Jack Reacher was by far my fictional favorite character for the first five or six books, but I need at modicum of believably in my light reading, and Reacher, unfortunately, is no longer believable for me. He comes into a random town with no agenda, and always finds a major crime in-process, usually a major conspiracy of some kind, and solves it by using his military policeman detective skills and a lot of violence. Way too many coincidences for me. But I do love it when he kicks the snot out of several bad guys at once. Not believeable, but enjoyable.
