I've been hearing about these books for some time now and so decided to give one a try. I was pleasantly surprised - it managed to be a formulaic thriller with a few twists up it's sleeve.

I saw the Picard thing coming a mile off, but completely missed the thing about the glasses. Similarly I missed the garage thing with the apostrophe, which I thought was quite cleverly done. For a novel introducing jack reacher, detail of his life is thin on the ground - though we do get the facts. there are many more to come and I'm sure some will be better than others.
