Second Son by Lee Child - Book 81

Second Son is a short story which goes back to Jack Reacher's childhood and previews the man he will become. In it, Reacher exhibits all the characteristics for which he is famous in the series of novels by Lee Child. He has an instinct for what lies behind problems and is willing to use both physical and intellectual levels to solve them. Although I enjoyed the story, I found that Jack Reacher seemed almost too grown up for 13, exhibiting a calm and unhurried approach to everything that seems almost uncanny. Still, the story of Reacher's move to a new base with his family and how he solves issues for himself, his brother and his father, make entertaining reading. Recommended.
