FORMER avid reader and fan of Lee Child’s Jack Reacher series. Ever since Andrew took over it’s not the same. I waited about 2 weeks to get from the library for Sentinel...I struggled through about 100 pages and gave up, never finished the book. I’m done.....

I'm with you. Jack Reacher was a great character for the first three or four books, but after that, he wore out quickly. Every town this guy visits has some kind of major conspiracy going on, usually involving a murder or other nefarious situation. 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.
