It drove me crazy the use of I, she or he Said Nothing. If I had the digital version, I'd search to see how many there were. I would bet hundreds. Shouldn't an editor have told him to cut them out or change them to the thousands or so other ways to communicate? He chose not to reply. I remained stoically silent. I opened my mouth to comment, and changed my mind. That's just off the top of my head. I don't understand how everyone who reads this book isn't driven bonkers by his poor verb choices, and EXTREMELY short sentences.

Also, the plot was unbelievable. I mean, truly couldn't happen in the real military. I read to the end only because I wanted to see "who done it". But, the book was so bloated with unnecessary passages and pages that I wished I'd skipped to the end from around 30%. He could have left out 100 or more pages and not lost anything in the story.

I loved One Shot - the movie that is. I read this book in chronological order because of the movie. I'm going to read one more Jack Reacher books, but if it's this bad, I won't finish it and I'll be done with the series.
