Lee Child started his Jack Reacher series in 1997, but I didn't delve into it until now and against my normal practice of starting a series with Book #1, I picked up the only one I had, Book #9.
It read as a typical suspense/thriller. Jack Reacher is the typical far too realistic protagonist - damaged and therefore appealing to women, action hero, elusive.
It was a decent read, but I doubt that I'll follow the series. I'd much rather pick up a Harlan Cobin (stand alone, not the Myron Bolitar series), a Lisa Unger or a Dean Koontz (though not his King-like horror novels) that offer a bit more depth within their writing.
