This has to be the first Reacher book that I found hard to get through. Mostly because it was full of elements that usually bore me. I've never been a fan of the political spy thriller or London gangster genres. There was a lot of sitting around in rooms talking military strategy instead of Reacher tackling the bad guys head and hands on.
I only slogged my way through to the end so as not to miss any important biographical info. But it was painful.
Thankfully, the synopsis for book 20 seems to get us back on track and Reacher back to familiar territory. I'll look forward to it.
