I like Reacher, too, but he is starting to wear me out.
The problem is that he's such an obnoxious know-it-all on everything, but then stuff he says about guns is often just ridiculously wrong. This is after he bores us with tedious detail about the weapon in question, leading us to believe he's done some research.
Someone beat me to mentioning the scene where a 38 Special bullet, at almost point blank range, bounced off his mighty pectoral muscle. There was another scene where somehow he knew, based on observing the BG's trigger pull, which way to dodge the bullet as it was leaving the barrel, again at extremely close range.
Then he gets all preachy about guns, and violence in America, but goes into lengthy and obsessive pornographic detail about hideous violence, mutilation, etc. He's really into this stuff in an extreme way.
Oh, and one whole book was essentially a rant about his hatred for Dick Cheney. Just spare us, Englishman.
I like the concept of the character, but he is just so completely full of himself, while pretending he's just a simple wandering soul. Which he NEVER stops reminding us of. For a guy who is supposedly free of the concerns of the common man, Reacher sure is obsessive compulsive about some petty things.
