review:
'Personal' is number 19 in the Jack Reacher series. The good thing about this series, is that it remains pretty consistent, even after 19 books. It's also pretty good modern noir fiction.
Jack is minding his business in Seattle when he gets a message in the paper from someone he owes a favor to. Before he knows it, he's on a jet to the East coast where he finds out a sniper has tried to kill the French president with a nearly impossible shot. Only a small handful of people could have made the shot at that distance, and one of them has a link to Jack. Before long, Jack finds himself on another jet to Europe. In typical Jack style, he finds himself in one mess after another and then finds his way out again.
Lee Child has a writing style I've liked. It's sort of a hard-boiled prose that's fun to read. For Reacher being such a serious person, he's kind of funny. I loved the description of kicking a door down being compared to baseball. Actually, baseball was mentioned quite a bit in this book. It was a fun read and I enjoyed it.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Random House Publishing Group-Bantam Dell, Delacorte Press and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
