Lee Child, have you lost your mind or did someone else write this book for you? Not your style. I was not able to recommend Night School to family. First time

I thought Reacher back in the army, that he would be rougher and tougher. Found it a bit boring and repetitive. Think there were one or two lines in the book that Lee Child just copied and pasted in. i.e The dress, the hair, the nylons" must have been in the book 5 times or more. Not a spolier but for much of the book I thought the bad guy was selling Bull semen !!!!!! Not a strong or interesting story at all.(less)

The Night School Jack Reacher feels different. I wondered if Lee Child had someone else writing for him. Reacher's personality is not consistent with earlier books. His moral sense is not as pure. Anyone else find his character different?

It therefore makes sense that his personality and outlook before then would be slightly different. You don't survive in the Army by being the loner that Reacher is now.(less)

Did anyone else think the bit about getting the folder off the shelf was ridiculous? Apparently the German police scientists asked over thirty people how they'd do it and they ALL said the same weird way? I have never got a folder off a shelf like that.

I thought maybe men use only their middle finger on the inside door handle, but my partner also used three fingers. (We sat in the car trying different combinations of fingers and using the middle finger just didn't feel natural.) You would have to very deliberate to use only the middle finger, rather than the way you would open the door without thinking about it. Found the same with other door and drawer handles - you automatically grasp them with several fingers.
And (spoiler alert here) whatever happened to the female messenger, who faced being killed if the plan went belly up? The Iranian gets a new life in the US, but nothing was said about the fate of the messenger, only that she gave the US authorities a lot of help. (less)
