Jack Reacher is losing it. Once a totally off-the-wall loner who tramped around the country leaving no footprints. Now, in "Personal," he can be summoned by a personal ad in Army Times. Once a formidable deductive logician who tracked people down using a street map and his own reasoning, now he relies on data and analysis fed to him by several nations' spy networks. Once able to make steady and direct progress to solve the problems he was willing to take on, now he takes so long to reach his objective one wonders if it is only to provide enough pages to get the list price the publisher wants. I still love the first ten books and reread them every two years; but, the last five Reacher books have been a disappointment I blame it on Lee Childs's success.

Child should start using co-authors so we will be alerted that it is only a pseudo-Reacher book we are being asked to buy.
