Negative Positive
Title: Sloppy research, no mystery
Review: I have to say S. Temerlin practically wrote my review for me (see his of 11/12/2006). Child's knowledge of firearms is not even second-hand. Also, the tactics (it pains me to apply the term) Reacher used to defeat the bad guys were sloppy, self-defeating, and would have gotten him and Alice killed except that the "professional" killers were even more stupid than Reacher. His wrap up of the major bad guy was from an old Perry Mason TV show. This was my second, and last, Child book.
Is the review positive or negative?
