Don't Know Jack

Book 1 of 13. It's a really great idea/concept. Her books have her characters coming into areas where Jack Reacher (from Lee Child's books) has been. They look for clues to find him and offer him a job - I think.. I wanted so much to like this - to love this. But her writing is down right painful. It's like, "I'm walking down a grey hallway. It's small. Who built this hallway? Why do hallways exist? Hallways are always a metaphor. Will they know this too? Will everyone know the hallway is here? Why was Reacher in this hallway? We can use this hallway. The boss knew we would walk down this hallway." It's like shut the fuck up about the hallway. I"m exaggerating, but not - you know. All in all, I say: RUN AWAY
