Love all of the books, I read 16 of them while pregnant with baby number 4 and fell in love with the name Reacher, which is what I named my son when he was born, my son Reacher has been lucky enough to meet Lee 3 times at book signings and considers Lee his friend as he remembered him and was so happy to see him everytime!!

I have read every Jack Reacher novel I could get my hands on, twice. After spending 30+ years in the US Army (Combat Engineer) and then spent a few years as a local police officer in a town of 50,000 I can somewhat relate to the main character on multiple levels. The first two movies were very interesting and Tom Cruise did a great job in the role, however Alan Ritchson is more appropriate for the size and build of the book’s character. I am very happy to see the series will continue and even be somewhat updated for the times.

I saw the Jack Reacher movie with Tom Cruise years ago on streaming having never heard of the movie or the book and loved it. Later I heard people were complaining that Tom Cruise was too short to play this guy. Luckily I didn't have that issue, having not read the books, and loved it. The second Tom Cruise Reacher movie is not terrible but it's not as good as the first one. The Amazon Prime series was excellent and I highly recommend it. Can't wait until season 2!

@freddyjisp6452 6 месяцев назад

All the books are the same and the endings are dialed in and headache inducing. Reacher is a great American character, the end. But the books are all the same and the endings are contrived and tacked-on. He talks about the suspension - well dude, the chassis pokes through at the ending every time. Dude says he was an outsider in his own family - get over yourself. You're writing dime store thrillers - a sub genre, but due to all of his success he's Joycean. The younger brother, as said, has a TOTALLY different voice on the page. A totally different writer but Reacher is an impossibly easy character to franchise out...

@greyferguson9319 Год назад

@denniscope219 Год назад

I love the Reacher series! I read the combined effort book "Better Off Dead". It was good, but it was like having a favorite restaurant and then a family member opens another one. Just not the same, just not as good. It has the same menu but the food is as great as the original.

@tootsd Год назад

When I read it I didn't even realize that both of them had written the book. I knew that I didn't care much for the book. It just wasn't the same good Reacher book. I went online to see what other readers were saying and that's when I found out that Lee Child was giving Jack Reacher to his brother. I'll give the next one a try and hope that it is better.

@Kat_Andrews Год назад

Agree. The ones written with Andrew just aren’t the same. Nowhere near as good. Still readable and enjoyable, but not great like they used to be.

@guilhermesouza3280 Год назад

First time I met the character was in the movie with Tom Cruise. Then I watched the TV series. I liked the first Tom Cruise movie, and loved the series. So I decided to buy the books, but they are difficult to find them in Brazil. Thank God for Amazon, because I was able to buy the first ten books from USA and get it delivered by Amazon. So far, the only one I thought it was kind of silly was running blind. Favorite so far is Bad Luck and Trouble

[Jeff Glor has such a nice smile!] Getting back to the strategy to extend the life and work of Lee Child's unforgettable protagonist, Jack Reacher, it was an Interesting story, though I'd heard it before. However, I'd never laid eyes on Andrew, his brother, so the visuals made it worthwhile! And that place they're building out in Arizona! Yowsa! By the way, there's a marvelous story about how Jack Reacher got his name. If you haven't heard it, go find it. I've re-told it dozens of times myself: it's a hoot!

Jack was smart enough to know when to stop That was the right way to finish his life story.

@bobbyhanly3466 Год назад

Have read a lot of them. Am I the only one or does anyone else find them a tad repetitive? "Reacher faced with impossible odds and somehow coming out on top other than the slight cut over his right eyebrow. With the fight finished he walks around the corner and there is the local policewoman looking just like the girl who won Miss America two months before. She goes weak at the knees and they repair to the nearest motel to drink coffee or whatever." And Lee Child is pure English but he's writing in American. Jack is often looking for accommodations and there are drugstores everywhere so it's no wonder America has problems. Not to mention strip malls.
