Dave answers “Lee Child, have you lost your mind or did...”

Bill Jay asked this question about Night School (Jack Reacher, #21):

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

It never felt like any of the main characters were ever in any real danger. There was very little action in the book; the few fight scenes that were in the book seemed to be thrown in and had little to do with the plot. And they followed the usual Reacher formula: punch the first guy, elbow the second guy on the return...etc). The ending seemed rushed.

I do like Reacher's ability to think like the villian/victim and use his reasoning to deduce where he might be found. But it was way overdone in this one. Not the worst Reacher novel I've read, but definitely down there(less)
