One Shot|220968|One Shot (Jack Reacher Series, #9)|Lee Child|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172820043s/220968.jpg|213966] back to back took our relationship beyond casual, and it didn't wear well. The little things that you can normally ignore get magnified until your brain starts forgetting about plot and screams "how does he know Manhattan like the back of his hand?" or "is he really likely to carry a Metrocard and know how to use it?"

High-sugar brain candy; apply sparingly.
