Review: A good yarn, but a little too much

This is a story about a teenaged Jack Reacher.  It starts out with the same rapid fire action we're used to in Lee Child's novels.  I finished it in one sitting and enjoyed it all.  It is, after all, a very short novel, or maybe a pretty long short-story.  The author couldn't possibly develop it like a novel in the time he had. I can't believe the whiners who gave it one star. My main issue was that almost 17 YOA Jack Reacher seems to have all the street smarts and investigative insight of the experienced MP officer we're use to.  That was hardly believable, but it WAS a really good story!
