I love the Jack Reacher stories, and this was ok, but really stretched the limits of plausibility. A 16-yr-old Jack sees who he believes to be the Son of Sam--based only on the gun he is carrying--for less than 60 seconds, identifies traits no one else knows about him, shares them with an FBI agent he met accidentally, who then notifies the authorities about what Jack knows, and wham bam, Son of Sam is caught. PUHLEEZE.On a side note, James Patterson just posted a link about Lee Child on Facebook that included this from Child himself, from an interview with the UK Daily Mail:  "I've been smoking weed for 44 years, five nights a week," the author confessed. "I'm the poster boy to prove it doesn't do you much harm. I have a guy on speed dial in New York who comes over with a huge range of marijuana. I smoke it in a pipe because I've never been any good at rolling my own joints." Child also claims "he keeps his writing razor-sharp by working while high on cannabis".Hmmmm.
