Review:
An excellent thriller, but most people say that this book hasn't got enough action, compared to the other Reacher thrillers, but to be honest, that doesn't really bother me. Using the "X hours to go" kind of thing really worked for me, cranking up the tension to nearly breaking point.The suspense in this thriller is not really the Agatha Christie sort of suspense, where you just want to find out who the bad guy is, and nearly always end up being surprised. The Jack Reacher suspense lies in trying to figure out what will happen next, and I have to say, in that point, it totally succeeds. I just bombed through, puzzling over what would happen next, and being nearly unable to put the thing down. So yeah, for me 7/10 stars, or in the case of Goodreads, 3/5.
