I have The Affair.

I haven't opened it yet.

But I am all content.

He could have used the story but changed the name. To Tom Thumb or something. Or Jack Can't Reach.

Jack Can't Reach Smile must remember that one!

They should have got Peter Jackson to film it, he could have used the reverse of the technology that made the hobbits look wee.

I really, really don't and am quite askance at the casting but I have got over my urial disappointment and Tom will spend 6 months standing on a box.

That Australian man would have been better, I can never remember his name?

The Affair is brilliant. I have read A Wanted Man, which was good too, but not as good.

BIWI · 06/09/2012 08:44

I saw the trailer, and I don't care how they filmed Tom, even his voice was wrong.

I love Jack Reacher and am devastated that silly little TC is to play him. Sacrilege. I love the way Reacher turns up in town, gets drawn into a drama, susses out the bad guys, kills most or all of them, beds a gorgeous woman and leaves on the bus. Are there any with a different plot?

LadyBeagleEyes · 06/09/2012 11:18

I liked the books, but I'm put off him by his lack of personal hygeine.
He must be very stinky.

I read The Killing Floor when it first came out donkeys years ago and have had loved every book ever since.

I was a bit disappointed with A Wanted Man, I just want him to get to Virginia though and finally meet the female MP he fell for over the phone in 61 hours.

Tom Cruise is NOT Jack Reacher and I won't be going to see the film.

ZacharyQuack · 08/09/2012 11:17

I do wonder if this is Lee Child's solution to Reacher's advancing age. Each annual adventure takes place in the 2-3 days immediately following the last year's adventure.

At this rate he'll get to Virginia in 2034, and we'll all have forgotten who it was he was supposed to be trying to find.

i have just raced thru the first 4 and am addicted, came on line to try and find inspiration to read something else as jack is costing me a fortune on kindle.

I used to love them but I think they are getting a bit monotonous. And the sex scenes are awful. The earier ones are fabulous though.

fivegomadindorset · 09/09/2012 06:51

Hugh Jackman Tufty?

ChaosTrulyReigns · 09/09/2012 23:28

He'd do, fivego.

Wouldn't kick him out of bed for only owning one set of clothes.

Iyswim?
