Review: Glad this wasn't my first Childs.
Rating: 2 out of 5

I have only recently added Childs to my list of favourite authors, Second Son being only the third novel of his I have read.  The first 2 in the Reacher series were excellent, and firmly established Childs as one of my new favorites, however this short insight into Reachers childhood was not.  While you could expect Reacher to have been a force to be reckoned with from a young age, the idea that high ranking members of the Militery were taking his orders and advise from the age of 13 is kind of ridiculous.  I think if this had been my first Childs novel it would have also been my last, so if you are new to Childs read just about anything else first.!!!
