While I understand some of the criticism others have left, I have a different take on this story.1. The sex scene - it didn't seem very graphic to me, no more than any other similar scenes from other Reacher stories. The fact is, Reacher likes women, women like him.  At 16, he would have been just learning and having many of these experiences for the first or second time.2. While it is true that the historical connection was a bit "Forest Gumpish", it did add a bit of flavor to the story.3. Yes, Reacher is only 16 in the story but, as has been well established, he is a very different sort of man and was a different sort of boy. Being who he is, how he grew up, it is very believable that he would have reacted just the way he did in the situations.4.  I did not like the ending.  I am also curious about if the "same night, same time, same place next year" meeting ever took place.Well worth the price. If you like Jack Reacher stories, don't let the negative reviews scare you away. If you are unfamiliar with Reacher or only know him from the recent movie, don't start with this story, at least read The Killing Floor first.
