An explosive start to the Jack Reacher series - I have already seen the movies and was always wondering how the novels could be better (because the books always are!). I'm not normally a fan of first-person narration but it fits the character superbly. Through the books, I get a much deeper sense of Jack Reacher's intellect, which was on display by Tom Cruise but this is magnitudes better.

I also loved the detective aspect - by keeping the narration from the first person and never switching viewpoint, I could also attempt to solve the mystery. It made the book twice as exciting. A great start to a series I look forward to finishing.
