Every now and then, I really enjoy a story about a tough guy who beats the bad guys.

And nobody is tougher than Jack Reacher and the bad guys he beats are really bad.

This is only the second of the Jack Reacher books I've read. I hope that others don't follow the pattern of Jack just being in the wrong place at the wrong time and winding up at the middle of an enormous and murderous crime. But if all the others do follow this pattern, I'll still read them.
