Jack Reacher is a violent character. Frankly it's part of his appeal. When face with danger, he reacts immediately with crushing blows to disable his opponent. He stood up for the underdog. I loved him because he was noble and inside good inspite of his violent nature. But in Worth Dying For, did Reacher morph into Dexter. He executed the two thungs near the end of the book. Sure they were out to kill him but he had them subdued. If he had broken their legs (and arms), I would have though it was just Reacher. But execution? I'll not post a spoiler and ruin the end of the book for those who haven't read it but I will say, I finished this booking thinking, no more Jack Reacher for me.
