Any Lee Child fans?

[Sidge]

Hie new book is out tomorrow - can't wait!!

Does anyone feel their fantasy version of Jack sometimes gets blurred with Lee Child's photo inside the front cover? I still picture a great bod but the face goes a bit weak and watery until I can banish the photo from my thoughts

'Nothing to Lose' is the latest. Don't panic!

Oh no please hammy he is awful in that leather jacket.

BecauseImWorthIt there is a whole new one!!!

and

[swoon]

OK Hammy I have checked and its a blazer now and not a leather jacket but it used to be a leather jacket and OMG WTF are you thinking???????

Definitely not him - he looks like he should be drinking something social with my parents.

I'm trying to blank him from my mind but it's difficult

I'm sorry, Hammy, are you saying that you find this man attractive?

And £10 in Tesco. According to my Mum. For whom I bought it. For Easter. For £17.99 in Waterstones.

Noooooooo!! Completely the opposite! I have this gorgeous Jack Reacher in my mind but Lee Child's face somehow superimposes onto lovely Jack's and ruins my fantasy.

Ah well now I see. I was a bit worried...

I killed the thread

Can't let you do that!

Ooh thank you BIWI. I just read a fight scene in the new book and onlooker asks "What happened?", as there are fallen bodies all around. And Jack says " I did". Am a bit [swoony]

I lurve Dennis Lehane and Christopher Brookmyre, but read half of a Lee Child book and couldn't really get into it. Am I missing something ? should I try another?

Which one did you try to read, havalina? IMO some are much better than others. I found The Enemy the hardest, but I read it in the spirit of reading the whole series (in order).

10 quid in Tescos you say? It has to be done. Love the books, pure escapism.

ooh i have to read the last one yet! I am trying to think of someone fit to play him!

Had nothing to read last night so have started re-reading 'The Enemy'. I can't remember what happens so that's good

Bran - Christopher Brookmyre is fantastic!!! My dh bought be a couple when i was on mat leave and to be honest i thought they looked a bit pants. I was hooked! I particularly like "All fun and games until someone loses an eye" and the one about dodgy mediums.
I also love Lee Child's books, I didn't realise there was a new one out, can't wait to read it! (I never seem to have time to read but curiously have time to lurk on mumsnet )
And I love the Nick Stone novels by Andy Mcnab, now there's a man who knows how to kick some serious ass!

Just finished the new one. Can't wait for the new Harlan one, don't think it's Myron though

Oh I'm glad this thread has picked up, I was beginning to think I was the only Lee Child fan out there!

I'm on page 208 of the new book (couldn't wait for the paperback, got it for £9.97 in Asda) and am really enjoying it. Reacher is just such a stud muffin in an anti-stud-muffin sort of way.

I hope they don't make a film, I prefer to keep Reacher in my head. Sometimes having a well-known film star play the part just ruins the escapism in the books for me.

It's interesting that those of us that like Lee Child also like other similar authors - I too love Harlan Coben (but mainly the Myron Bolitar books), Dennis Lehane, Janet Evanovich, Christopher Brookmyre. I also like Sue Grafton.

Oh I feel all warm and fuzzy here amongst fellow fans
