Blue Moon has another inventive Jack Reacher plot beginning with a bus ride and an attempted theft, followed swiftly by Reacher coming between rival gangs of Ukrainians and Albanians. Reacher draws together his usual transitory tribe with a combined skill set capable of wreaking havoc. This was definitely a page turner, but the pages became soaked with blood from a wildly high body count, hence my 4 stars.

I plan to go back at some point. I had too many other books going on.

So, I have read everything Lee Child has written on Jack Reacher. I thoroughly enjoyed this one as well. My suspension of belief was really stretched to the limit. Oh well, looking forward to the next one!

Blue Moon takes our beloved badass, Jack Reacher, into a town where Ukrainian and Albanian gangs are in a turf war. He finds people who need his help, and does so by a whole lotta murder. Seriously, the death count in this one is off the charts, and I actually think we lose a bit of Reacher's "goodness"— he still saves innocent lives, but goodness gracious does he have some blood lust.
As with any JR book, it's entertaining and keeps you on your toes, even if it's unrealistic.

All Jack Reacher books are silly, but this one is patently absurd. Super violent, no characterization, the plot is laughable.
