Jack has no car, no clothes other than those on his back, and no prospects other than looking for a situation to fix. So he beats up all of the town's bad guys (usually five or six at a time), breaking a few wrists or skulls, and singlehandedly solves the problems. Gets unbelievable quickly.
We have always found him a great read, agree not exactly believable but does keep us entertained.

Awaiting getting it from library.

Was disappointed in the movies. Tom Cruise was the worst possible person to play the lead role.
