The Reacher books are my FAVORITE quick read books.
ReplyDeleteUnrelated: And book Reacher looks nothing like Tom Cruise, who played Reacher in the movie, but beyond that, it's one of the only shows I've ever seen that got the majority of the book right... it's almost verbatim "One Shot".
Hello all, I have read ALL the Jack Reacher books. The later books do tend to be rather formalic reading, but great stories and a good character. Biggest problem was casting Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher. After you read some of these books you will understand why it was a Noooooooooooooo moment for many fans. love mce
