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.
