Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Lee Child has come to the end of the line with Jack Reacher. This book stretches credulity to its limit. Gone is the solitary Reacher using his deductive training to seek answers to nagging questions (like why would someone sell their West Point ring). This Reacher does not reluctantly break someone's leg when forced to fight. This Reacher is a killer; brutal, savage, remorseless. The body count in this book is at least seventy and the circular firing squads are just unbelievably amateurish. A waitress morphs into a military strategist and a two man band become special ops supporters in slaughtering the bad guys. In the past, most Reacher stories have some plausibility. This plot is totally unbelievable. I have read that Child is developing a tv series which will be an amalgam of previous Reacher novels. That may be the best future for his character because this novel suggests that after twenty-five novels, Child has exhausted the soil for developing future plots. For Reacher fans, don't waste your money.
