This review is written as both a tribute to Lee Child's writing talent and to encourage those yet to encounter this fascinating character to take the plunge with this key book or for those many Reacher addicts (as I am) to reread this one again-I first read it seven years ago. Like many good novels, this story is constructed around key real events in the author's own life so a biography is included. This is achieved by weaving in Reacher's family: mother and brother, who rarely are referenced elsewhere. This story allows Child to present his own philosophy of Life that underlies Reacher's character. This (464 page) book also exhibits Child's technique of building on very extensive research (in this case, the US Army) to give his books. This story explains why the series hero, Reacher spends most of his life exploring the U.S.A. This is the most important book in the incredibly successful Jack Reacher series of novels written by the best-selling author, Lee Child.
