This is probably my least-favorite Jack Reacher book so far (or maybe tied with Without Fail). It's the 12th full-length Reacher book I've read. [I'm not a fan of the short stories. There's not enough time to get serious and flesh things out.]

If one took a drink every time Child writes "I/she/he/Summer/the guy said nothing," one would need emergency care. It has a place in the story, but every other sentence in some sections is too much. We get it!
