John, nice character association! My rare criticism is how he is almost too perfect... then makes a blunder. Still enjoyable. And, after comparing Barry Eisler's books, I notice Child's sense of location, describing any particular real world location, feels weak.
Whoever in the thread suggested women don't dig these books must not have heard of Reacher's Creatures, lol, a term seemingly stolen from Child's official site --
