Reading these in chronological order, and finally got to the first one published. I can also finally watch the Amazon series now, since the first season is based on this novel.

This one set the bar for all of the ones to follow. Reacher is the knight errant from tales of chivalry, he's the lone stranger from westerns. He rolls into a new town, gets embroiled in local problems, and fights his way out. People typically love these books, or think they're trash. I'm in the first camp. I can always count on a Reacher book to get me out of a reading slump, or keep me occupied on an airplane.… (mais)

Great, short little book, from the author of the Jack Reacher books. A kind of meandering essay about the idea of what a hero is and how the idea has evolved (literally) with humanity and storytelling.

Worth reading, if for no other reason than this line: "There are only two real people in fiction - the storyteller and the listener."

The second Reacher novel. Still a propulsive read, but the coincidences and twists were just a little too much to swallow.
