I generally liked this short story.  The author has a good writing style and keeps the reader engaged.  The characters are generally well developed and likable.  The main dislike is the utter infallibility of the main Jack Reacher character.  He is not very believable as he is written too perfect and infallible *especially* considering that he is described as an 18 year.old. The physical and intellectual actions he performs and deductions he makes, are more fitting of a 40 year old Navy SEAL- Rhodes scholar - Super hero -psychic combination. This was the only disappointing thing I felt about the novel.I will look at the further novels of Lee Child.  I see a movie has been made featuring the Jack Reacher character.  Based on the book, I'll certainly make a point of going to  see it.
