Review: Next Reacher Stops Watergate at Age 12!

I've read every piece of Reacher material written by Lee Child, but lately I've begun to rethink my loyalty.  I don't care whether it's Jack Reacher or the entire cast of The Expendables at age 16... No kid, who isn't a psychopath, knows this much stuff about life.  And let's just put the whole, 16 year-old takes on the mob in 1977 out of our minds because Lee is out of his.  The sex was gratuitous.  The death of the agent was dumb.  Reacher's ability to overpower street smart thugs just too far fetched. Then he profiles Son of Sam too, while having sex in a Chevette in pitch darkness caused by a blackout... Come on Lee... You're losing your touch.  Don't sell it all out (Tom Cruise anyone?).  Or maybe Lee's made so much money off of his loyal readers he really just doesn't care...
