Tai_Mai_Shu Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 I'm half way through The Killing Floor and really enjoying it. It's my first Jack Reacher novel and it won't be my last. Quote
Tai_Mai_Shu Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Finished Killing Floor by Lee Child yesterday. It was amazing. There were a couple flaws but who cares right. The story was great and I started Die Trying yesterday. 4.5/5 Quote
kurtz Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 I have read almost all of jack reacher novels, and some of them more than once. I really love jack reacher character. Only complaint I have is the writer is sometimes inaccurate about weaponry, tactics and martial arts and other details. But despite this they are very exciting novels and I will continue to read them. Quote
tishwebb Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 I love the Jack Reacher books, not long finished Worth Dying For, another one I couldn't put down! tish x Quote
Ken Isaacson Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 Has anyone read either of Andrew Grant's books? (Lee's brother.) Have not gotten to them yet... Quote
Tai_Mai_Shu Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 I've read the second book and thought it wasn't nearly as good as the first. I'm reading them in order and as soon as I finish my current book, I will start it up again. Quote
dk_know Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Read all the Reacher books by Child; except the one he's just released. I enjoyed them all but the latter few are starting to get a bit 'samey'... Still good books to read though Quote
Tai_Mai_Shu Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 Just finished Running Blind. What I like about him much like Michael Connelly is that he leaves you little clue as to whodunit but when it's reveal and explained to you; you're sitting there going how did I not pick up on that. Both very good authors. Quote
Spencermm Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 I think I've read all the Reacher books. Just finished Gone Tomorrow. Not bad at all. My pulse quickened at a few points. I thought it was one of his better ones. Quote
Easy Reader Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 I enjoyed them all but the latter few are starting to get a bit 'samey'... Still good books to read though I have only read the first one and am planning on reading them in order but had a horrible feeling that they would be very samey (his style reminded me a bit of John Grisham) but seeing as how you think they are only samey in the later ones then I will assume they aren't as bad as I am imagining.

Tai_Mai_Shu Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Tom Cruise is in negotiations to join the film adaptation of Lee Child's "One Shot" Quote
pickle Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Tom Cruise is in negotiations to join the film adaptation of Lee Child's "One Shot" God he's not thinking of playing Jack Reacher is he? Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 God he's not thinking of playing Jack Reacher is he? Oh dear, that would kill it for me before it even started Unless he's going to play mini-Reacher ... Quote
pickle Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Oh dear, that would kill it for me before it even started Unless he's going to play mini-Reacher ... yep it would be a real disaster Quote
Tai_Mai_Shu Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 That is what I read so let's cross our fingers. Quote
Tai_Mai_Shu Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 Tom Cruise is now confirmed to be playing Lee Child's iconic Jack Reacher character in an adaptation of the ninth novel in that series "One Shot". Quote
pickle Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 Well thats ruined it then do they even read how tall the character is Quote
paun Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 This is just crazy stupid. Tom Cruse is a little guy. I will not watch this movie even though I love jack reacher. They should have got someone like The Rock or Steve Austin. I do not think jack reacher would jump on the sofa like Tom Cruise on Oprah show. Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Well thats ruined it then do they even read how tall the character is Maybe they'll get some Oompa Loompas to play the bad guys? Quote
pickle Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Maybe they'll get some Oompa Loompas to play the bad guys? OMG in my head its now a musical and they sing every time he takes down a bad guy Quote
Easy Reader Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 (edited) I have just been reading that Lee Child has won the novel of the year award at the Harrogate Crime Writing Festival and am shocked to discover that he is in fact English. I am currently reading my second LC and have to say that throughout both books I have been reading them thinking to myself "this is so American" and then whenever I look at his picture inside the cover I always think "you can tell he is American just by looking at him" You think you know someone Edited July 22, 2011 by Easy Reader Quote
pickle Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 Apparently he is 'thrilled' that Tom Cruise is playing Jack Reacher in the film personally I am less so and it will probably put me of watching the film even though I am a big fan. Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 Apparently he is 'thrilled' that Tom Cruise is playing Jack Reacher in the film Not that I'm cynical or anything, but I have no doubt he was paid vast sums of money to say that Quote
Dannysg Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 I have never read any of his books but I am going to buy the first book to the Jack Reacher series soon.I have heard they are really good so I look forward to reading them. Quote
