I have The Affair.

I haven't opened it yet.

But I am all content.

I'm with you on the boycott.

But I don't think I'll be able to.

I may gather a sympathetic gang and go and drown out the soundtrack with large tuts.

Well I have just googled and had it confirmed. That's just not right.

There is a funny facebook page "Tom Cruise is not Jack Reacher" with many disgusted fans!

akaemmafrost · 05/09/2012 23:27

WHAT?! TC is playing Jack Reacher!? WTF? Is that a joke?

paulapantsdown · 05/09/2012 23:27

I LOVE Jack Reacher, and I am really dissapointed that old midget chops will be playing him. I know Lee Child has no control over who plays the part, but he did sell the rights to TC's production company, so he should have bloody guessed that TC, with his enormous ego (and small feet) would want the part for himself. I think its a serious misjudgement, as most real Reacher fans won't bother with the film, I know I wont.

I am too skint to buy A Wanted Man in hardback, but have just discovered The Hard Way on my kindle, which I forgot I had bought/not read! Its really good.

Chaos, I agree. I think any Reacher fan should just refuse to acknowledge the existence of that film.

I have the Deep Down short story on my Kindle still to read, but saving it. The other short story only took me about 20 minutes - I want to savour them but just can't stop turning the pages.

I really can't see how Tom Cruise will play a believable Reacher, not sure I can bring myself to watch it!

justanother - I'm starting to re-read 61 Hours and Worth Dying For. I think the timeline that the three books covers is about 10 days, isn't it? Poor Jack must be knackered.

ZacharyQuack · 05/09/2012 23:21

I don't think I could bear to watch Tom Cruise playing Reacher. I'm offended at the thought of it, it's such cynical casting.

BIWI · 05/09/2012 23:20

Oh yes! But I find I've sort of gone off him, knowing that Tom Cruise is playing him in the new film Angry

ThisOnce · 05/09/2012 23:20

Me too, interested to see what Tom Cruise will be like as him.

justanothertenminutes · 05/09/2012 23:19

I really enjoyed the affair, great book! Just finished his latest Jack Reacher, I feel a bit lost now Sad Grin

ZacharyQuack · 05/09/2012 23:19

I've just finished A Wanted Man.

Bought it last week and just looked at it happily for 5 days before starting to read it. 24 hours later - done.

FairyPenguin · 05/09/2012 23:18

Ooh yes, I know the feeling! I love Jack Reacher.
