Why and how? There must be a timeless element in there somewhere. Yet he gets Reacher perfectly, just like the 101-year-old lady, and the nine-year-old boy. He's a definite Gen X member, whose earliest childhood memories must be from the 1970s and 1980s, when the post-war consensus was well and truly over, and the world was a completely different place. A "bonus issue", according to our accountant father. He's much, much younger than me - a late and unexpected addition to the family. Why are they so into my Boomer One fantasy?Īnd above all, how is my brother Andrew so good at it too? I'm stepping back from the series, we're working together for a few books, and then he will take over solo. Roscoe, Reacher's temporary partner in the story, is played by Willa Fitzgerald, and she's fantastic. These are great books and easy to read, i've read pretty much all of them and as you come to expect from Child, it is fast paced, tense and fun to the end with a real protagonist that you will never tire of, probably why they sell so well despite being the same thing in different settings.REACHER is played by the actor Alan Ritchson, and he totally nails it. Enjoy! Having one of these to read on the National Goof Off day is my idea of a fun way to goof off! I can hardly wait to get my hands on the new one. I love the Jack Reacher books and have nearly read them all. Just wanted to say thanks for the great lens. I think Jack Reacher is one of the most interesting characters that has ever been developed. Can't wait for the next one to be published. Other than the first book, I think I have read them in order.
BOOKS LIKE JACK REACHER SERIES
I love the Jack Reacher series and have read all of these books. Renaissance Woman from Colorado on March 26, 2012: I would have preferred to see Matthew McConnaughy as Reacher instead of Tom Cruise - Cruise is too short. Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher-they turned Jack into a hobbit and the first one I read (and favourite) was also Secret Service-related: "Crisis Four". Coming second is Andy McNabb and Nick Stone - and again I'm not up-to-date with them. However, I still think Lee Childs and Jack Reacher are my favourite author and character currently being written. It gives me the opposite impression: a one-off and expected to flop. Have also heard that the film is now going to be called "Jack Reacher" because they think it will become a series of films. So I was expecting a complete unknown to be cast as Reacher (like Sean Connery was unknown when cast as James Bond). He's too old to do it now, but someone with a similar physical stature to Arnold Schwarzenneger is what I was expecting. I probably will do at some point, though.Īs for Tom Cruise playing Reacher - I really can't see it working. I started finding them very formulaic and haven't yet read "61 Hours" or anything after. I think I then started reading them in published order and was so hooked that I was trying to read them in just one sitting! "Echo Burning" I found hard-going, but my first real disappointment was "One Shot" - the first time I've found myself one (and more) steps ahead of the protagonist. The first one I read was "Without Fail" and is, I think, my favourite. It takes a lot of imagination to think of Tom Cruise as Reacher! I also enjoy the Jack Reacher books, I'm reading Tripwire right now, I'm afraid I haven't always read them in order.but, I'm trying to catch up before reading the latest books. Loraine Brummer from Hartington, Nebraska on September 07, 2012: His more recent books are not as good as the earlier ones, though. June Campbell from North Vancouver, BC, Canada on November 21, 2012: Bad Luck and Trouble will always be my favourite because of all of his cheeky one-liners! I love the Jack Reacher books and have read every one of them.
