the reacher character is just too over the top for me, kind of like superman sans cape.
i think stephen hunter does a much better job in some of his books with the bob lee swagger character, who gets the bad guys but without the use of superpowers.

Disagree about Reacher (you need to read him from the beginning), but I can't believe I haven't thought of mentioning Bob Lee Swagger before now. An excellent series (and the series with his father, Earl). I am still working my way through them, as I don't want to get to the end too quickly. If you like sniper-based high voltage action, with a real tough-guy hero, then I can heartily recommend Stephen Hunter's books.
