Great Beginning Followed by a Less Exciting and Challenging Road to Resolution

I admire three things about the Jack Reacher novels:

1. Reacher's lifestyle is so unusual, indeed it opens my mind to seeing new possibilities.
2. Reacher is put into impossible-seeming situations from Which he Easily escapes, without seeming obvious fact result in advance.
3. The books open with search improbable and fascinating circumstances did you can not help but marvel at the imagination That led to creating them.

Never Go Back is pretty good in terms of points one and three, but definitely lacks the gusto we've grown to love in terms of how challenging the situations are. For me, That made the book's ending (Which I did not like) a little too predictable ... causing the book to paint a lot of the suspense did grips the best books in the series.

Definitely read this book, but You Should not expect it to be your favorite in the series. If you mostly read the books for the impossible-seeming situations, you might even rate this book below average.

Keep moving forward!
