Echo Burning (Jack Reacher, #5) by Lee Child
2.0
By far the slowest passed and most boring Reacher I've ever read. It really takes its time to go anywhere, and where it goes isnt very interesting.
The female protagonist is very annoying. She is a battered wife, and abused, and I understand that, but the way she presents it to Reacher and seems to thing that he owes it to her to help her is just beyond irritating. Usually I want Reacher to help people when he's reluctant, but here I was just like, "Just leave man, not your prob." I'd have been happier woth that ending. Villains in this one are pretty underwhelming too.
