It can be very funny, kinda fanciful with some of his "military tactics". Overall fun read for a quick no brainer.

Not my favorite Reacher novel I've read so far, but the ending was by far one of the best I've seen from this series. I found it hard to like most of the side characters for a majority of the novel, which I think held me back from fully enjoying it. Still, I found myself thoroughly entertained throughout.
