by Lee Child, 536 pages
Since Lee Child has become so popular, I thought I'd see what all the fuss was about. Killing Floor is the first of the Jack Reacher novels, and his character is similar to Jason Bourne: a killing machine with few scruples. Still, Jack Reacher does have a sort of moral compass which leads him to care for the good people at risk yet lets him kill the bad guys without much soul searching. The body count was pretty high and the action brutal, so I am not inclined to read the rest of the series even though several people I know recommend it. I might decide to read one of the newer ones to see what it's like, but for now, one is enough.
