PROBLEM: Very little action, and other problems . You have to read about 180 pages of this book before any action starts. I was frankly bored by the entire book. Once the action starts, it's fairly contrived. Reacher is one of those very lucky or very unlucky "heros." And if you're one of those readers who like to try to figure out who is doing the dirty deeds, you can't. There are absolutely no clues you can use to determine the perpetrators.    And who says the Secret Service doesn't act proactively? While this is one of the book's major premises, the history of the Service is filled with proactive activities to protect those who come under their care.    I remember once when the President came to my hometown and spoke on the Statehouse steps. Office workers in nearby buildings used telescopes to get a better view. All of them were seen by Secret Service agents and men with guns visited them in one big hurry. Radios were used in abundance. And this was over thirty years ago. Do you think the Service has become more capable or less capable since then? If a single radio was used in this story, the perpetrators would have been caught about halfway through the book.    When President Bush (the first one) wanted to walk across the Mackinac Bridge for the annual walk, they took over the entire hotel where he would be staying, and not because they needed the space. A list of others who would be in attendance during the walk and at the dinner the previous evening had to be vetted starting 6 weeks prior to his visit, including local police. They even kept the pitcher of ice tea that he would be drinking from in a locked box watched over by an agent (same with condiments). After spending a bazillion dollars up to and after the President's meal, the Prez graciously paid for his own meal, and left a nice tip. Big of him. So agents don't just show up a couple of hours or in one case in the book, a few minutes before the big event, and throw a cordon around him.     I was also left with some unexplained questions at the end.    So, it's dull, inaccurate, and an insult to those brave souls who protect our nation's leaders

PROBLEM: Tourist Tramp . What a disappointmet!  What I was hoping would be a useful tourbook full of interesting facts about world bathing cultures and history turned out to be a lurid expose of Brue's downward moral spiral -- her characters would be mortified to read passages that recount how she was "not supposed to tell", how she rationalizes her infidelity (poor, poor Charles -- let's hope you stopped paying the bills and rent and moved out).  Her superior attitude is unearned and unwarranted -- what gives this 27-year-old the right to lord herself over those with more experience and aptitude?  Another reviewer compared Brue's writing to Bill Bryson.  I have news for you -- Bryson has a sense of wit and humor as he vivisects cultural (and human) anomalies.  Brue is just plain cruel and mean -- where's the fun in that (for the reader).  Shame on the editorial staff at Bloomsbury for buying into a good concept (it was a good concept) and letting it go to seed.  Brue's experiences are best left to the diary.  Instead of elevating bathing studies into the pop limelight, she sends it to the red-light district where she is infinitely more comfortable.  And the net result -- she, her readers, and her contacts all suffer from bad research and bad writing in this self-serving piece of trash best left on the beach, buried and unread
